Performance for Large Sites (My Little Performance Test)
24 May 2012 at 9:25am Last edited: 24 May 2012 9:26am
Hi there. I am using SS since two years and most of the sites I made with it are less than 100 pages per site.
Currently I am facing a larger site starting with ~1,000 pages and perhaps growing up to 3K or more. I read a lot of the other postings about large sites here. Many are helpful but the majority is for old versions of SS.
Thus I tested SS on my local machine with 3,000 pages each filled with 500 characters for the content (that's roughly what the text content will be). SiteTree looks like this:
Home
About
Sub1
-Sub1.1 (holds 100 pages)
-Sub1.2 (holds 100 pages)
-Sub1.3 (holds 150 pages)
-Sub1.4 (holds 150 pages)
-Sub1.5 (holds 150 pages)
-Sub1.6 (holds 150 pages)
-Sub1.7 (holds 150 pages)
-Sub1.8 (holds 150 pages)
-Sub1.9 (holds 150 pages)
-Sub1.10 (holds 200 pages)
-Sub1.11 (holds 200 pages)
-Sub1.12 (holds 200 pages)
-Sub1.13 (holds 200 pages)
-Sub1.14 (holds 200 pages)
-Sub1.15 (holds 200 pages)
-Sub1.16 (holds 200 pages)
-Sub1.17 (holds 200 pages)

ContactLoading the back-end (Pages) will take about 9 seconds. Opening subfolders takes about 6 seconds. Pretty fast, in my opinion.
My question now …
1. What about if there are more fields for the pages (about 15 fields for images, simple checkboxes and other HTML text)? Does it make loading back-end slower, or will SS load the content not until I click on a specific page?
2. What do I need to consider as well? I am fairly new to sites in this scale.
3. Should I think of building a module instead of pages (the site is more like a catalogue)?
4. Is there anything I can push the performance to be better?Hope some of you can help and give me some answers or hints.
Thanks!

Hi suntrop,
nice work!
1. What about if there are more fields for the pages (about 15 fields for images, simple checkboxes and other
HTML text)? Does it make loading back-end slower, or will SS load the content not until I click on a specific page?give it a go, I'd love to see more performance stats!
2. What do I need to consider as well? I am fairly new to sites in this scale.
I'd look into http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/dataobjects-as-pages-part-1-keeping-it-simple/
3. Should I think of building a module instead of pages (the site is more like a catalogue)?
Could look into using something like silvercart and then removing the ecommerce part (e.g. buy now button)
4. Is there anything I can push the performance to be better?
better server?

Hi,
interesting topic!
4. Is there anything I can push the performance to be better?
Did you install X-Cache like recommended on http://doc.silverstripe.org/sapphire/en/installation/server-requirements?
If not yet it would be great t know in the difference for your test before and after.
Same question for Mysql Cache http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html? Is this one recmommended by SilverStripe, btw.?Regards

Thanks for your comments and links. I'll try to expand the pagetype to more fields this weekend and see what happens.
Since I am using a managed server with PHP as CGI, x-cache isn't making it faster. But I noticed there is FastCGI as an option. Again I'll try that this weekend.
Some weeks ago we launched a website for stock ratings. We are managing the stocks (45 DB fields) within a module and tested it with over 50,000 stocks. No performance issues at all – neither in front-end nor in the back-end -

Hope anybody is interested
- Added 18 text fields
- Added 15 checkboxes
- Added 1 HTMLText field
- Added 6,000 versions (SiteTree_Versions)
- Added 1,100 links (dependent pages) from subpages to the homepage
- Added another 1,000 pagesWithout any caching it loads quite fast.
"Pages" section: ~ 6-8 seconds
Search for files (5 results): < 5 seconds
Search for files (100 results): < 7 seconds
Opening nested files: < 5 secondsOn my local machine PHP doesn't run in CGI mode. I hope I can try this the next days on my webserver. And I'll try to cache pages as well.

Awesome information... it seems a little slow for today market... if you have 3 levels of pages and you needs to get to a specfic page and then save & publish. Have you tried http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2012/dataobject-as-pages-the-module/ ?
I suspect that this will allow much better management of pages via searching and quicker to save & publish.

Save and Save & Publish is as fast as I know within sites up to 50 pages.
swaiba, your link is on my "read later" panel
