Slow OJS 3.3.0.22 page load

Describe the issue or problem

Hey Team, hope everyone is doing well. I’m having some issues with some slow pages loading, I tried upgrading to the latest lts version, disabling author recommendation plugin, enabling mysql slow queries and nothing popping out as important.

I’m not able to determine the root cause of the issue, but pages are taking around 10s to load in one of the magazines here.

Others are not so slow, but also takes more then 5seconds, which makes me thinking that must be some sort of data related search.

Is there anything that we can do to try to determine the root cause of this issue?

Steps I took leading up to the issue
For example:

  1. Go to ‘https://revistas.unila.edu.br/espirales’

What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.0.22

Additional information

I’m running the container version:

Hi!

You may try to install these two plugins, they should highly improve the performance of your journal:

Also, I’d recommend disabling the ”Recommend By *” plugins (there should be 2), until they are patched to have an acceptable performance.

@jonasraoni sorry, forgot to update the thread, we “found“ the issue with the statistic plugin. Recommended by was already deactivated.

Whenever we selected the option to generate the statistic log files it went unresponsive, with default logging it works but doesnt collect anything because Docker container are not generating logs in the standard access files.

We didn’t validate if it was somethig related to NFS or anything else, this work is still pending. Do we know what could be related to this?

Thank you.

Oh great. Anyway, I fully recommend using these plugins :grin:

What would be the “option to generate the “statistic log files”?! The application should generate the log files by itself, and place them at the {$files_dir}/usageStats.

Yes, whenever we mark the options on “Create log files“, the system all unreposive, we’re trying to debug this but not sure why this is happening;

I can see the files being generated accordingly, my best guess is that we’re having problems with reads;

Do you know how can we debug this?
Going to isntall the recommended plugin as well
