jb38: The first issue is that the ."php" names are no longer in use as everything should have long since migrated to /extras/yourcomments - I can put in a temp redirect but generally the "plain" URLs should be the primary use now.

jb38: Sorry, the link for the page is https://ukfree.tv/extras/…ents
The speed issues were part of the migration. I move the site, but the database server was still on the old machine.
In addition, for the sake of debugging, I have turned off the Amazon Cloudfront image cache and also the page compression routines.
Cloudfront is back, but it might be a few more days before everything is back to maximum settings.
I've also fixed the bug that was preventing the count of the number of post being returned. This is fixed so you can now get the the "all post by users" page.

MikeP: The mail is being sent via a service call SendGrid, which seems to be doing strange things to the links.
Going to take a bit more time to fix than I thought...

The email issue seems to be a problem with an extra "/" after the hostname, which worked until the messages were "improved" by SendGrid.
I think I've fixed them but it's going to be a short while before I'm sure.
Thanks for helping with this, it is quite an effort keeping track of everything.

OK...As everything seems to be OK with the server, I have re-enabled the various forms of compression that make page loading faster.These are:
GZIP on-the-fly encoding (which is ob_start("ob_gzhandler") in PHP).
CSS compression (which makes all CSS into one big long line)JS (Javascript) compress which is Douglas Crockford's JSMin.
HTML minify which removes redudancy from HTML files.
With all this done I have done a check with the Pingdom page testing tool and the main content page - the thing I have control over - loads in 0.3 seconds.
About half of that is DNS/SSL/connect and the other half page compute time and network send.If you want to see what takes time to load, you can see the test for this page here:

MikeP: I've just clicked on every single link in the email that the system is sending out now. I am pleased to report that they all work and take you to the places you expect. I'm sorry that I can't fix the problem for the messages already sent out, I tried to sort out them with redirects and it kept creating loops so I removed it.

Thomas : Whilst there is TVCatchup - Watch Channel 5 Live and for free for the normal channel, they don't carry +1. Perhaps TVCatchup - Watch Channel 5 Live and for free can help?

One more test to see if the new database server is working.
