High Time-to-First-Byte with OJS 3.4.0

Software Support
#1

Hi,

I installed OJS from GitHub main branch today. Unfortunately, the TTFB is quite high (~6s). I’ve one journal with 200 articles indexed.

Some details of my configuration are given below. I would appreciate any advice on where to start debugging.

Thanks.

Hi @akastrin,

OJS 3.4.0 isn’t released yet, and we have some major commits to merge before it’s ready – in the meantime it’s unsupported and unstable; I would recommend working with the stable-3_3_0 branch on Github or the released .tar.gz packages!

However, if you’re still wanting to work with OJS main for development reasons:

  • Is this just for the first hit to the page during e.g. installation? If so, there are some new compilation/caching processes that could be making this slow.
  • Can you double-check that the cache directory is writable by OJS?
