Whore’s knickers
It’s happening again.
Just when I thought things were running smoothly, this buggering site has started acting up again. It’s up and down like a yoyo and I haven’t a clue what’s causing it.
I moved the whole kit onto a new server recently and it has been belting along. The old server had been a bit overloaded but the new one is clear and clean. For the geeks amongst you, it has a response time of around 600ms where the old one had been approaching an average of around 16s. There is no indication of anything untoward on the monitors, apart from the site dropping.
So it looks like I’ll have to dig out the old pitchfork and start digging through bloody log files. As if I didn’t have enough on my plate.
Incidentally, those of you who use WordPress.com for your site are in for a treat. They propose to launch WordPress 5 on the 19th and you will all be introduced to the delights of Gutenberg! That old familiar screen where you write your outpourings is about to change into a weird and surreal world of blocks.
Enjoy!
Ah, Gutenberg!
First you take a block of wood and cut your type into it, then you ink the typeface, then apply it with smooth and even pressure to your screen. Having done that, you take the next block . . .
That is actually a very good description. That must be why they chose that name.
Aaaargh, WordPress you say?
WordPress indeed. You can actually try out Gutenberg now, if you go into your admin screen -> choose your site and then scroll down to the very bottom of the left sidebar to WP-Admin.
Strange, every time I bang into your site it’s always there and plenty responsive.
And for those on their own WP install there’s always the “Classic Editor” plugin to give you back the traditional editor when WordPress 5.0 rolls around us as well.
It transpires that I had a plugin that was tying itself in knots. What is strange is that I have the same plugin on another site that works perfectly. I thought computers were supposed to be logical and not emotional? Just because it disliked this site……….?
