Joomla 3.8.0 slows down all my sites

Post by David Anson » Mon Sep 25, 2017 5:11 am

Updated all 5 of my sites to Joomla 3.8.0 the other day and they have slowed right down, especially when in the back end. Pages that would load in 1-2 seconds are taking 20-30+ seconds to load. I can see from other threads that this seems to have been an update that has caused quite a number of problems. Do we have a date for a fix?

Hello David,

The issue is that there are other people with the same problem, but none has provided debug information in order to locate the heart of the problem.

An important thing to do in helping you resolve the issue is to enable the MySQL slow query log and then check your slow query log for any slow queries. This will allow you to locate the problematic query (queries).

Now some questions:

- When does this problem happen? Does it happen when you add new articles or does it happen on every page?
- How big is your #__content and your #__asset tables?
- Which Joomla version did you upgrade from?

Thanks.

I have been in touch with my hosting provider and this is not something that I have the permissions to undertake - he also expressed doubt as to the problem being a MySQL issue.
