Slow initial load Topic is solved

[zorro128]

I am having issue with slow initial load in J4.

Once I try to open site http://www.dev.livno-online.com I have to wait for several seconds for page to load.

After that page loads fast. But, after a few minutes it happens again. First load is slow and later on everything is fast. Same thing with administrator part.

I have turned off cache since the site is in development mode.

I have no errors or notices. Template is custom made.

On the same server I have older Joomla 3. It works without any problems and it has hughe amount of traffic and articles ( 40 000 items).

Loads fine for me. Have you tried to access your website from a different device (e.g. a mobile phone) or through a different internet connection and/or browser? Try clearing your browser cache.

[zorro128]

I am using my mobile phone, tablet and of course PC. I did cache clean and did not help.

I am attaching debug info:

Thanks for that information. My previous comment was based only on the "user experience" and not on actual metrics. From the user perspective, the page load time is unnoticeable but, I agree, the detailed analysis of the metrics tells a different story. When I ran the browser "inspector" there are a lot of errors relating to things like "cross-site cookies" and "Uncaught ReferenceError" relating to "googletag" but I don't know much about these things that may help, sorry.

I have removed all non-joomla related files (AdManager, Adsense, Facebook, FundingChoices scripts ...) and there are no errors now.

I will see what happens in next few hours.

This morning I did not have any issue with slow load. Only once but it could be slow internet connection.

I am posting FPA. As far as I see there are no issues. Perhapse MardiaDB.

1) Session handler: database. Change it to PHP (none) in Global Configuration

2) Your template have scripts that resize images. This is what contribute most to the loading time.

[zorro128]

Changing session handler improved speed.

Regarding script for resizing. Same script is used on my current live site and it works fine. Although I am thinking od using cdn but I am not familiar with setting one up.

[zorro128]

Onca again I had issue with slow initial load.

Now, I have set default theme to my site just to rule out template as a possible problem.

[zorro128]

Update on initial slow load.

Issue was with the server. My hosting provider informed me that after 30 minutes of inactive site (no vistitors to site) server releases RAM.

So if you visit site in 35.minutes server needs time to allocate RAM. That is way the load was slow.

Since I am in development phase I am ok wih that. On live site I have constant traffic so this will not be an issue.
