slow loading slow

[henri]

I am currently maintain a website created with Processwire. Very often it is extremely slow loading pages..

Sometimes even minutes to load.. How is that possible. Is processwire itself slow??

By the way: does anyone know if i have to build template files myself?? I tried one but the extra text (I created an extra field too) doesnt appear on the page..

Hi @henri,

Welcome to the forum.

1. Processwire itself is very fast. It must be some other reasons that cause the slow loading. We cannot help without further info.

2. After you add a field to the template in the backend, you have to add some PHP code to the template file. This is a good starting point to learn the basics of Processwire.

You need insight and analytics, whne you say it's slow is it as a result of time to render on the client, or do you mean time a method or function takes, you will need a profiler for both frontend and the backend to have more detailed information.
