CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,

I´ve installed CMS Made Simple on a restaurants website to make it easy for the owners to update their menus. The problem is that the CMS-pages loads extremely slow while the other pages loads fast and easy. Any ideas why? And how to solve this?

It's likely that your hosting company's database (or network to the database) has performance issues. Put your CMSms install into debug mode, look at the output, and you can see what the hangup is.

What hosting company do you use? If the answer is GoDaddy, then that's your answer.

The site is located at a swedish hosting companys server.
I´ve put it into debug mode right now... But where can I see the result? Is there a log or something like that?

It should place the debug info underneath the site.. Scroll down. It will show you each step of what it's doing, which database calls, and the time index (in seconds) of each operation.

I think I´ve found it...

Is it this:

My issues with slowness was due to mysql latency.. This doesn't seem to be your issue.. It took 4.5 seconds to be "done loading files".. The rest of the time (with all the database calls) only took 0.2 seconds, which is good.

I'm not sure what "loading files" is.. Maybe PHP includes? If so, it might be a overworked server, a slow file system, low memory, etc. Once everything was loaded, it executed rather fast.
