Slow external access to sites
Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2010 3:16 pm
Hi there, I wasn't sure where to put this topic, so hopefully this isnt off topic.
Anyway..
I have a top of the range server, v.decent spec, running apache, php, postgresql.
Internally, the pages are accessed via the server ip/page, ie: 192.168.1.100/whatever/pages.php.
Its based on MVC, and uses Smarty as a templating.
Internally everything loads fast with no problems.
Users can access the site externally too, and this is based on say IP(of internal router) which points to the server via router forwardings etc etc(the norm really).
But accessing it is stupidly slow, even with a decent server.
Any ideas how I can go about testing this? Is it literally down to a crap download/upload connection?
We can only get ADSL2+ in the area, so downloads like 5-6mb, up is < 1mb which is poor. Is that the issue?
any advice would be appreciated!
Cheers
