Performance Improvements

[andjsch]

Bug Description

I do get insane load times in development. Especially with multisite being enabled. No addons installed.

Example site 1 with multisite (2 locales):

Example site 2 with multisite (7 locales):

Example site 3 without multisite:

To me it seems the more locales present, the worse the performance. With static caching enabled in production, it isn't a problem. But it's a huge downside for developing.

Environment

Statamic 3.0.7 Pro
Laravel 7.28.1
PHP 7.4.10
No addons installed

The file watcher is disabled on all sites btw

Can you share more information about the site? Number of collections, number of entries, etc?

And development environment.

And if the load times are as crazy if the template and layout is empty. (i.e. Is it just visiting the url that's the problem, or something within your view that is causing the load time)

[andjsch]

Size of the site (divide by 7 to get entries per locale). This is site 2 with the biggest performance problems.

Dev environment is a Macbook Pro 15 inch from 2018. Using Laravel Valet. If you want to, I can send a ZIP file with the site towards you if that's of interest.

But in general I can confirm: the bigger the view, the longer it takes to load.

[jasonvarga]

Sure, zip it up and send it to support@statamic.com

[andjsch]

Done!

I'm also experiencing a similar problem, I have 17 locales and more than 8000+ collection entries. However, I've been setting my application caching strategy to half which brings page re-loads down to ~150ms... but still difficult to develop on when you make changes and have to wait a while for the pages to reload.

[andjsch]

Caching helps indeed. But I have disabled it locally as I don't want the cache to be active in my dev environment. Hope we will be hearing back soon from the gents. It's a huge problem which will be addressed soon, hopefully.

This issue might be related as we've mentioned slow page loads before: statamic/ssg#16

[andjsch]

That would make sense!

[jasonvarga]

If you have thousands of entries, you're going to at least need to make sure the stache watcher is turned off. https://github.com/statamic/statamic/blob/master/config/statamic/stache.php#L7-L18

On my side I have the watcher turned off as we discussed previously #1723, it helps a lot but the page loads still seem to take a while as shown in this issue.

I have Andreas' site and should be looking through that today.

I am curious to know how you're using a site with 17 locales (not that there's really anything wrong with that)

[andjsch]

That sounds amazing! Ping me on Discord or over here if you need any help or further info. I'll be around the whole day.
