El foro Discourse se cuelga y se agota el tiempo de espera, no carga

Recientemente, nuestro foro de Discourse ha comenzado a agotar el tiempo de espera en la mayoría de las solicitudes: https://caddy.community

No se realizaron actualizaciones ni cambios cuando esto comenzó a ocurrir hace unos días. A veces carga correctamente, pero unos minutos después tarda minutos en cargar. (Por lo tanto, si el enlace anterior carga rápido para ti, inténtalo de nuevo unos minutos después. También puedes probar con curl.)

Estamos alojados en DigitalOcean.

Los recursos de la máquina no están completos: hay abundante CPU, RAM, disco y E/S de red disponibles.

No hay errores en los registros ni procesos desconocidos ejecutándose en la máquina. Ha estado funcionando correctamente durante unos 3 años, pero ahora no carga.

¿Alguien sabe cómo hacer que el foro funcione más rápido? Reiniciamos la máquina y el foro sigue funcionando lentamente.

Hey @mholt :wave:,

I did try going back and forth between /latest and /categories and it’s pretty fast.

Are you seeing slowdown in specific routes of the app?

Also, do you have the MiniProfiler enabled?

Please follow this to enable it:Long loading times for user summary page with slow database

After enabling it, when you hit a slow down you will know exactly where it is.

Huh… dang, it is loading faster today. :thinking: (Others in our community have also experienced it, I know it’s not just me, haha – but it can be intermittent, it seems.)

I’ll try that out when I have a chance, thanks!

Hmm, it seems my ssh connections also time out sometimes.

I wonder if DigitalOcean is having network issues (they haven’t reported anything, though) – maybe I will have to open a ticket with DO to find out. It might not be specific to Discourse.

This has started happening again recently: takes several minutes for the forum to load.

Ping times to the DigitalOcean droplet are nominal: ~80ms. Server load is also nominal:

The timings in the debug thing in the corner (MiniProfiler) don’t reveal any problems: all times are within ~300ms:

(This page took about 3 minutes to load.)

Is there any part of the loading process between reaching the server and rendering the page that are not counted by the MiniProfiler?

Time spent on Redis isn’t counted and can cause what you see. You will have to dig into the server and check if Redis is having trouble to persist changes to disk.

Interesting, any tips on how to do that? Or link to a relevant guide? This is outside my pay grade :sweat_smile:

Oh let me correct myself a bit here. The time spent on redis won’t be on the broken down part of mini profiler, but be counted in the overall time in the first column. So looking at your screenshot, this doesn’t appear to be the case.

Does Caddy logs time waiting on the backend and overall time spent on each request? Is there a possibility that the reverse proxy was waiting?

I will add this to the logs and try to find out next time it happens.

This could be time it is taking it to grab static assets ? Maybe have a look in chrome dev tools next time this happens?

Thanks for the idea Sam. I have looked at the network inspector before and I do not believe I remember anything too telling – but I’ll check it in more detail next time.

This tends to happen every few days or so, I’ll report back when it does!
