Orchard CMS Speed Issues

2
votes

I'm setting up an Orchard CMS site and noticing that it is incredibly slow. It is running on a VPS that hosts a couple of other MVC based websites which all run fine, so the server doesn't appear to be the issue.

I've read that renaming the Sample.Host.Config file to Host.Config should fix the issue. Which it seems to do for a few hours, until randomly I then get the following error and the site no longer works.

The type 'Orchard.Environment.Configuration.AzureBlobTenantManager' could not be found. It may require assembly qualification, e.g. "MyType, MyAssembly".

I've tried installing the Cache module which hasn't made any difference.

Has anyone else experienced slowness with Orchard CMS? This is a brand new installation with no extra modules and no content... I'm stumped!

Any help is much appreciated

Here are a few things you can try:

  • As you did, renaming the config file. You need to make sure you are running a prebuilt version.
  • Installing the Cache module, as you did. This is going to be bundled into Core, it is essential.
  • Installing the SysCache module to cache database calls
  • Install the Warmup Module which saves static versions of your pages to serve to the user
  • Turn off debug flag in Web.config (just in case... ^_^)
  • Use SQL Server for the speeeeeed
  • Make sure you have selected the same region for database etc.

To the specific error you are receiving, I also had that error a while back but this was due to my package not being fully built. So why yours would run for a while then break is a mystery... Did you maybe install some modules or something?

Enable the SysCache module in the "Performance" section of Modules

I would also disable the dynamic module loader, stated here towards the middle of the page: http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Orchard-module-loader-and-dynamic-compilation
