Serious Performance Issues!

Ibrahim_salem is experiencing performance issues with his Discourse instance, despite optimal configurations for Nginx, Puma, and Postgres. His 8-core machine with 32GB RAM and low load (0.5) still results in random page load times of 4-5 seconds. Google Search Console marks his links as poor due to an average response time of 8 seconds, which is puzzling since his pages render quickly for real users.

Gerhard suggests switching to the official install method to potentially resolve the issue.

I started using discourse over a month from now, I used a very old engine I built my self for my content .. then decided to migrate everything to discourse and it went very smooth .. I loved it ..

Google crawlers found my website instantly and so far it indexed more than 150 thousands pages .. almost 90% of my content .. I even ranked very well on search results, yet I’m getting a suspicious low clicks .. !!!

In google search console (core web vitals) all my links were marked as poor links .. with an average response 8 seconds .. and that frustrated me a lot !! I know that the page rendered for google crawler is javascript free as I noticed, unlike the page rendered for real user .. I got 97% performance rate .. Yet, in (core web vitlas) .. they marked as poor with 8 seconds response time … I’m puzzled why !

Sometimes, when I use the system surfing pages, some pages take seconds (4-5) seconds to render and it happen randomly ..

I configured my nginx for optimal performance, I have a 8 cores machine with 32G Ram, puma is configured with 6 workers and 8,16 threads .. postgres is also configured for optimal machine limits .. and the load barely exceeds 0.5 (when using htop) .. yet randomly some pages take 4-5 seconds even more to load .. :frowning:

You might want to consider switching to the official install method.
