...

Upgrade

Revive Adserver

If you are not running the latest major release of Revive Adserver, then you may well be missing out on performance improvements that have been released. Consider upgrading your Revive Adserver installation, which is also a good security practice.

...

Upgrade PHP

If you are not running the latest version of PHP supported by Revive Adserver, then you may well be missing out on performance improvements that have been released. Consider upgrading your PHP installation, which is also a good security practice.

Review Server Performance Data

If you want to manage the performance of a Revive Adserver installation, then having access to server performance data is essential. Without it, it is impossible to make effective changes to your setup.

...

The following advice is based on having this information.

High CPU Utilization

In the event that your Revive Adserver installation is on a server that is suffering from high CPU utilization, consider if the following may help:

  • Is If the Revive Adserver installation is sharing a server with other services? If so, can , consider if the other services can be moved to another server, to all Revive give Revive Adserver a greater share of the server's CPU capacity?.
  • If the Revive Adserver database is on the same server as Revive Adserver itself, consider if the database can be moved to another server, to split the CPU used for Revive Adserver from the CPU used for the database.
  • Consider if running a PHP OPCode cache, which will cache a "compiled" version of the code, to save on CPU time when running the scripts, is appropriate.

Otherwise, you may need to consider upgrading your server to add more CPU capacity.

High Memory Utilization

In the event that your Revive Adserver installation is on a server that is suffering from high memory utilization, consider if the following may help:

  • Is If the Revive Adserver installation is sharing a server with other services? If so, can , consider if the other services can be moved to another server, to all Revive give Revive Adserver a greater share of the server's memory capacity?memory capacity.
  • If the Revive Adserver database is on the same server as Revive Adserver itself, consider if the database can be moved to another server, to split the memory used for Revive Adserver from the memory used for the database.

Otherwise, you may need to consider upgrading your server to add more memory capacity.

High Disk I/O

In the event that your Revive Adserver installation is on a server that is suffering from high disk I/O, consider if the following may help:

  • Is If the Revive Adserver installation is sharing a server with other services? If so, can , consider if the other services can be moved to another server, to all give Revive Adserver a greater share of the server's disk I/O capabilities?.
  • If the Revive Adserver database is on the same server as Revive Adserver itself, consider if the database can be moved to another server, to split the disk I/O for Revive Adserver from the disk I/O for the database.
  • Consider if the Banner Delivery Cache settings are appropriately set - a higher cache time will mean fewer disk I/O accesses to retrieve banner details from the database.

Otherwise, you may need to consider upgrading your server to add more disk I/O capacity.
