Currently something is causing this issue on my site;

People are complaining saying the site is slow, which it is, when posting new messages and stuff it does take quite a while compared to how the site use to be, I run it on a VPS that I have command line access too.

I also ran mysqltuner.pl and this is the output as far as I know the my.cnf file is also blank.

Code: 
root@s1 [~]# mysqltuner.sh
-bash: mysqltuner.sh: command not found
root@s1 [~]# perl mysqltuner.sh
Can't open perl script "mysqltuner.sh": No such file or directory
root@s1 [~]# perl mysqltuner.pl

[OK] Currently running supported MySQL version 5.5.42-cll

-------- Recommendations -----------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
    Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
    MySQL started within last 24 hours - recommendations may be inaccurate
    Enable the slow query log to troubleshoot bad queries
    Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
    When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size equal
    Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries without LIMIT clauses
    Set thread_cache_size to 4 as a starting value
Variables to adjust:
    key_buffer_size (> 11.8M)
    query_cache_size (>= 8M)
    join_buffer_size (> 128.0K, or always use indexes with joins)
    tmp_table_size (> 16M)
    max_heap_table_size (> 16M)
    thread_cache_size (start at 4)
 
First ask your host to tell you where your my.cnf file is. If there is none, create one (for the format just google it). Then take a look at the recommendations. I would simply double the values from the "Variables to adjust" section, then restart mysql and after some hours rund that optimization program again.

I have enhanced my post. From bash you can run
Code: 
# mysqlcheck --auto-repair --all-databases -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD --optimize
The password is directly after the "-p", there is no space.

Most of the general recommendations are not really there for an admin to change, some require php code changes from xenforo. Just simply double the variable values within my.cnf and restart again. And again. And ... :)

I already ran an optimise command, the problem is that the MySQL time still spikes and continues to just increase as soon as the mysql service is started and also something is causing the PHP to hang for like 15minutes ?
 
You can add this in config.php:

Code: 
$config['debug'] = true;

At the bottom of each page you will find some statistical information about how much time did it take php and mysql to process that page.

You should first know why your page is too slow. Is it php or mysql?

their config wizard even works without using percona

it asks you which version you use, and mysql is an option

@Marcus Used the wizard, didn't have a my.cnf file in /etc/ already so I did this;

> service mysql stop
> nano /etc/my.cnf
> copy and paste from Percona Wizard
> ctrl+o - save as my.cnf
> service mysql start
> starting MySQL.........................
Starting MySQL.. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/lib/mysql//xx.serverhostname.com.pid).
 
OK first thing is to remove the /etc/my.cnf file and start mysld again.

Usually there are error logs, maybe you will find them in /var/log/ .... They are really helpful for guiding you which options did not work out. I would not copy and paste from the Percona Wizard. Actually the mysql tuning is not *that* easy, mysql is out of the box not really configured in a good way so you do have to change a lot of variables to get it working. I guess you could invest some time to google some best practises for "mysql innodb my.cnf"

Guess it's something I've going to have to do as I'm going to have to maintain the site in the long run, I start my new job tomorrow though and my forum is just starting to take off, two good things happening at the wrong times!

Thanks for your help @Marcus
