Tell me about Server & System Requirments
Hello again! My community started Yesterday!
I have 80 people now! I am waiting more and more to come!
So, please tell me what are the server requirements or some system settings
I found Fluent Community lagging and take some time to load. Chat, some posts and some actions are slow.
Any thoughts?
Mat Thanks mat, that was helpful
Ioannis Glossopoulos Yes, follow the guide shared by Mat
We are running this community with 1000s of posts and 9,000+ members with lots of data and I think my cost is less than $50/month.
What server are u using so u have lags? shared hosting?
Rosvaldas Nudas No I have Cloudways Digital Ocean
16GB RAM
- 320GB NVMe SSD
- 6TB Bandwidth
- 8-Core CPU (premium)
Ioannis Glossopoulos :DDDD and you have lags? this planet is so fcked nobody can save it. businesses are killing people and stealing money and lying unfckinglimited. ive tried all possible servers on this fcked up planet, the best is hostinger cloud, its better than aws 300 bucks last generation shit. probably because of litespeed enterprise. and im not even talking about the most expensive hostinger cloud option, the middle one. haha
Rosvaldas Nudas Yeah i have lags on the chat and some posts!
Ioannis Glossopoulos i already gave you a 2x cheaper solution, i have stuff to do myself and already answered your question so gl hf
i have like 20 websites on the middle hostinger cloud plan and believe me not a single site is lagging. and youre talking about cloudways Jesus Christ delete that shit and tell them that theyre wasting your time and money and never go back to these similar companies period
oh and digitalocean is the worst vps provider on this planet also, ive tried everything and not talking air. if you want good vps then either vultr or upcloud, not even aws. but if you dont need vps and want all in one package then hostinger cloud is the best of the best.
Make sure you have PHP OPcache enabled. That made a noticeable difference in my site.
Ioannis Glossopoulos it looks like your issue might be related to TTFB - when you have TTFB timing >2sec then try to investigate why (check different regions when testing TTFB - not only EU for proper results). Your server SPEC is a bit too Premium to have issues like that.

TTFB, or Time To First Byte, measures the duration from when a user's browser sends a request to a web server until the browser receives the first byte of the response. In simpler terms, it's the time it takes for the server to start sending data back to the user after they request a webpage. This metric is crucial for website performance and user experience, as a long TTFB can lead to slower page loading times and a frustrating browsing experience.
Here's a breakdown of what TTFB encompasses:Server Request: The time it takes for the browser to send the request to the server.Server Processing: The time the server needs to process the request and prepare the response.
Initial Data Transmission: The time it takes for the server to send the first byte of data back to the browser.Factors that can affect TTFB include:
Network Latency: The time it takes for data to travel between the browser and the server. Server Performance: The speed and efficiency of the server in handling requests. Website Traffic: High traffic can lead to longer processing times. DNS Resolution: The time it takes to translate the domain name to an IP address. Server Configuration: How the server is set up and optimized for performance.A good TTFB is generally considered to be around 200 milliseconds or less. Google also recommends a TTFB of 800ms or less. A higher TTFB can negatively impact user experience, SEO, and conversion rates.
ps. try to disable your CF WAF rules (I hope your WAF rules dont have too many lines when it comes to traffic filter ex: excluding 100 ASN line by line) and see if there are any speed changes
btw: do you run a lot of automations/cron jobs on yoor server?
