SOLVED Slow page loading on DigitalOcean
-
Hi there. please help me to improve the speed of forum based on DigitalOcean hosting with nginx. For now it takes from 5 to 7 sec to loading any page - in firebug it shows that all scripts load fast, and onle main url of forum show wait status near 6 sec. we use MongoDb - its size for now only 52 mb - but its horrible slow - we add indexes - but we win only 1-2 sec. maybe it can be some caching system for this engine? or I need change some setting in admin dashboard, or increase hardware of server? thanks in advise.

There's got to be something else going on. This is not normal by any means. Have you tried starting over? What guide did you use?
BTW, because of how templates are done now, your first request to any page will be slow, but subsequent requests should be fast.
-
@dread Anecdotally, I use DigitalOcean for my NodeBB instance and have zero issues. I'd agree with PitaJ and say that someone else is happening here. Is the URL being loaded something from your site? Did you add any plugins?
-
Thanks for fast answer. Yeap, first loading I understood will be quite slow - but in my case it decrease only to 1 sec for loading other pages after loading main and I can't understand why( theme persona. nodebb version 1.5.3. plugins - standart - with https://github.com/Serhey/nodebb-plugin-featured-topics-extended-with-title https://github.com/Serhey/nodebb-plugin-ns-slugify-fixed-on-edit#readme https://github.com/Schamper/nodebb-plugin-poll#readme https://github.com/iiiyx/nodebb-plugin-share-vk https://github.com/boomzillawtf/nodebb-plugin-youtube-embed#readme
-
@dread If you disable all of the additional plugins, does page load perform better? Is there a specific URL that is taking a long time?
-
Nope - no improve performance. Specific - only facebook <!-- Facebook Pixel Code --> and VK pixel code in <head> and google analytics and yandex metrics <scripts> in global footer. but by the firebug - they loads near half a second - but main page and categories load slow.
-
the ultimate questions are...
what instance are you running? 1 vcore 1GB VM? bigger? smaller?
Do you have swap? in case you don't have enough memory...
is the DB on the same server as nginx and nodebb? separate?
Which OS are you running?
If these questions were answered, please point me to it, and I will see if I can help
-
If you are using the $5 Digital Ocean server you will definitely need a swap partition.
-
As I know DB on the same server with nodebb. and asking about swap. I'll try to increase power of server - mongodb eat to much) thanks - I write here after results.
-
80$ hosting plan. Upgrade node to v6.11.1 and nodebb to v1.6.0. but MongoDb is still loading too long and waiting site in firebug decresed only by 1 sec(
-
which version of mongodb are you using?
-
If you go to the
/apiroutes... e.g.http://yoursite.tld/api/recent, is the rest still slow?Definitely seems like some mongo indices are missing though it could really be anyone's guess at this point.
You can re-create the indices by running this in MongoDB after
use-ing your NodeBB database:db.objects.createIndex({ _key: 1, score: -1 }, { background: true }); db.objects.createIndex({ _key: 1, value: -1 }, { background: true, unique: true, sparse: true }); db.objects.createIndex({ expireAt: 1 }, { expireAfterSeconds: 0, background: true }); -

Now it works like a car on f1!)

Oh.
That is a very ... unorthodox ... way of forking my plugin.

Sorry - I just start to using github. I foget to write fork. Fixed.
-
@dread Oh, it's no problem at all! I was just joking, but thanks for adding the mention!
