May 12, 20188 yr Author I guess it's me then, it's mostly when clicking or going back to the unread post list.
May 12, 20188 yr Going back sometimes fails for me - but that has happened for a long time. So I have to go back one step extra before the AJAX code switches content. Then I have to click on the specific forum again.
May 18, 20188 yr Yea, as this forum starts to grow, it gets slower, @limetech could try to install and use google pagespeed and or a reverse proxy for static content, if they didnt have already. Easiest would be cloudflare, which also cache some things. (and free CDN) Now its not that bad, but it will get worser and worser. https://www.webpagetest.org/result/180518_Z1_c40091767dbc768f66ccb3bbcfb7ed52/ Its probably because of that "bad" first time byte, could be speed up by CDN, i guess.

I setup AWS CloudFront as a CDN for the forums now. overall site is clocking in about a second quicker for a complete document render but still didn't help the First Byte Time: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/180518_TN_27a109b178139a25d43d66feb8e25298/

CloudFlare looks great and we'll probably integrate it in about 2 months along with some other major infrastructure changes here. I see the webpagetest was performed from France and CloudFlare will accelerate the First Byte Time greatly for countries outside the U.S.

I see the webpagetest was performed from France and CloudFlare will accelerate the First Byte Time greatly for countries outside the U.S. The linked download diagrams seems quite slow. When forcing a full reload in Chrome I get the first data after about 400ms and the forum is fully loaded after about 2.8 seconds. Similar times when testing with IE. This is to Sweden. The linked data above shows about 1 MB loaded. When doing a clear load in IE, it's about 2.3 MB that gets downloaded so my download is definitely not skipping lots of data as cached. I wonder if the SSL negotiation times are the reason for the big differences in download times.
May 19, 20188 yr Seems like 60% is image traffic, so maybe google pagespeed could help with all those pictures and css files. Makes it also easier for Cloudflare to cache all the things. In case you use Apache. Edited May 19, 20188 yr by nuhll
May 19, 20188 yr I think it would be way more interesting to check why the limes servers results in 1000+ ms ssh negotiation times while the other servers manages about 100 ms. The linked data indicates that the bulk download starts when my download has finished and the complete final page is already displayed. Not so much reason to worry about the actual image download times, if some parts of the world have to wait a large amount of time before even being able to request the image downloads.

I enabled HTTP/2 support, re-running the test with Chrome shows an improvement: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/180519_NF_16c99888789e6090eb504af99da86be1/
May 24, 20188 yr I testet the last days, feels alot faster. Do you use Apache? If so, try pagespeed, it helped my "1000 concurrent users at the same time" forum alot. Without the need of "changing" anything. Edited May 24, 20188 yr by nuhll

May 24, 20188 yr Ah nice, didn tknow that, the time i integrated it, i think it was only avaible for apache and since i anyway used apache and then nginx for static content i tried it with good success and nearly no problems.
May 24, 20188 yr Author It's still very slow for me, every time I click the browser back button to go back to the unread post list it takes 6 to 7 seconds, both at home and work, with different computers and ISPs .

I have the same issue, but it's not always 6-7 seconds to go back. And it does it if I'm on wifi or phone network.
May 24, 20188 yr It takes about 2.8 seconds to click back from this thread. Most time is to get the root html document.
May 25, 20188 yr Author Don't know if something was done but I'm seeing normal speeds again today, about 1 or 2 seconds max, similar to what was before.

About 2 hours ago I moved the whole 'search' database to a separate machine (and now using elasticsearch instead of mysql). Search is a hog both for maintenance and when it's being performed so this should help speed up normal forum operations. Also elasticsearch is suppose to return better results. About 15min ago I upgraded php from 7.0 to 7.2 on that server. Should give a little bit of a boost in performance.

Thanks, it's definitely a lot faster, also very noticeable when getting the unread post list on Tapatalk.

Thank you Mr Fix it.
May 26, 20188 yr Since i startet monitoring the speed of the forum, i can say were at nearly double speed. (or half time taking to load the pages) Good job. Now you can work on multiple server instances of unraid working together. Like application server, storage server, vm server (or multiple), with one interface Edited May 26, 20188 yr by nuhll
August 9, 20187 yr Right now, I'm seeing ridiculously slow posting. Often 7-15 seconds to submit new posts. But not slow to loading pages.
September 4, 20187 yr Author Forum has been noticeably slower for me since the update, e.g. when I go back and forth to the unread post list it always takes two beats to display the page, first just shows some parts: Then after a second or two the rest appears: This is rather annoying when reading many posts, and it happens both at home and at work, with different computers and ISPs, so believe the problem is not on my side.
