CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I've been reading of folks having experiences with load times of Contribute and Event info pages. I don't experience nor know why those basic pages would be slow, ie, large images, too much text, etc.?

What I am experiencing and have always experienced with CiviCRM is the moderate to slow processing after the form has been filled out. I've not seen much on tuning the server to help make this work faster. That is what i am after today.

On a recent install of a fairly basic system on a very low traffic/load server with 512MB RAM, it's taking up to 4 minutes for just one form entry with no other traffic and about 30% RAM available.

The setup is Chunkhost cloud VM w/ 512MB RAM available, Debian 6, Apache 2.2.6, Mysql 5.1.49, PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze3 using Joomla 1.7 (recent update from 1.6) and CiviCRM 4.0.4. No additional extensions installed. This install was setup as for standalone CiviCRM use linked to another site.

Time to log in and navigate around is zippy. Site frontend is zippy. It's just the processing time that is utterly slow. I

I'm concerned because this will go live this week for a well attended conference and I don't think it will be able to manage more than a few registrations at a time.

Any thoughts?

if its taking so long, i would guess there is some network calls being made which are timing out. I would probbaly focus on that and see whats happening
