CMSMS too slow compare to other CMS?

[zspectrum]

Hello everybody,

I have been making website with the CMSMS for more than 2 years now, I realized around 20 websites with this platform and I am quite satisfied.
Each time I had a problem I found someone on the forum who got the same problem and solved it.

I particularly appreciate it for two points :
- Very easy to integrate a layout in html/css (compare to joomla or drupal)
- If you don't find a module according to your needs you can easily create some php/mysql functions in the user define tags

But I have the feeling that it is pretty slow compare to others solution or some application that I developed in php/mysql directly.

I am going to signed with a big company for a website to present their products. I am a little bit afraid to use the CMSMS since I realized it is quite slow.
What do you think about it? Any advice?

define "pretty slow".  If you have been happy with this system for 2+ years and 20 sites, what now makes you think it's slow?

Certainly compared to a static HTML site it may seem slow, but that is the nature of a dynamic db-driven site.  And I would doubt that your PHP/MySQL applications are probably as complex as CMSms (perhaps they are, but I'm just guessing).  So along with more features I expect to see a little sacrifice in speed.  With that said, I'm quite happy with the speed of CMSms.

So again, what exactly are you using to determine that CMSms is "slow"?

Hin Quentin,

Any advice?

Some times ago @Kermit provide a solution for real speed increases (file based caching)

Have modified current index.php and it works for me - get the download here

In combination with EventManager for cleaning cache if some work on website is done its a great solution.
