Title: DB optimization
Post by: musicasampler on 03.08.2024 01:14:31
I need to know if there is a Joomla plugin to optimize a database. My website has been suspended twice on hostinger due to lack of optimization.

Hi
As far as I know there is no joomla plugin or similar to 'optimise' the databse.

It is probable that you have multiple cross links, incuding numerous menu items and jD category/Downloads.
Sugest you try to simplify your site a litte - sometimes they grow year on year and nee rvising.

Also what was the actual comment from Hostinger?

Hostinger tells me that I need to optimize the database. I have tried to optimize it by changing the storage engines from innodb to myisam. But I think that is not enough. It seems to me that there is a war against Joomla, there are fewer and fewer hosting that support Joomla, they only want WordPress.

Hi
My impression is also that in USA hosters prefer WordPress - which is 'simpler' but far less powerful than Joomla  Also generally less secure in my view.
The hoster I use in the UK, CW3, is located in New York  with data centres in Los Angeles.  They have no problem supporting Joomla and of course they also support WordPress

That is my two penny worth!!!

Hi
Nearly all hosting services advertise they support Wordpress
The link below is an article for the six best Joomla sites - they are 'large' hosts with centres worldwide
https://www.websitebuilderexpert.com/web-hosting/joomla/

Some of them offer to transer existing sites

You Wrote "I finally hired a VSP and jdownloads works much better. I need to get a plugin for cookies. Do you know of one?"

What is a VSP as I am not familiar with that?
Also what do you want a cookie plujin for? Is it to stop cookies?
