Hi, I have had XOOPS running on my site now for about 1 month and just a day ago the main XOOPS page started taking ages to load through my browser, my start module is News.

I didnt have it cached as sometimes i may have to post several stories in one day and the new stories werent showing as I had cached it for one day, my site loaded eventially however and have changed the news cache to 1 hour but news is still taking a long time to load but other areas and modules such as admin are loading fine.

At the top of this site it says clear cache periodically by updating general setting in admin - preferences but im not too sure exactly what this means if any one could give me any help or tips on the cache feature to make my site load quicker it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
