Concern about general speed of C5
Permalink
Hi,
Can you take a look at this site:
http://www.1stsightfilms.co.uk/...
I don't know what I should be expecting from C5 speed-wise, but my only reference is Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress and static HTML sites on the same server and they all appear quite a bit faster, particularly when editing (C5 becomes really slow when in edit mode).
I'm based in the UK and am using shared hosting for the CMSs/sites I mentioned above, might that be the issue?
I've tried a number of bits of advice from here (turned on caching, am in production mode for example), but it's still slow. A couple of clients are asking what can be done as they say it's becoming frustrating - I'll recommend hosting with C5 if there's evidence it's faster - are there any sites that you guys can recommend?
Really keen to stick with C5 as it offers answers to SO many problems I've had with other CMSs out there.
Thanks,
osu

Thanks for this Franz, I appreciate your help (and patience) with this.
The response times on my pages are around 5-6s and the first time I load that page you mentioned, it took around 10-11s.
Like I say, I'm keen to get C5 sites set up on C5 hosting, so hopefully I can convince new clients as the demo was a definitely a decent speed.
A bit off-topic, but a couple of quick questions about the hosting package - do you apply updates automatically? If so, what happens if the update breaks something/there's a conflict? Can you host more than one site on one hosting package?
Thanks

yes, currently we do updates for our hosting customers. I can tell you after last weekend this is something we're rethinking to be in their control rather than ours, but we will always make sure our hosting clients are on the version they want to be, one way or another.
it is one conrete5 install per $15/month account. if you wanna point multiple domains at it, knock yourself out.

You can play with our setup, the demos are athttp://getconcrete5.com/demo
they're probably configured in the least responsive way we'd consider for a hosting situation. You can also check out some sites hosted on our other servers:

I know concrete5 can run slow, but I also know properly configured it serves me just fine, and I'm a prissy b!tch.
