Website has become extremely slow

[tires]

I have a site with about 5000 subpages and have noticed that it now takes about 10 seconds to save a page.

What could be the reason for this and how can I speed up the site?

Hello @tires,

have you tried looking in TracyDebugger if there is an error?
Do you use hooks or special modules?

The amount of subpages should not be an issue in my experience.
Maybe there is something else going on.

Thank you very much for your advice!

I have indeed found a hook that was apparently to blame. I can't remember exactly why I added it and what it does ...

$wire->addHookAfter('Pages::saveReady', function($event) {
  $event->modules->get('SearchEngine')->indexPages();
  $page = $event->arguments(0);
  $event->wire('log')->save('Page saved', "Page ID: $page->id / Page Name: $page->name / Page Parents: $page->parents");
});

You are indexing all the site pages every time a page is saved. You should index only this page since the work for other ones was already done.

Happy to hear you found the issue. 😀

You could consider indexing the pages with a Lazy Cron or a cronjob.
