Do you have a slow query log? Post the EXPLAIN statements too.

Your ORDER BY RAND() will be slow for big tables, there are better methods, like this example. Basically you just generate a random number between 0 and MAX(PRIMARY_KEY), then do SELECT * from table WHERE PRIMARY_KEY > @that_random_number LIMIT 1.

So instead of SELECT * from dle_post ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;

Do this:

Calculate the maximum value of your primary key (auto_increment) and store this in a variable.

SELECT MAX(PRIMARY_ID_COLUMN_NAME) FROM dle_posts LIMIT 1;
Generate a random number (best in your application to avoid the database roundtrip time, although you can combine this in step 1 by replacing the MAX by FLOOR(RAND() * MAX);. But example in PHP:

$chosen = rand(0,$max);
Now get the first row with the primary key equal or bigger than this value:

SELECT * FROM dle_posts WHERE PRIMARY_ID_COLUMN_NAME > $chosen LIMIT 1

Does an index on (approve, category, date) help?

Your slow Query log shows no big problems. If you can modify the sourcecode, you can rewrite following query:

SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM dle_users where FROM_UNIXTIME(reg_date) > NOW() - INTERVAL 1 HOUR;

to a query where you don’t use the now, but have your application fill a timestamp. Now the query cache can actually cache the query.
