The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.4 [K 7.0.4] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.4.x/6.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 / K 6.4 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 7.0
I wonder if someone could take a peek at our site and give me some hints as to why our brand new (IE: very few posts) is running extremely slow. When you click forums from the home page - it takes about 11 seconds to load. I have not added SEF in fear of slowing it down even more.
It's not just the forum: the whole site is really slow.
In your front page index.php takes 5-7 secs to load at the first time and after that about 2-3 secs. Usually front page seems to be about two times faster than the forum.
Do you have one of those cheap hosting services? It looks like that there are way too many sites on that server.
I suggest the Firefox addon YSlow. The following is a report card from YSlow as I ran it on the link you provided:
F 1. Make fewer HTTP requests
F 2. Use a CDN
F 3. Add an Expires header
F 4. Gzip components
A 5. Put CSS at the top
D 6. Put JS at the bottom
A 7. Avoid CSS expressions
n/a 8. Make JS and CSS external
A 9. Reduce DNS lookups
C 10. Minify JS
A 11. Avoid redirects
A 12. Remove duplicate scripts
F 13. Configure ETags
Otherwise Matias is probably correct in that your hosting servers are likely overcrowded and overworked.
