Hi Alex,<br>
<br>
I didn't particular want to spam the consulting list. I work for Cadre Web Hosting and I think we ought to be able to help with your request. We offer a fully managed line of VPSs and our Performance Pack includes apc, varnish, memcached - the caching software that everyone is referencing.<br>
<br>
However, we are also attached to Advomatic, a top notch Drupal development firm that can help diagnose performance problems in the code itself that aren't hosting related.<br>
<br>
Take a look at <a href="http://www.getcadre.com" target="_blank">www.getcadre.com</a> and see if it is in your price range. I'm happy to offer a free telephone or email consultation to start the process of optimizing your site.<br>
<br>

Our website is hosted by GoDaddy. At GoDaddy, we have a dedicated server,<br>
and its about the largest/fastest server they offer.<br>
<br>
We need someone to look at our coding and determine why pages and queries go<br>
so slowly, and make recommendations as to how to speed it up.<br>

Hi Alex,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Based on the your requirement,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
There are two possibilities for being site slow.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
1) Server is not configured properly<br>
<br>
2) Coding is not proper<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hence to get an exact idea what is the root cause of slow down we will need<br>
access to both client’s server and drupal installation.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It will take 12 hours to analyze what is causing this slow down. If it’s<br>
from custom coding then we can estimate based on the coding done.<br>
<br>
But if its default drupal coding (no customization from developer) then the<br>
cause for slow down is from server side which we can improve upto 20-60%.<br>
<br>
It will take around 24 hours.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So if no custom coding is involved then site performance can be improved up<br>
to 40% in 24 hours.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But if coding is causing this slow down then we need access to coding to<br>
estimate how much it will take to correct it. Without proper idea of coding<br>
we can’t estimate how much time it will take.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So over all job is 36 hours (assuming server is causing this slow down,<br>
hence no modification in code. Only configuration server is needed).<br>
<br>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
I am running a website and I am looking for a drupal company to help me<br>
speed it up.<br>
<br>
<br>
- Functional pages run very slow, such as:<br>
- running query searches on:<br>
<a href="http://www.edgestudio.com/talent-library" target="_blank">http://www.edgestudio.com/<u></u>talent-library</a><br>
- running query searches on:<br>
<a href="http://www.edgestudio.com/practice-scripts" target="_blank">http://www.edgestudio.com/<u></u>practice-scripts</a><br>
- and so on<br>
<br>
What is an estimate of the cost to speed up this site?<br>
<br>
Please give me an estimate of the cost as well as a means of evaluating<br>
your company. I'd rather not share specific information about routers and<br>
internet configurations; other companies have been able to give me a<br>
straight up cost, and I would much prefer that. Thanks so much!<br>
<br>
Alex<br>
