Fastest XenForo site I've seen, how are they so fast?

The speed of the forum isn't related to the forum itself, but more on the server setup where it is residing imo.

Agree, I use the same software obviously but I'm wondering what the config could be that is so fast. I just want to learn how to improve my sites to make them as fast as possible.

Network speed of 2-5 gbps, nvme disk, good processor, redis and proper caching setup. That is all one need to make site blazing fast with proper server setup.
 
In principle, the server itself matters, but the secret is in the simplest and cleanest design possible, like the default one on XenForo. Apart from that, it matters whether there are and how many add-ons are installed in the forum system. Plus, it matters whether there is an advertising code in the forum, like the one from Adsense for example. And so on..... small at first glance but important things. :cool:
 
Simplest (but not necessarily the cheapest) thing you can do to improve performance is to ensure you have sufficient RAM available to keep the entire database in memory via InnoDB caching via innodb_buffer_pool_size and innodb_buffer_pool_instances in your MySQL settings.

Obviously if you have a very large database this might not be feasible - but it really does make a huge difference in performance.
 
xenforo is a pretty fast piece of software if configured correctly, on a slightly above average cpu, and not loaded up with tons of plugins.
Our site is pretty quick but there was no real magic to get it going that fast.
