  • I seem to have fixed the slow load time on my site by the following:

    Look inside the plugin for the file responsive-slider.js. Fine the line near the bottom of the file that has:

    rsjqu(window).onload(function() {

    and change that to:

    rsjqu(window).ready(function() {

    The downside of using “ready” is that it may take a quick second for your slider images to load. The upside is that the slider area appears almost immediately so you don’t have the problem of the slider area appearing after a delay.

    I’ve tried running the backup and I repeatedly get it stuck at between 72% and 78%. I did notice after I deleted and reinstalled the plugin that it’s putting the files in a new location on Dropbox, so it’s backing up everything but still it should be able to finish after two days.

    I did a delete and reinstall, but now the backup won’t finish. Here’s the log:

    00:00:34 : Backup started on Thursday October 18, 2012.

    It just says this:
    05:59:19 : Backup complete.
    05:59:19 : Creating SQL backup of your WordPress plugins.
    05:59:18 : Creating SQL backup of your WordPress core.
    05:59:15 : Backup started on Wednesday October 17, 2012.

    But, I don’t see any SQL file in the backup folder either on the server or in my Dropbox account.

    I am still not getting a SQL file in 1.3. I’m also not seeing any errors in my server log.

    (@sclough)

    Ok, the more I look at this, the issue isn’t that it’s not creating a sql file, it’s not doing the backup at all. However, when a backup runs the admin page shows this:

    Backup completed on 2012-09-09 at 09:38:14
    Backup started on 2012-09-09 at 09:38:13

    There is nothing in my error logs, but nothing is backing up. Any ideas where to start? I’ve used this plugin a long time and not had an issue for a long time.

    Thread Starter sclough

    (@sclough)

    On my setting page is says it completed successfully. It shows no errors, it just doesn’t create a new sql dump file.

    Thread Starter sclough

    (@sclough)

    Well, the last sql backup I have (dated July 31) is only 3.1 MB so the database can’t be that big.

    No errors in the server logs I have access to. When I go to the plugin page it just says the backup ran. Any idea where else I could look for errors?

    Thread Starter sclough

    (@sclough)

    Yes, but see my original post. Mine hasn’t been updated since July 31st. It’s not updating the SQL backup.

    Ok, I did some basic benchmarking. Keep in mind this is on a vps that doesn’t have much power, but it suitable for a few low volume sites. I’d be curious to see where the numbers went on a machine with a lot more cpu and more memory. If I have time, I’ll benchmark the site on my laptop and see what the numbers there are.

    My method:
    I ran the benchmark’s twice. I first ran the site with no caching. Then I ran the site with db-cache involved. Then, just to get a comparison with one of the other caching techniques, I ran it with hyper cache. Apache was restarted between each run to clean out it’s memory and worker processes. I also “primed the cache” between each run by navigating to a few pages.

    The summary is that db-cache 0.6 is better than no cache, but still trails hyper cache by a wide margin. Again, I’d be curious to see if the gap narrows on a machine with a lot of cpu. Db cache is being slowed down because it still has to execute the php scripts and serialize and deseriaze the data whereas hyper cache is basically serving pages without a database hit. I’m not being negative about db cache, just trying to account for the difference. It might be good to see if there is a way to optimize the saving and loading of queries. That might be a place for optimization. Having all the php scripts execute each time though is going to make it hard to match caching techniques that serve a written page like hyper or super cache (which obviously have their own downsides as well). I’m not being negative, I just think you have to be honest that db cache is never going to match the speed of something like super cache because of the php code that’s still running. Still, db cache could be a good alternative for people that don’t want the complexity of super cache.

    For the curious, here’s the details:

    Ok, I’ll watch for the new version and try to do some really basic testing using ab.

    True, but what I was saying is it would be helpful to measure the cpu load of serializing and unserializing the query results. If it takes more cpu to perform that i/o than it does to query and parse the database results, then under load you still really wouldn’t have a benefit and would still need something like super cache to survive a digg hit.

    I like the plugin, we just need someone to do some load testing to see how it performs under full load. I’m going to try if I get some time, but I’m certainly not an expert at it.

    This is one question I had about the plugin. Has anybody done some load testing with it? I like the theory behind it and I’m using it on two blogs without any problems. However, I haven’t really spent a lot of time in the code and depending on how the queries are being cached, it may be possible that the cpu overhead of parsing the cache is equal to the i/o overhead of calling the database if you are dealing with small queries. I’d be interested to get some input from others on this. I do think db-cache is the best caching approach overall.

    Thanks for that! Maybe I missed the documentation, but could you elaborate on what “autocleaning” is? I saw in the 0.4 update that there was an autocleaning fix.

    Also, could you describe how the cache cleaning is going to work? does the whole cache get cleared when someone publishes or comments?

    What I was thinking would be nice is any time an update or insert is done to a cached table, the cache for that table is cleared.

    Thanks for your work on this. I love it’s simplicity.
