The errors say that the MySQL server stopped working or crashed. I don't think this is due to Q2A itself, it could be due to high server load. If you're on shared hosting you may need to upgrade. Or it could be the result of another site on the same server.

You should check with your host to see if they can see where the problem is. This might also help: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/gone-away.html

Edit: assuming spaceamigos.com is your site, you have a very long load time for pages, but only for the PHP side. ie static files are being served OK. You should try disabling some plugins and check if one of those is causing high load on your server.

Edit2: some more things to try.

Set the config option QA_OPTIMIZE_LOCAL_DB to true, and QA_OPTIMIZE_DISTANT_DB to false. This will run several smaller queries instead of one big one, which should be more efficient, assuming MySQL is on the same server.

Set QA_ALLOW_UNINDEXED_QUERIES to false.

You could also try some of the new performance enhancements that will be added in v1.8. In qa-base.php, replace the function qa_to_override with this:

    function qa_to_override($function)
    {
        global $qa_overrides, $qa_direct;

        // handle most common case first
        if (!isset($qa_overrides[$function])) {
            return null;
        }

        if (strpos($function, '_override_')!==false) {
            qa_fatal_error('Override functions should not be calling qa_to_override()!');
        }

        if (@$qa_direct[$function]) {
            unset($qa_direct[$function]); // bypass the override just this once
            return null;
        }

        return $qa_overrides[$function];
    }

In app/users.php, replace qa_session_var_suffix with this:

        function qa_session_var_suffix()
        {
            if (qa_to_override(__FUNCTION__)) { $args=func_get_args(); return qa_call_override(__FUNCTION__, $args); }

            global $qa_session_suffix;

            if (!$qa_session_suffix) {
                $prefix=defined('QA_MYSQL_USERS_PREFIX') ? QA_MYSQL_USERS_PREFIX : QA_MYSQL_TABLE_PREFIX;
                $qa_session_suffix = md5(QA_FINAL_MYSQL_HOSTNAME.'/'.QA_FINAL_MYSQL_USERNAME.'/'.QA_FINAL_MYSQL_PASSWORD.'/'.QA_FINAL_MYSQL_DATABASE.'/'.$prefix);
            }

            return $qa_session_suffix;
        }

Those are the two biggest performance increases.

Thank you for answer, Scott.

I have a VPS L in Contabo: https://contabo.com/?show=vps

The company told me that the CPU usage is too high.
At the beginning my website was not slow and I had the same plugins.

Plugins:
Q2A Badges
On site notifications
Breadcrumbs
Social Share
Widget Anywhere Plugin
Featured Questions
Follow Users Widget
My Follower Page
My Followers Widget
Category Followers Widget
Question Followers Widget
Edit History
FAQ Page
by
Try removing each plugin in turn to see if your site speeds up.

You could also turn on the debug mode temporarily (preferably on localhost, not the live site) and see if any of the queries for the pages are notably slow.

Also do you have a lot of blocked IPs? That will slow down Q2A 1.7 in some cases (but has been fixed for 1.8).
by
I do not have IPs block.

I removed:
Q2A Badges
Q2A Breadcrumbs
Q2A Social Share

For now, the site is with good speed.
If there is news, I will comment again.

Thanks, Scott!
by
Scott, the problem keeps happening.
I uninstalled and tested the site without the plugins that I use. And the speed remains the same.
The site is unavailable and I need to restart my VPS for him to return.
You can help?

I updated my answer with some more things to try.

How many visitors/pageviews are you getting per day?
by
Thank you, Scott.  I'll try to make the changes.
Before the slowness problems began, I had 60,000 pageviews per day. Now my site has fewer than 20,000 pageviews per day and nearly 50,000 unique visitors per month.
by
Scott, you received my message?
I made a proposal for you.
by
Ok I confirm these patches work great...
I used to open 5 question to edit as admin that slows down my site extremely, I just tested with 20 question edit at same time as admin, did not do anything... I will keep testing tomorrow when the site is under heavy load...
