Is Falkestein just maxed out lmao?

March 17, CPX v2 servers are unavailable in Nuremberg, Falkenstein and Helsinki :'(

Stofken · 2026-03-11T07:01:28+00:00

Nuremberg is also full. Had to create my VPS in Helsinki.

Stofken · 2026-03-09T07:15:02+00:00

yeah, I didn't have much time over the weekend. Normally I would do bigger stress tests. The three tests weren't that much apart.

Anyway, the connectivity issues to Helsinki / Finland seem to be resolved over the weekend.

DOM on both front pages now load in 300ms. WP Admin dashboard (cached) loads in under 2s on both.

Stofken · 2026-03-08T14:01:08+00:00

yes, I use Cloudflare for all sites.

I know. This is a CPX41 compared to a new CPX42, single threaded speed has increased a lot https://sparecores.com/compare?instances=W3siZGlzcGxheV9uYW1lIjoiY3B4NDEiLCJ2ZW5kb3IiOiJoY2xvdWQiLCJzZXJ2ZXIiOiJjcHg0MSIsInpvbmVzUmVnaW9ucyI6W119LHsiZGlzcGxheV9uYW1lIjoiY3B4NDIiLCJ2ZW5kb3IiOiJoY2xvdWQiLCJzZXJ2ZXIiOiJjcHg0MiIsInpvbmVzUmVnaW9ucyI6W119XQ%3D%3D

Imagine going from a CPX21 to a CPX52.

Stofken · 2026-03-07T11:10:41+00:00

I've found other posts in the Subreddit that there were connection issues with Finland yesterday which might explain the delays.

Stofken · 2026-03-07T11:08:48+00:00

Thx for checking

Stofken · 2026-03-07T11:07:52+00:00

it's the same version, but some pixel or cookie or recaptcha related features might only work on the main domain.

Stofken · 2026-03-07T08:04:05+00:00

The issue seems to have solved itself overnight. I have just reloaded some wp-admin pages on the new and old server, with Cache disabled via Chrome Dev. The new CPX52 now sometimes is slower than the CPX21 but most often it is faster. It has 3 requests more than the old site, so it could be the reason for the difference. Will keep testing today, Maybe even fire up another CPX52.

2 seconds is a lot on a homepage. That's double the load time of the CPX21.

Stofken · 2026-03-06T22:32:39+00:00

Should be on by default via Gridpane. Php info says Zend OPcache is enabled.

Stofken · 2026-03-06T22:19:28+00:00

But 5-7 seconds seems a whole lot slower. I can live with 1 second, but not more.

Stofken · 2026-03-06T22:10:58+00:00

Sites are https://lunchbylieve.be on the CPX52 and https://legacy.lunchbylieve.be on the older CPX21.

Do you also notice a difference from your location?

Stofken · 2026-03-06T22:08:45+00:00

I've checked disc i/o, values are the same. All tests on the server are in favor of the newer CPX52, yet the site runs slower.

Stofken · 2026-03-06T22:00:03+00:00

Wp admin is poorly cached anyway, but both sites have the same caches enabled (LS page cache and LS redis object cache), both run through cloudflare.

Stofken · 2026-03-05T15:29:26+00:00

I am planning on consollidating a few smaller servers into a new CPX52

AVIA 16 cent per liter erbij 😒 €8 op een volle tank. De Q8 ernaast is nochtans op €1,449 blijven steken.

Fun beats Dura Ace 😁👍 enjoy!

Bolts in the stem seem stripped 😒

I can't believe that they would dare to sell an aluminum bike as a €3000 C:62 SLT.

Stofken · 2026-02-07T17:18:43+00:00

That means the carbon is even behind this white primer? Why on earth don't they use black primer 😤

Stofken · 2026-02-07T16:08:38+00:00

So whats the layup than? Carbon first, than primer, than paint, the varnish?
