Very good performance indicators (100/100). How did they achieve this?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around the performance of Discourse forums, specifically the performance indicators of the talk.macpowerusers.com forum, which achieved a score of 100/100. volanar asked how this was achieved, while Canapin shared their own results, suggesting that a properly scaled server contributes to good performance.
Jagster shared their experience, stating that while the performance is acceptable, it’s not always “blazing fast.” They emphasized that achieving good results in real-world scenarios is more challenging than in lab tests.
The conversation then shifted to the technical aspects of Discourse, with volanar inquiring about the Ruby version used in the official Docker build. merefield pointed to the source code, which reveals the use of Ruby 3.1. However, volanar noted that Ruby 3.1 is not yet supported.
Got 96/100 on unicyclist.com and 99/100 on vw-camper.fr.
Seems normal if your server is properly scaled to your community content and activity.

For me it was ok, but real life meters wasn’t exacly as good as lab test.
Please, don’t get me wrong. It works and Google doesn’t punish. But any of Discourses isn’t blazing fast. Forums are fast enough — not totally same thing.
And if a site has content and some functionality, achieving good results from real world is a bit harder job. Again: good results is an idea that has little common with experience of an user.
