One metric, the original cause of the slowdown a month ago, remains a mystery for now. But we have made significant improvements to bring other metrics and the overall site speed back up.

For those of you who submitted examples, please re-test those examples and add comment with the results.

If there are specific areas (e.g. My Activities, large rosters) that are hopefully improved but continue to be slow, we will investigate some specific optimizations.

The issue with the “Difficultly” select not loading its list when adding an activity is fixed. Please add a comment if not.

Thanks!

Thanks for the examples!

We’re working on some improvements and will let you know when they are all live and ready to be reviewed.

The issue with the “Difficultly” select not loading its list when adding an activity is fixed. Please add a comment if not.

Thanks for the comments. We do track server metrics and plan every 2-3 years to do an SEO review of our website.

The server metrics show two small bumps up in server response time, one when we updated our website from Plone 4 to Plone 5 in May 2020 and the other about a month ago after a issue with our website host.

An SEO review can identify place we can optimize our website’s performance. We did and SEO review a few years ago and implement all of the high priority recommendations and most of the others. Given our recently strapped resources, it will likely be 2-3 years before we can do another.

But we do know that there is some optimization we can do to specific places on our website if we knew here they are and have metrics to determine if we have improved. This is where you can help. When you find a place on the website that is particular slow, ad a comment to this feedback idea with (1) a link to the page and (2a) how long it took to load that page (use the stopwatch on your computer or mobile device) and/or (2b) what you dis on a page and how long it took to complete (e.g. edit a roster record, run a bulk process, etc.)

Thanks!
