Loading front page takes forever

Post by dsteuer » Thu Oct 21, 2021 10:28 am

Hi friends,

just try to load https://steuer-geilke.de/Universaldilettant

It take multiple seconds to show the front page. Any ideas, what may cause that?
Subsequent page calls work as expected.

Have you tried another theme ?

Hm, this is odd. Only the blog overview page seems to be that slow - static pages such as "About" do not have this problem, neither do the single blog entries. If you were to put a static page as start page, I suspect the initial loading of your blog would be fast again.

Nevertheless, I do not really have an idea where this might come from. Have you tried to purge the caches and rebuild the index (Admin -> Maintain)?

(I really love the word Universaldilettant, by the way :lol: )

All the best,
Arvid

Purging the cache does not help.

Another problem, probably related: Sometimes the reading of the rss feed times out resp. is timed out by the
rss reader.

Hmm, maybe I use the workaround and use a static page as startpage. But it remains mysterious,

Detlef,

yes, I also suspect the same origin for the RSS timeout.
Did you rebuild the index as well? (And, if you do so, does this also take a few seconds? Normally, it should be done in an instant.)

All the best,
Arvid

Rebuilding the index happens in an instant, but does not help.

Sone systematic searching reveals the culprit: photoswipe needs the time to process the images. It seems all pictures are re-processed when accessingg index.php. Any idea how to speed up the process?

it is fast to directly access a page with pictures. It is slow to acces the index.php or rss.php.
Any idea?

Ping, Or any idea how I can help to debug? Loading the rss feed each time takes an eternity. May be that is a starting point?

When you deactivate the PhotoSwipe plugin, the start page is loading as fast as expected?
Which version of the Plugin are you running?
