Slow Profile Loads with 100GB+ database

Feature
35

I’ve added the indexes I came up with previously to help with this (Slow Page Loads on User Profiles - #2 by Ghan) and that has cut the load times down quite a bit.

Query plan after adding indexes:

Here are the indexes if anyone wants to add them:

CREATE INDEX index_topic_links_on_clicks_and_created ON public.topic_links USING btree (clicks, created_at);
CREATE INDEX index_posts_on_like_count_and_created ON public.posts USING btree (like_count, created_at);
CREATE INDEX index_topic_links_on_clicks_and_created_desc ON public.topic_links USING btree (clicks DESC, created_at DESC);
CREATE INDEX index_posts_on_like_count_and_created_desc ON public.posts USING btree (like_count DESC, created_at DESC, user_id) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL AND post_number > 1 AND (post_type = ANY ('{1,2,3,4}'::integer[]));
