I had a company develop an XML (white label) site for me and for some reason I cannot figure out why its so slow. The site has javascript elements as well as the XML feed. It also has caching implemented.

The problem I am having is the site hangs sometimes, other times it can be fast. But when the site hangs, it can hang for 10, 20, 30 seconds!

I am really at my whits end. Please let me know if you have any ideas?
 


It's suicidal.

Are you on a shared host? If so - well that could be it depending on what else is going on at the moment.
 
How many elements in the XML when it's slow? XML is a mother fucker to parse compared to working with DB datasets.

Wouldn't make it slow unless it was the load that was doing the caching though right? He did say he was caching.

Sounds like server load.
 
Hey guys, I have a programmer in house looking at it and he said from what he has seen so far, it looks like the server is the issue. Moving to a different server now (rackspace). It is a dedicated server, yes.
