Hi!
Try to disable those event plugins:
Statistics
Display RSS-Feed in Backend Overview
Customizable Entries Archive
Then you page might also be slow due to sidebar plugins; which ones do you use?
Regards,
Garvin

Hi!
Wow. Your blog simply has a lot of entries! Depending on how well your mysql server is configured, it can simply be that the queries take too long.
At least you need to configure your categories sidebar plugin to not count the entries for each category. With such an amount of entries this takes up a LOT of performance.
Which mysql version are you using? Did you check that the tables have indices set?
HTH,

I am not a pro at server config and I dont know how to tune MySql, but I have access to the server config if you can give me some hints
here is the config of my server ... you have the info there ?
http://www.parlez-en.ca/phpinfo.php
For the number of entries I have to try something to clear the database.
Its possible to delete entries after 30days only if I have no extended or no comments in these entries ?
Like that the database can be cleared alone ..
Thx !

Hi!
the phpinfo sadly does not help at all; MySQL version and configuration can only be investigated with tools like phpMyAdmin.
For the number of entries I have to try something to clear the database.

A plugin for this could be created, yes. With some lines of PHP and some SQL lines the checks can be inserted.

Hi!
Version numbers and the use of indices in your serendipity tables, especially serendipity_entries and serendipity_entryproperties.

Hi!
No, if you click on the specific tables you can see a lsting of all indices. The page where also the table structure is dsiplayed.
MYSQL 4.0.18 is really old. If possible you should upgrade to at least 4.1, which has an improved query cache.
HTH,
Garvin

Hi!
Hm, okay. The indexes are okay! Then I think the only thing making your site slow was an old mysql and the large number of entries and the sidebar categories counting plugin.
The error messages are strange, if you mean that "unknown" stuff! Never seen that?!
Best regards,
Garvin

for the Delete Entry after 30 days if I "have no comments or no extended" can you give me a hint ?
I can turn around myself ...
Thx Garvin
