XF 1.4 Xenforo Performance Issues

[anmol dubey]

My board is not able to support more than 50 concurrent users (google analytics). I am on a dedicated server with below config

• Intel Xeon 4x2.0GHz
• 4GB DDR3 ECC RAM

Is there any out of the box configuration that needs to be done?

Ps - i did tried searching the forum before posting here.

How customized is your forum? (addons + styles?)

There are some performance options in the admincp you can check, under admin.php?options/list/performance

Also, have you enabled any caching ? https://xenforo.com/help/cache/

 

[anmol dubey]

@Dakis I have checked the options under performance and cache is set at file.

Forum's first page is customised - rest is native : see here www.dealschintu.com

There are 5-6 addons installed

When you're saying you have performance issues what do you mean? Your forum loads up ok for me.

it slows down at 60/70 concurrent users

I notice that you are using Arrowchat and that it is available to guests. Maybe this is having an effect, unless you are using their Push Service? You could try disabling it or making it only available to registered users to see if that improves things.

This is a bottleneck.

@teletubbi What id the best setting

It loaded slow for me. And also when it finally loaded, I received a suspicious web site warning.

Do you manage your own server ? Or just using Plesk manage by the hosting comapny?

 

[teletubbi]

This might give you some advice.

Aaahh that is worrying for me

Can you show us, your config.php?

 

[anmol dubey]

Can you show us, your config.php?

<?php

$config['db']['host'] = 'xxxx';
$config['db']['port'] = 'xxxx';
$config['db']['username'] = 'xxxx';
$config['db']['password'] = 'xxxx';
$config['db']['dbname'] = 'xxxx';

$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions']['cache_id_prefix'] = 'xx_';
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'File';


$config['superAdmins'] = '1';

 

[Robru]

Try another back-end caching method, like XCache, Memcache or ACP

 

[anmol dubey]

@Robru Thanks - Do you know which one is best out of Xcache , Memcache or ACP

 

[Robru]

I'am using Xcache for years now, it's very stable and never had errors or something like that

 

[teletubbi]

Cache is only one of your problems.
You should really look at GTmetrix.

update - one of the issue was with allocated cpu as I was somehow allocated just one cpu. Hosting provider has restored back other cpus now.
