Hi Guys,
I'm currently the only person able to access the server where my website is being built. What I have found is that when I view the website it is running slow. It takes about 3 - 5 seconds to load any page and the content is minimal.
The server itself matches the specs as per the matrix site. When I ping the server I am getting bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=254
Im also running Matrix 3.16.4
In what way can I speed up the process of viewing my website?
Have you tuned PostgreSQL? If you are using the stock installation configuration, it will be very inefficient (though, quite stable). Our sysadmins have a lot of experience in tuning PostgreSQL for Matrix, so you might want to open a support request and get a sysadmin to evaluate your environment. This could also highlight any other areas that may require tuning for performance.
Also, if your site is still Under Construction, keep in mind that Matrix is doing lots of status/permission checking for every element of the page. You might want to make your designs and site Live with Public Read permission to see what the performance is like once that permission checking is reduced. You should also enable the Cache Manager so that Matrix can start caching content for performance.
More RAM!!!
