our website was so slow we migrated it to a server our website with 4 core CPUs, 8GB Ram, and 8GB of swap memory our website still so slow. i can’t find a way to optimize my site

[image] pfaffman: You should either run discourse-setup again or read the comments in app.yml to adjust the memory configuration. i already have run discourse-setup that didn’t make any difference in speed [image] pfaffman: Is your database very big? yes we have more than 27000 topics…

In my experience, Topic List Previews (Plugin) slow down discourse significantly. You may try switch to Topic List Previews (TC), it load much faster than Plugin. If you disable the Topic List Previews completely, Discourse will speed up several times. :grinning:

[image] lhkjacky: If you disable the Topic List Previews completely, Discourse will speed up several times. We are using a custom plugin to allow topics to still show the cdn images shared on topics , in meta OG if we share them on social media. That cdn support plugin is developed by @fzngag…

Well, the number of topics isn’t the number of posts or the size of the database, but that isn’t so big. The site is down now, so I can’t see the number of posts. I recommend that you edit app.yml by hand and look at the tuning information there and rebuild. There are several topics that discuss w…

Hey, @ahmed_khan1 Don’t risk any downtime, even few minutes down will cost you precious reputation in Google eyes. Just pay someone professional to handle this for you, once and forever. As I can see your site got a sizeable traffic, so follow the sanity and never go for cheap. I recommend someone…

[image] ahmed_khan1: yes we have more than 27000 topics on our site I’m running a 20,000 Topic site on a 2 Core, 2GB machine with no issues (but may not be as active as yours …) But yeah, if it’s an issue with running a lot of javascript, then the back end performance is irrelevant. Have yo…

we have a new digitalocean droplet. just purchase it on 1 here’s app.yml ## this is the all-in-one, standalone Discourse Docker container template ## ## After making changes to this file, you MUST rebuild ## /var/discourse/launcher rebuild app ## ## BE *VERY* CAREFUL WHEN EDITING! ## YAML FI…

[image] Faizan_Zahid: what changes can we do in app.yaml file? we r on 4 Vcpu, 8GB digital ocean droplet. I think you’re running multiple sites on this single instance. Not sure how that would affect the performance issues.

[image] fzngagan: I think you’re running multiple sites on this single instance we are running only this site on this server.

You might bump db_work_mem to 100. You might have issues with your reverse proxy that is slowing things down. What does the mini profiler show? You can also install the prometheus plugin to get some more data.

My discourse speed is very slow
