Hello-
I haven't posted much in the forums because I tend to mess around and figure things out for myself using prior users q&a. I'm going to post this in the hope that one of you geniuses can help me figure this out.
Here is my information:
- My website URL is: www.openwindowmedia.com
- My Joomla version number is J-2.5.3 Stable
- My Rockettheme template version number is: Ionosphere v1.2
- My Gantry version number is v3.2.16
My issue is:
After upgrading from Joomla 1.7 I seem to have intermittent issues with the site timing out. I'm aware that because it's hosted on godaddy and they are shared servers that everything will be generally slower, but slow is one thing and this issue seems to be something different. This was my first Joomla site and I use it to basically test anything and everything for any other sites that I may be doing. What I'd really like to do is to comepletely erase the installation of J2.5.3 thats currently running and install a J2.5 Rocketlauncher fresh. Can I do this and still keep the database that is currently there so that I can reapply the data on the new install?
Any help someone could give would be greatly appreciated, I know everyone is busy. Thanks.
Matt

Yeah this is possible with basic knowledge of MySQL. I'm not 100% on if you can just delete the 1.7 and install the 2.5 and use the same database you could try. Just copy the info over from the configuration.php file. Worse case if you want to go fresh with the 2.5 just install, create a brand new database. Then export the tables one at a time and import them into the new database where you need. Just an idea...
In addition, I don't think your problem is Joomla. Your page loading times have a lot to do with the content you're loading. For example you're loading 4.5 mbs of images to your end-user. Thus 65% of your page-loading is from images alone.
Go here:
http://tools.pingdom.com/
Pingdom says, "Your website is slower than 92% of all tested websites"
Type in your URL and it will show you everything that loads and how long it's taking and file size. You need to make your images small and that alone will drastically improve your load times.
Additional things would be combine your 31 CSS files that are loading. Fewer requests will result in faster loading.

- I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for your response. I'm in the process of resizing all images for faster loads. I'll need to research combining the .css files but hopefully that will help as well. Thanks again.
