How can i optimize php free chating code

[websemtex]

Guys somehow the company I am hosting with they suspend my hosting becouse they said something to do with the chat I am using has caused an overload on the servers. So the only way I can fix they said to optimize the coding.

Any help guys??????????????????

This is what i have php code

$params = array();
$params["title"] = "Safoni Chat";
$params["channels"] = array("Chat");
$params["height"] = "300";
$params["timeout"] = 35000; // Five Minutes of inactivity
$params["refresh_delay"] = 1000;
$params["quit_on_closedwindow"] = true;
$params["nick"] = $user_info['is_guest'] ? "Guest-" . rand(1, 1000) : $user_info['name'];
$params["isadmin"] = false; // do not use it on production servers wink
$params["serverid"] = true; // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["debug"] = false;
$params["display_pfc_logo"] = false;
$params["max_msg"] = 0;
$params["nickmeta_private"] = array('ip');
$params["displaytabclosebutton"] = false;
$params["quit_on_closedwindow"] = true;

Well, for one, turning the refresh delay up, not down, would help. The default value is 2000, you have it at 1000. Smaller means more refreshes. So increasing it would mean less refreshes, which would mean less stress on the server.

Another think you may want to consider is limiting who can be on at a given time... putting a cap to it.

What your host is really saying though isn't optimize your parameters, but optimize the code itself... the inner workings of the chat, which we unfortunately can't help with.
