Initially Load Time Really Slow - Need Help
Permalink
Hey guys,
I just moved my website over to a new website but now I'm experiencing really slow load times for the initial visit to the website. I talked to my hosting provider and they said its nothing on there end that is causing this and I should look into other areas of the website that might be causing this issue.

I'm seeing a lot of PHP code erros in the log... Do you think that could be slowing down the website..
Example:
[05-Oct-2014 19:00:36 America/Chicago] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /mnt/stor12-wc1-ord1/891121/www.cryopak.com/web/content/concrete/core/controllers/blocks/autonav.php on line 650

When that happens in the autonav, there is a possibility the load speed and errors come from too many pages being pulled into the nav. You can try reducing the number of levels of pages being pulled into the nav.
Dont be tempted to just use attributes like exclude from nav because they could make the problem worse. Autonavs work by setting up a list of all pages down to a specified level in the controller, then filtering that list by attributes in the view. So by the time any attribute filtering begins the problem has already been created.
You can also clean up by deleting old page versions (a job in the dashboard), or by using the Extreme Clean job (make a backup first). That will also take some of the load off navigation and page lists because there will be less versions to filter out in the database query.
In fact, try the cleanup first, then start reducing nav levels.

I notice that your site is running on C5.6.0.2.
The latest release of C5.6 usually offers vastly improved performance over your current version.
This would be the first thing to try.
