A recording of the electrical activity of the heart is called an electrocardiogram (EKG). I must admit I don’t know the fancy name (although there probably is one) for recording response times of a server, but the graph output sure reminds me of an EKG.
The server EKG above is of a site that was first on server A (on the left), when it went down as it was moving to a new server, (the break between the lines), and it’s “health” now on server B (the squiggle on the far right). The new server obviously has a much faster response time. What you don’t see is the latest version of PHP and other hidden gems that server A is lacking.
I’m moving all sites (and there’s a bunch) to a new server — including this one — and with SSL certificates there’s a little bit of a downtime for propagation. If you stop in over the next few days and things seem a bit wonky (not sure when I’ll move whatifitdid.com), the issues will be temporary. Probably. **crosses fingers**
I know there’s just a bunch of crap here that nobody really cares about, but it is memories upon memories over 12 or so years for me. I’m tipping the espresso and crossing all fingers as I move the last — and most important — 5 or so sites.
