And i cant tell wether php is doing it or html o is it another reason
because i only have 20gb bandwidth

My site is called :

It depends on what you're doing. For instance:

for ($i = 0, $j=0; $i < 1000000; $i++)
$j = $i + $j;

will slow down your server. So can inefficient SQL queries and/or a
poor database design. Or too many images/images that are too big. Or a
lot of other things.

spamming your site in this newsgroup can also slow down your site due to
the increased traffic you get from this popular newgroup

yah, like others have said.. bad code, bad database design, too many
images tat are too big, and a lot of other things can slow down your
server.
that said, it also depends on who your hosts are.. some hosts are
known to have slow servers. I cant think of any known slow web hosts
off the top of my head.. but I know there are some out there that have
really slow servers.

In our last episode,
<d6************ *************** *******@d1g2000 hsg.googlegroup s.com>, the
lovely and talented pe************* **@googlemail.c om broadcast on
comp.lang.php:
Does php slow your website down?
Every kind document that uses any kind server-side processing is going to be
at least a little bit "slower" than a static document of similar size from
the same server. If you have static pages, it only makes sense to serve
them without any server parsing. You can avail yourself of the advantages
of modular design by generating such pages --- using php cli, perl, make,
other preprocessors, shell scripting, or whatever you like --- offline.

That being said, most complaints of "slow loading" are really effects of
poor design --- huge graphics, inefficient database calls, poor use of
styles (so the browser cannot makeup the page until it gets the whole
thing).

Programming languages don't slow things down. Bad design and bad coding do
slow things down.

Although not a PHP issue, the JS page refresh is very annoying. If
anything, this only worsens your problems.

I notice that when my weblog software tries to contact www.weblogs.com, to use the update service, my whole site (all PHP) slows down. Contacting www.weblogs.com can take a long time. I can't figure out what is going on, unless the PHP interpreter gets bogged down trying to contact www.weblogs.com, and so is less able to serve up PHP pages to other website visitors. But if the PHP interpreter was that vulnerable to slow-downs, it doesn't...
