XOOPS.org extremely slow [by kevinpetit]

XOOPS.org feedback & suggestions::XOOPS.org extremely slow
Hey all,

I have noticed that XOOPS.org has become extremely slow the last few times I have used it - I now that historically, the hosting of XOOPS has been done by a list of companies going back years and years ago with it being sponsored for a while even.
A lot of consolidation has happened in the webhosting market and the current host of xoops.org, Arvixe, has been acquired in a loop where a company gets acquired and the websites get moved to new hardware with very strict resource limitations set on it. That has led to the XOOPS.org website being extremely slow, while the costs for the hosting have probably increased a lot.
The same thing has happened with a lot of web hosters, all being acquired by Newfold Digital, Inc (who used to be known as Endurance Group). They're known for this kind of thing where they acquire good webhosts and then just drop all kinds of support/outsource it, performance gets really bad and prices go up.

I have been having real issues today where several pages just refuse to load or take VERY long to load and I suspect others are also having the same issues.
I also had issues where a password reset link didn't want to send (Failed to write message to sendmail (broken pipe).)

Instead of continuing to use Arvixe (of which the price and performance will only worsen), I would suggest we look into another hosting partner/provider that isn't a part of Newfold Digital, Inc and perhaps even go with a VPS at a provider like DigitalOcean, which will likely provide a MUCH better performance to price ratio.

Previously, I worked at the biggest webhost in my (European) country, so I do have a lot of experience with webhosting, tweaking things and managing a server. I am absolutely willing to offer support here to help manage a server or help improve the configuration/tweaking things. But right now, xoops.org has gotten so slow that something needs to happen.

Thanks for the response, but the problem I see is:
https://xoops.org/modules/publisher/thumb.php?src=https://xoops.org/uploads/images/img680f07df742b6.jpg&w=500&h=500

From my understanding, there is no option for scaling using the 'contains' method (which means the image should fit within the required dimensions). As a result, images in these blocks sometimes appear very stretched.

I was thinking maybe it's possible to separate editing and new messages?
Spammers are a common problem.
