Hi,

I am using JoomSEF, and I seem to have an issue with loading the category pages. I did the speed test on Google, and the main domain loads OK,and has a 78/100 rating, which is far from too bad.

However, when I did an analysis of loading the category pages, the result is very bad. Actually, the time from the first bit loaded is not so bad (there are some specific issues, which I will solve separately), but it takes more than 30 seconds for the first byte to load.

See www.webpagetest.org/result/121121_JT_15b...fd04f3934/4/details/



Could this be a JoomSEF related issue?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi,
It depends on how many URLs are being processed by JoomSEF on the page, but 30 seconds is really quite long.
Try disabling JoomSEF and perform the speed test to see the difference. If it's that slow only with JoomSEF enabled, there's probably some problem with accessing the database or the disk cache on your server.

Hello,

I did the debugging, and that showed me, that JoomSEF is not the (main) cause. It looks like that no unnecessary queries related SEF URLs are being created.

The issue seemed to be:
- creation of duplicate "Legacy" queries. Not a JoomSEF issue, I think, so i posted the question on different forums, but no reply so far
- browse page sending a lot of unnecessary queries - I commented a lot of them out in php
- optimizing pictures

Having done all this, the TTFB is now around 3 sec., which is not too bad, considering that I am in EU and the server in the US.

So this topic can be closed - how do I change the icon in the list of topics?
