front page pages not responding

[Frank Vèssia]

Hello guys, I'm facing a very strange issue.
Out of nowhere my website is not responding fast as always and I didn't change anything.

The issue is probably pw related because I checked everything else.

- the server is running (on bitnami)

- other static pages inside the root folder (not managed by pw) are accessible and rendering fast
- I don't get eny errors inside logs files
- Database is ok
- I didn't make any modification to the PW or templates in the last month

right now my pages are loading in about 1 minute (just the pages managed by PW)
any idea of what to check? thanks

Please tell us some information about your PW install?  Is there any type of caching/CDN being used? Thanks.

Hi, there is no CDN enabled or caching. The only thing I disabled while checking the problem was the mod_pagespeed which was enaled by default on bitnami server, but nothing changed.
I'm running the latest 2.6.1

Are you using File or DB sessions?

Just so we don't keep going back and forth, you need to run some type of pagespeed test to see where the bottleneck is occurring.  Here are one of a few online sites that can do that for you:

 

https://www.iispeed.com/pagespeed/test

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/

https://varvy.com/pagespeed/

Some have a YSlow or Waterfall tabs that will show you where things are dragging.  That is where you want to put your resources towards decreasing the page load.  

 

Additionally, using some type of caching will help the response time.  ProcessWire has a myriad of caching solutions, to include the paid ProCache option.

I've already used online page speed test but they got on timeout...
