Linux server configuration problem

Faina · 10-26-2023, 01:05 PM

Hello, Linux experts!

I am facing a puzzling issue with my medical billing services website. Recently, I have noticed a significant slowdown in website performance, and I suspect it might be related to the server or Linux configuration. When visitors access my site, it takes longer than usual to load pages and process requests.

brief overview of my setup: I'm running a LAMP stack on a Ubuntu Linux server. While I've had no issues in the past, this slowdown is affecting the user experience, which is a significant concern.

I've checked the usual suspects like server resources, traffic, and caching, but so far, no luck in pinpointing the problem. I'm reaching out to this community for insights and advice on how to diagnose and resolve this issue effectively.

If anyone has encountered a similar problem with their medical billing services website or has expertise in Linux server configurations, I'd appreciate your thoughts on what might be causing the slowdown and how to address it. I can provide more details about my website and server configuration if needed. Thanks

Howdy Faina & welcome to LQ. Let me ask

Have you a backup of the site?
Is there regular maintenace, updates & checks?
Who's the sysadmin?
Could you have been hacked, or could somebody have malware running?
How much do you know about linux?

No, you'd appreciate your hidden spam link in your post getting SEO hits. You purposely hid it, and provided next to zero details about your environment, trying to make things SOUND like you had an actual issue. Funny you also include "medical billing services website" in it...almost as if to go with your hidden link for SEO right???

Why is this in the "LQ Job Marketplace [Archive]"
Faina, have you kept up on security patches for your server? I ask since this type of server seems like a good target for a hack, and that could be a reason for it to run slow.
Another option is that your database is running a slow query, or may have some other issue making it slow.

There is most likely no problem/issue/website involved. The OP is a spammer, who hid a spam link in their post. If you quote their reply, it's very obvious.

::EDIT:: At least it WAS...it's since been removed.
