Site slow? Using news module? Read this!

Here is the deal,
My site was becoming slower day by day so I change server.
Now after 3 months godaddy comes and says: "resolve your problem or buy dedicated server".

I was about to purchase a dedicated server but I had good news!
Your problem is in "modules/news/article.php" they said

So I went to see.

I put counters all over the code and I was able to isolate a function that took me 3 seconds to load.

That is the function responsible for showing previous and next link.

This function does a query without any limit to the database meaning that if you have 15.000 news and 100 users online as i do you will get in serious trouble (and it will get worse news by news as the query becomes longer).

So for thoose of you who might have the same problem I recomend to disable "Show Previous and Next link" in the news administration until we get a better way to get thoose links from the database.

That´s it!

Perhaps you could send a PM to Hervé with a link to this thread (just in case he misses it)?

@avtx30: My version is 1.53 but doesn´t matter, it goes true every version. Hervet is looking into it so he will get a turn around, I´m sure.

@Christian: Yes I read the above link, is very helpful, but is not related with this issue.

My site has never been faster, I´m so glad I found this, and I´ll sure pay more atention to this kind of problems. Thank you all.

Thanks for the post. I will be on the lookout for this. I always use the news module on all my sites. I hope this will make it better for my server.

Nice detective work Trabis. I use News 1.53 too. I hope a fix becomes available for the prev/next feature as it is useful.
A thread is for life. Not just for Christmas.
