I've just started working at a place that is using Radiant for it's web site and I've noticed our general pages are usually somewhere around 150kb and take, on my system, around 800ms. FWIW, just now dslreports showed my download speed (on my client box) avg at around 5000Kb.
Since it's a small start-up I'm going to be the one to further "tune" site's performance. That being said, I'm not a sysadmin nor do I have experience in this sort of thing (disclaimer). We are using Radiant version 0.8.1 with Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server on RH4 (don't ask) and using Passenger with ruby enterprise edition: 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) Ruby Enterprise Edition 20090610. We have our own dev server but for production we're using server beach. Looking at our Radiant instance's /config/environment.rb file I noticed the following line so it looks like Radiant caching is on right? config.middleware.use ::Radiant::Cache So my questions are: What would be a checklist of things that may be degrading our site's performance? Besides generally reducing http calls and sizes, what Radiant specific stuff can I do to speed things up? Even links to relevant Radiant docs would be helpful. What would be a good time per size metric to shoot for? Thanks all! _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: [email protected] Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
