High Performance

This group is dedicated to solutions and approaches for high traffic, high performing Drupal sites. As such, it will deal with a lot of information around the rest of a typical Drupal "stack" -- the operating system, web server, database, and PHP tweaks that combine to support the Drupal application.

This is not a support channel or a place to post bug reports.

If you think you have found a bug, use the issue queue for the appropriate project.

2-Tier Architecture Performance

Posted by Sinan Erdem on April 2, 2018 at 8:54am

A major issue about scalability with Drupal for authenticated users is the performance issue on a 2-tier architecture (database on a separate instance on the same network).

Can you please confirm or deny my assumptions here?

Even with a very fast connection between servers (AWS same Availability Zone), there is a small round-trip time between servers (around 0.5ms)
Typical Drupal page takes hundreds of queries to generate (cache disabled).
Latency for each query is added up in the page generation time.

Post-execution too slow

Posted by linitrex on March 30, 2018 at 8:58pm

I have a D7 site with 3 800 000 nodes. Did a small module to optimize the DB queries which solved my DB performance issues. Now I face another challenge which is Post-execution time too big. I turned off all modules and there are no errors reported in the log. The case is that I have a block view with several attachments to it. The first attachment takes too long during Post-execution phase. It has nothing to do with the attachment itself. If I rearrange the attachments the new attachment happened to be first has the same issue while the attachment that used to be first works fine.

Navigation menu appears unformatted briefly before page load

Posted by Agiss on December 31, 2017 at 4:19pm

Hi all, I am using the MMenu library for both the Navigation and User menus. I've noticed that sometimes, depending on connection speed and browser, the Navigation Menu appears unformatted briefly before the page load. I am not using the MMenu module instead have embedded it directly in my theme. Has anyone experienced this before?

Please see attached screenshots, you can also view this live at www.swapific.co.uk

Most sites when using the current 7.x-2.32+ version of AdvAgg can achieve a perfect 100/100 score on https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/. Directions on how to achieve it for a fresh of install of AdvAgg below.

AdvAgg Configuration

Be sure to check the site after every section to make sure the change didn't
mess up your site. The changes under AdvAgg Modifier are usually the most
problematic but they offer the biggest improvements.

module Performance Monitor

Posted by dr.admin on June 5, 2017 at 2:11pm

Hi!

I've promoted my new module Performance Monitor - https://www.drupal.org/project/perfmon

It has some features:
- Evaluate "Performance score" indicator using web server processing time testing with a small php script.
- System performance testing:
- CPU performance test;
- database performance test;
- file operations performance test;
- MySQL status and fine tuning recommendations.

Perhaps it will be useful to someone.

i'll be glad to see your comments and suggestions.

P.S. help me to review this module https://www.drupal.org/node/2882251

Boost + Boost Mobile + IIS

Posted by alvarozugalu on May 10, 2017 at 4:17pm

Hi there,

My company needs some help creating the web.config file to make it work with boost and boost mobile ( https://www.drupal.org/project/boost_mobile ).

Both modules worked great while the server was Apache, but out client decided to move it to one with IIS.

If anybody has any template for this that worked on the past it'd be great.

Also, we are willing to pay somebody to do this. It's a rush job, so it has to be done today (9:17am here right now).

Thanks.

Using headless drupal with Node.js

Posted by hadi farnoud on April 26, 2017 at 2:43pm

has anyone used Headless drupal with Node.js? I'm thinking of converting فروشگاه ساز to headless drupal for ease of adding content and managing our landing pages.

this way I can even manage multiple sites (i.e. our landing pages/ blogs/ etc.) from one Drupal instance whilst keeping the frontend flexible.

Determining the ideal server size to handle 4M page views per month

Posted by Agiss on April 13, 2017 at 10:19am

What would be the ideal server size in terms of CPU and memory to handle around 500K visitors per month with an average of 8 page views per visitor. This would generate 4M page views per month.

The website is a dynamic classified ads website built on Drupal 7.54, PHP 5.4.44, MySQL 5.5.42.

In addition to this the system will handle the creation of the classified ads submited by authenticated users.

An average page will have 1.6MB in size and 180 requests.

Thanks
