Spawning multiple connections to port 80 when accessing from the ip

I have a Rails app which is hosted in a shared server. In the last few days I have been experiencing a slowness in the site.

When I contacted the hosting support, they said it seems that each time when we access the domain it's spawning 20 connections to port 80

What are the possibilities of being such thing:

  1. could it be a network setup issue
  2. could it be a rails config issue

My site runs on

Rails 3.2.9
Passenger

Solution

  • It sounds like a programming error in the client, unless your server creates self-connections, in which case the server end needs attention.
