Hi Fellow Moodlers,
I recently upgraded from 2.6 to 2.8.7. After, I have reports from a six users that the front page takes 40 to 50 seconds to load. I have verified this using Log in as for one of the affected people. For everyone else, performance is great. Course pages are fast for everyone. I don't see anything different about the affected accounts. All are using manual authentication. I am hoping someone can steer me to a solution.
So far, I have:
- Removed all blocks from the home page. This made no difference.
- Switched to the Clean theme. No difference.
- Checked Apache error logs - Nothing there about the slow user.
When I turn show performance info at the bottom of the page, a slow front page account shows a 43 second load time and 42 second DB query time. An test account show the front page loading in 1.2 seconds with .5231 seconds DB query.
The fall semester begins in a little over two weeks. I am hoping to have it solved by then.
