Well I either pressed the magic button, or GoDaddy patched whatever they broke...
here is a load graph of the past week - they rolled out a patch on 5/16 for a server side security issue.
(they scan websites for malware, so if it gets uploaded, they delete it.)

The first graph is concurrent requests, the second is processes (one request can spawn multiple processes, a DB lookup, template->webpage, fetching last login, etc)
The higher the load, the slower the service time until it throws a fault because the requests arrive much faster than they can be served.
(I know you all love queuing theory, there is one line, and multiple servers)

So I did a few things to reduce requests, but not so much that it should change the arrival all at once at 3am EDT.
Time is in PDT on chart - we'll see.

Since we are talking crazy server stuff; is there a <cheap> way to improve the photo hosting quality of the pics that get uploaded?

Thank you for bringing that up - I upped it a bit, but I need to keep an eye on our disk usage.
Try it out and let me know. It might just make huge pics on the screen - or it might let you click through to a high res pic.

Will this add to my forthcoming refund for the recent downtime? 😉
 
Just to let everyone know you can click on the picture when you post and rescale the size by dragging the corner. Some of the pictures are HUGE now. 😁

Lol. They are ginormous when you open them up on the computer. They seem to take longer loading on the phone as well
