Site Visitors Block - Too Heavy a Resource
Add OnsThe site visitors block that many of you have seen in operation at Nuke Cops has been found to be the real culprit behind slow page loads at high volume PHP-Nuke websites. There are hundreds of queries processed in this one block that actually causes a MySQL denial of service attack. Removal of this block has seen a highly significant increase in page generation times at Nuke Cops.

If you are running a high volume PHP-Nuke portal like Nuke Cops or Computer Cops, then try disabling the site visitors block to help our your server load performance. Credits go to Mudcrutch for keeping a sharp eye open.

Would you say then that this probably also holds true for other 'site-visitor' type blocks, or blocks that combine all that type of data into one block?

Yes I have the same question as well - What about the "Who's online block"?

I tried to tell you that a long tiome ago.
Too many images and other unnecessary info that is not needed for the type of site you are operating.

There are way to many images in the site visitors block and the colors are kinda bright, what I did was take all the redundant icons out I think i got it down to about 6 or 9 icons then i opend them each n photoshop and choose "desaturate" to make them all gray. if anyone wants my gray icon set just pm me ,,

Have you ever thought of just putting it on the right hand side??? that way it would only run the query's on front page loads only...

I really liked that block. there has got to be a way to do all those query's in a single (or close to it) shot is there not?

just a thought.

at http://www.nukedgallery.net , i made a change to the block so that only PM info is shown for a user. all the rest (members online, etc) is only shown for admins (and i've moved the sql queries into an if(is_admin($admin)) code block). it's sped up my load times by almost 0.6 seconds.

You could give my Online block a shot, 2 reasons one its highly configurable and you could turn of the guest info to only show the toal number on rather than all the info. Also I would be interested to see if my block would slow down the site. Just out of curiosity
