We run several sites on EngineHosting’s basic tier of hosting. Both of our EE1.6 sites run at a good clip both on the front end and in the control panel. Our latest site running on 2.1 however runs incredibly slow in the control panel. I have tested with and without addons installed, it’s been pretty much the same since the initial install.

Is there a cache settings I need to set somewhere for better optimization with EngineHosting?

I too would be interested in anyone else’s experiences.  My CP is very slow as well - but I am on a government system 😊

Steve,

While not doing direct benchmark comparisons, my installs on EngineHosting are pretty snappy.  Are you sending HTTP headers in EE?  .htaccess in the mix?  What country are you in?  Do you have differences in load time depending on ISP?

mine is very slow as well running on enginehosting. just using mod rewrite on .htaccess. not sure about http headers. not sure what i’d even know where to check. i’m in the usa.

@running with scissors: Do you have other sites on the same hosting account that are loading “fast” 

Most importantly, can you define “slow?”  Slower than EE 1.6.x or I can go get a cup of coffee, come back & still wait kind of slow.

i’ll click just about any link in the cp and it will take a minimum of 5 - 8 seconds for it to go to that section/entry/what-have-you. with mod rewrite in the .htaccess file it was 5 - 10 seconds longer ( just removed it to see). i never experienced this kind of speed issues with either ee 1.x or enginehosting for that matter. i will say, however, that this is my first ee 2 site build.

hrm, so 5-8 seconds to even begin loading the page?  Can you flip on your output profiler (http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/cp/admin/system_admin/output_and_debugging_preferences.html), copy that on a ‘slow’ page load into a text file, zip it and post here?

here you go…

Got the attachment and removed it from your post to keep your config info private.  I’m going to drop you an email with some more details.  Thanks

thanks greg.

Couple things.

a.)  You’re a build behind, so you definitely want to be up to date.
b.)  DB Caching was on by default here.  This really isn’t needed on EngineHosting, so I turned it off.
c.)  The NSM Addon Updater seems to be requesting to see if things are up to date on every page load.  So really no wonder your control panel is so slow.  I’d recommend filing a bug report with Leevi, as after disabling that Accessory for Super Admins on your site, the CP is pretty snappy.

I hope that helps,

wow. now that’s service with a smile. thanks greg.

Steve,

Does Greg’s advice help with your install?

I can confirm that disabling NSM Addon Updater solved a lot of my performance issues on the latest build (20100810).

It seems like it might be a bit early for a lot of these addons, and it might be advisable to run EE2 as cleanly and basically as possible until some of these devs get their code more refined. Almost every hiccup I’ve run into using EE2 has been the result of a third party addon. :|

Good advice.

running with scissors, are you all set?

Steve, did you let Leevi know?
