Why are my joomla site so slow on my wamp server
Hi. We are running WAMP on Windows 2003 Server (Linux not an option at the moment)
I have several sites like:
www.iicdmichigan.org/
www.campus-california.org/
http://new.adpp-mozambique.org
There are 2 problems. The first one is that they are way to big to download
I added the Google Page Speed tool to Firefox Firebug to see how much info was downloaded and how long time it takes
The first one was ok despite beeing big but the
new.adpp-mozambique.org uses over 3-4 seconds to run the
"GET new.adpp-mozambique.org" (See attached picture)
Its only 45kb
I need to understand why its so slow. Does anyone understand why this first command takes so long time and what I can do in Joomla/WAMP to speed this up?

Hi
I just tested your sites
The first 2 instantly loaded, and the second loaded after 2 secs.
I would say its more likely your connection or the system your using to check it throwing up a false slowness.
I'm in the UK and on business fibre optic lines and no performance issues with the site at all.
The only thing I would say is why do you have a flash file for the large image when it doesnt do anything, maybe replacing that might help, if you need the image to change use a css image rotator

We have a 10MB up/down speed
I am not totally sure about the spec but its a IBM eServer xSeries 346 8840
Its also running my IIS Webserver that is generally very fast, so i think it has to do with
WAMP Setting or Joomla itseld
This is another joomla site on the same server. Quite Fast:
http://www.opholdsstedet-golfstroemmen.dk/
I just dont understand thy the WAIT on 3-5 sec when searching new.dapp-mozambique.org.
I would think thats its just the time from looking for index.php untill it responds and download?

Why, if I may ask, is there a flash header with only 1 picture?
This will eliminate the need to load flash on the persons computer just to show 1 pic, don't you think?

Hi Thanks for all your comments
1. Why use flash when only 1 picture
They want the main header to change randomly when you click a link
I am trying to find a replacement module that can do this.
It need to be easy for customer to upload, change etc..
In this way the flash is good as they just upload to a folder and it works
I guess CSS image rotator is not that easy for end user to change.
The user of the site is in Mozambique on slow connection. Thats why it need to be optimized
I am sitting in UK on a Virgin 10mb line myself
Will check out the link for optimization
When they tried the page in Mozambique it took them 5min to load!!

HI
If you need the image to change when a link is clicked
try the plugin simple picture slideshow plugin for joomla
Works a charm
It also rotates on time intervals as well
