I spent a fair amount of time this weekend optimizing the interaction between NGINX, PHP, Symfony framework tuning handles, Postgres and Cloudflare before I give up on this server and move kbin.run to a more powerful machine. The big change that will improve performance: I’m force rewriting the caching headers on images that are being incorrectly served by Mbin (and /kbin) using Cloudflare transforms and caching rules… but the underlying problem is something the Mbin team is aware of and will investigate further.

I hope everyone enjoys the boost in page responsiveness now.

Have a nice week!

    that was a rollercoaster to read

    (also thank you for investigating and fixing so many issues)

      lmao, gotta make sure people read my entire post!

      this VM host is old and tired, so it has been like squeezing blood from a stone to eek out any more performance. my plan right now is to move it to a faster server once the service is up for renewal; i paid a year in advance to get the best rate, so it’ll be a couple of months before that happens.
