Hello

i know lots of my site visitors, members still using dial up so i always have to check my page generation times after install new something so sometimes i cant use what i wanna use Sad

My page generations was 0.150 - 0.260 now i see its between 0,900 - 1.650 i didnt add new thing except sentinel and just delete Ravens HA script.But i also see Raven use Sentinel in this site but pages not slow so i wonder if i did something wrong. Rolling Eyes

Thats really not a bad page gen at all.

Did you happen to do the speed up from djmaze in the mainfile?
If not look in the Speed Freaks forum at NC

My page gen's didn't hardly blink when I installed it. Try turning, one-by-one, each option off, refreshing the page SEVERAL times, not just once, and see when it changes. Always make sure that you refresh your screen 8 or 10 times, throw out the high's and low's, and then take an average of the remaining times.

Mostly likely your slow down is due to the "Harvester Blocker". The large the list the longer it takes to check each visitors user agent against it. Try turning the "Harvester Blocker" off and then check your page gen times. Should drop back down to very close to the old times.

Then go thru the Harvester list to see what strings you don't want to block out and remove them. This will shorten the list and make the comparision on each page quicker. The default list is rather large as I pulled it from a site that lists known bad robots and web rippers.

[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] is just one of many but this is the one I pulled the original harvest list from Smile

Goto google and search for Bad Bots to see just how many sites there are that list the same general things Smile
