My Albums are slow, will changing any of these help?

[MasterRye]

Will Changing any of these Tables increase my speed, MyISAM is used in most. I have already searched and found out how to disable the Random pictures. you can see the very slow speed here. http://www.godsofgamingclan.com/albums It has been this way since I can remember. I am expecting more traffic now and this wories me. Thank You.

As of speed, I found it extreamly fast...
maybe your connection with the server is slow?
for debuging purposes uncomment from includes/constants.php:

Code: [Select]

// define("PRINT_STATS", 1);
// define("PRINT_QUERIES", 1);
// define('PRINT_CACHE_MESSAGES', 1);
(remove "//")

No problems for me either.  Your home page logo is 368K, ouch.  You can definitely help by making these pictures more web friendly.  That logo shouldn't have to be any larger than something like 50k

It could also be that when you experienced a slow down, someone else was conducting a heavy download or upload for a different site on the same server.  I've seen that before too

and the top animated logo is 190kb...for such type of animation I think u'd better off with a flash-based animation, the file size would probably not more then 20kb either...

Man I feel silly than. I just have asked more members opinion. But what about the tweaking of the tables? YAY or NAY? Unfortunantly I do not know flash or I would gladly use it, and in our forums banner too. That one is about 4.4MB LOL, All I know is Photoshop. Thanks for your responses.

since two reponses u've got confirmed that the site working fast, what is the point do anything to the database?
perhaps u should try your site with default template and see if it still loads slow for u.
