Hi There,

What is the fastest time we can expect on creating new topic on a Shared Hosting and VPS ?

Edit :

At the time I post this, it need 5 seconds on my site after I click post.

That is an absolutely impossible question to answer. There are literally hundreds of factors involved - some of them your host, your server, your internet connection, traffic on the  pipes, congestion, contention, database activity, number of WordPress plugins, number of Simple:Press plugins... Just impossible.

What are you clocking as an average on this site? Is it acceptable? And 5 seconds - depending on all of the above factors - is not actually an outrageous amount of time for complex processing like a forum.

Hi YellowSwordfish,

Thank you for your reply. As our forum member are mostly in a developing country with less than 1 MBps internet access, we need to make sure that the forum access time are acceptable for our forum member.

On our shared hosting; the average of new topic posting is about 7-8 seconds on a 5 MBps or 3 MBps ADSL line. Some user which they might use the 3G/HSDPA Connection reported that the forum is slow for them. Some of them refresh their browser on creating new topic / reply to a topic which cause a double post / double reply. We enable the double post check which solve the double post problem.

Currently we are testing on new shared SSD hosting account and unmanaged vps, and we need a target point to after. The fastest time on creating a new topic we could get is at 4-5 seconds, would like to hear if anyone achieve better performance on their Simple Press forum.

Hi Mr. Papa,

Thank you very much for your information.

"its really not an issue of the bandwidth but capability of the server" - Noted.

"I typically 1-2 seconds for posting here…  but is dedicated server…", we have a new target for hunting the cost effective Dedicated Server, VPS or the Shared Hosting choice base on info.

I always believe that at the end of the day you basically get what you pay for. performance will - without doubt - trail off the lower down that list you go! Will be interested to know which option and hosting supplier you decide on...
