**Website very slow **
Hello pkp team,
I installed a new server Debian 12 with php 8.1 and mariadb 10.11.3 and apache webserver
I upgraded OJS from 3.3.0.8 to 3.3.0.15 under windows 10 then moved the site to debian.
Everything is ok except loading time of journals’s home pages and article pages, also administration page, it takes some time to load.
here is my apache errors log :

The “ojs2: 404 Not Found” error mostly or always is from bots and crawlers.
You can hit F12 on your web browser and reload your homepage and you can check what is loading the most time and figure out what might be the problem.
I suggest to use shift+F5 to refresh the page, holding shift deleted every data you have saved from the web in your browser, so you can see all the requests.
Hi @jhrs
Thank you for the reply,
I already watched the loading details in the chrome developpement tool,
The only bots and crawlers are “google analytics” and “google tag manager”
but still that doesn’t explain all this slowness, and only the journal homepage and the article page are slow to load, the rest of pages like the “about the journal” page (http://revue.umc.edu.dz/index.php/h/about)
are fast …the error.log file shows a lot of (ojs 2: 404 not found)…
Thanks anyway, I will continue my monitoring to find out the problem source…
I will tell you if I find anything
