Yes, you are right, we are aware of the issues and I am working on it every day along with a UK programmer and a Singapore programmer as I spend thousands of dollars trying to fix this issue since Oct roll out.
So far we have...
1. Compacted all code
2. Rewrote the photo count funtion, something that is slow it down
3. Cloned the site to two other servers to test it on.various servers.
4. Pulled out every error code and fixed.
5. Hired a person for $450 to evaluate code, fixed their findings.
6. Submitted endless support tickets to my server company about slowness, they say server is ok.
7. Bought a new server and moved the entire project to this new server
8. Move 9 domain names to this new server.
9. Spend spend spend $$$$$ on this project non stop since oct, now over $4,000 of my own money!
10. Paying more money to the server company to boost the server resources and add memory, this cost another $150
What gives?
We are not sure as of yet. Maybe you have some more ideas, or better programmers that can help out. If so, please offer.
The really odd aspect is that the system flies on my cell phone, Samsung S5 on Verizon, then at times it is very fast on my laptop, then it is slow. Trust me, after $4,000+ dollars and 3 months of work with 3 of us working on this job, no one is more aware and more frustrated than me.
We will find a solution, we are working very hard on it.
