It seems like my channels are loading really slow.

If you go to http://www.redthesteakhouse.com then go to Cleveland or Miami, you will see what I mean. What can I do to make things faster?

Hi mr_ripley,

I checked that out, and indeed that is pretty slow!

To get a clear sense of what’s going on here, I need 2 things:
1) A template debugging report Admin->System Administration-> Output and Debugging: Display Template Debugging? = Yes Don’t worry, the output will only be visible to logged in Super Admins - visit the template for Miami

2) the template code itself, to see where we might be able to make improvements.

What version of ExpressionEngine are you using?

I look forward to your reply.

Cheers,

Dan I turned on the template Debugging. Feel free to have a look.

index:

<!--  END HOME  -->
<!--  START RESTAURANTS  -->

Hi mr_ripley,

I’m sorry for the confusion!

The output of template debugging can only be seen by logged in Super Admin accounts. Regular visitors to the site won’t be able to see it.

With it turned on, visit one of the slow pages. You should see a large amount of output appended to the bottom of the page. Copy and paste the content of that output back here. You may need to make several additional posts to include it all.

Cheers,

Hi mr_ripley,

Right on! That’s it exactly.

Now, we see where the performance hit sneaks in at:
```
(2.412699 / 7.75MB)      Processing Advanced Conditionals
(5.909169 / 7.36MB)       - Processing Sub Templates (Depth: 2) -
```
That helps us narrow down the part of the template to focus on.

Will you post the template here so I can see what’s going on with your advanced conditionals? There may be a way to simplify them or a plug-in available that can reduce the load.

Cheers,
