*EDIT*Mods please move in necessary.
Lately my site has been slow to connect with the occasional problem of connecting at all. I contacted my web host and after a few emails the issue seems to be resolved. I asked them specifically what happened and they replied by saying the below. I will be honest and say that this is above my head but I am willing to learn.
Towards the end where she says, "Please contact your developers and optimize the scripts.", are my currently installed plugins the problem? This might not be related but I did upgrade from 1.4.11 --->1.1.12--->1.4.13 today.
Any help would be great,
Jeremy

Quote:We could see that the httpd traffic on the server was high. We have now tweaked the apache by adding the following entries in the httpd.conf file:
=====
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 3
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
StartServers 5
MaxClients 120
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
=====
Now the load has been reduced. You may verify the snippet given below:
=====
root@host [~]# w

We could see several memory alerts through the power panel interface, Desktop > Logs > Resource Alerts. Please contact your developers and optimize the scripts.
Please let us know if the issue persists.
