Got a new improved dedicated server but something is not right
-
Hi, i have bought a new and improved dedicated server but something is not right. The first two days it was fast, but now i am having trouble doing tests on it using
http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/tOBLrm0fR/www.in2town.co.uk
gtmetrix is having trouble accessing the site and when it does it comes up with 14 seconds and more.
here are the results
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.in2town.co.uk/NqOj98OV
everytime i contact the hosting company about it they say it is running fast and they do not see a problem but refuse to look at the history of this tool.
can anyone please let me know if my computer could be causing these problems or is it my hosting company that is at fault.
my site is www.in2town.co.uk

Thanks for that. i have notified them and it is running faster, so i will keep an eye on it. one of my major problems at the moment in the speed tool is it keeps coming up with Specify image dimensions which i have done in my joomla website and it also comes up with Optimize images, which i do as i use photoshop so i am a bit puzzled why it is saying these two things. But i am happy the speed is faster now after getting a new server, will keep testing it over the next few days.
thanks everyone

Diane,
It's loading up fast for me as well. The gtmetrix report now gives it a "B" grade with a page load time of 1.51 seconds which is pretty good.
-
thank you for this, i have sent them a message and hopefully they will get it sorted out, will keep you updated.

something is definitely not right.I think your DNS is not configured correctly, get your admin to check that it is resolving to the correct IP address. This probably changed where you moved to the dedicated server.

Hi Diane,
It loads quickly when I just checked it. Slow load times could be due to lots of things - have you had a look what Google Analytics says about your page load times out of interest?
Content > Site Speed > Overview
Have a look what the average reported is after setting it to the time period your new server has been live. How does this differ from your old servers average?

I want to shift my website to a new domain name, with my brand name. Would Lose rankings
hi, Currently i have a 18 year old domain name "www.jaipurdentists.com". I wish to shift to a new domain name "www.thaperdental.com". primarily because of two reasons: 1. I have a same name competitor with domain "www.thaperdentalclinic.com", the site gets benefited because of the brand name domain. 2. The new domain name "www.thaperdental.com" is better to remember and pronounce. Even if I redirect all web-pages, properly to the corresponding web-pages on new site. Should I go ahead with this? will it result in drop in rankings!

Changing permalinks in new wordpress website using regex in 301s?
Hi there I am working on a website and we would like to change the permalinks from product-category (replacing with Shop) and product to buy. Currently there are nearly 400 products and multiple categories. Although the website has just been indexed wondering if we need to do 301's? if we did would like to use regex to manage so redirect would be as example: mydomain.com/sub-domain/product-category/ redirecting to to mydomain.com/sub-domain/shop/ (I know you do not need to put in the domain but as an example) - could anyone give me the regex for this? Same for products: mydomain.com/sub-domain/product/sample-product redirect to mydomain.com/sub-domain/buy/sample-product thanks in anticipation

Time to deindexing: WMT Request vs. Server not found
Google indexed some subdomains (13!) that were never supposed to exist, but apparently returned a 200 code when Google somehow crawled them. I can get these subdomains to return a "server not found" error by turning off wildcard subdomains at my DNS. I've been told that these subdomains will be deindexed just from this server not found error. I was going to use Webmaster Tools and verify each domain, but I'm on an economy goDaddy server and apparently subdomains just get forwarded to a directory, so subdomain.domain.com gets redirected to domain.com/subdomain. I'm not even sure with this being the case, if I can get WMT to recognize and remove these subdomains like that. Should I fret about this, or will the "server not found" message get Google to remove these soon enough?

Redirect to new domain.... (which is penalised)
Hey - how's things? I have a client who wants to redirect his main domain to a new one.... there are a couple of problems I see and thought I'd ask on moz. 1 - The new domain has been incorrectly parked on the old domain with no redirection in place... when you do "site:domain.com" in Google, there are no serps for the new domain (the old domain still ranks well), it doesn't seem to rank anywhere and doesn't return any results in OSE. Is it wise to redirect to this domain or will rankings drop on both? 2 - The new domain uses .mobi as its suffix and will be replacing a .com - but is much more related to the business keyword wise. Is using mobi a problem. Overall the SEO on the site is abysmal and I will be reworking everything - so there will be lots of changes going on at the same time. I'm just wondering if it is worth redirecting the new domain at all, or trying to get brand new domain and use that.... or just to stick with the original aged domain... I think that is my only concerns at the moment

SEO impact of an iframed blog is very low ? Right or wrong ?
We're thinking about adding a blog to our site, but our CMS blogging features are not good. Someone suggested using a wordpress blog and putting it in an iframe on our site. I replied that all the SEO impact of our blogging efforts will be lost because of the iframe. I am right or wrong ? If I am right, could you suggest better alternatives ? Thanks in advance !
