About a month ago we’ve moved our applications to bigger servers. Starting with our upload servers followed by the services that deliver your websites.
We use a monitoring tool called Pingdom that monitors our servers 24 hours a day. It checks if all runs well, when not I get a sms message, which actually can be in the middle of the night. Pingdom also creates insightful graphics about the response time of our users websites.
You can see (in the figure above) that the load time peaked at 600ms to 1000ms at the end of June and beginning of July. We believe the load time should not be more that 500ms (half a second). So we decided to speedup the websites by moving to faster servers. We run all our servers in the Amazon AWS cloud and benefit from the standards that are created by the big Amazon.com. We moved to 7.5GB 4 core instances and the load time went down to around 360ms, which is pretty fast!
Thanks guys for this improvement! Always good to hear you guys keep improving Viewbook!
