    Hi, I am running a dating forum with 30K members, I have taken a dedicated server to serve the purpose, I have optimized the site as much as possible, the mysql database size is now 600MB. My issue is, the site is working slow now, earlier with handful of members it was very fast, you can check yourself, it is accessible at https://isociali.com the home page opens little faster as comparable to other pages as other pages are full of spams and someone post in every minute. I am not sure will askimet can solve this issue.

    Hi johnykoch,

    If you install Akismet and check the box labeled “Silently discard the worst and most pervasive spam so I never see it”, that will help with performance. What this will do is prevent about 85% of spam comments (in general — it may vary on your site) from being written to the database, which should improve overall performance.

    I can’t guarantee that it will speed things up as fast as you want them, but it can’t hurt.
