Hello,

Yes, you fixed after the last update the menu strange thing. Thank you.

But the page speed problem has not been fixed.

I put into a blank page only the element Menu, and the page loading speed is 3-5 seconds.

https://icechim.ro/test-page/

Query monitor gives this:

I disabled all the additional plugins and the problem still persists.

I recently updated from Brizy 2.5 to the latest version and this problem happened.

Please help.

Thank you.

  Hello Stefan,

  I checked your website speed using GT Metrix. Kindly see the performance audit report at https://gtmetrix.com/reports/icechim.ro/MaGifU5q/. The TTFB ( Time to The First Byte) is currently 2.7 seconds.

  

   

  (TTFB) is a metric that measures the time between a browser requesting a page and receiving the very first byte of information from the server. It acts as a measure of server responsiveness, with a lower TTFB indicating faster, more efficient performance. TTFB less than 800ms is considered good and TTFB above 1.8 seconds is considered poor. https://web.dev/articles/ttfb. A high TTFB often indicates that the server is overloaded or struggling to process requests efficiently. 

     

  Kindly compare this to the TTFB of another Brizy web page at https://drjohnkc.com/on-line-consultation/. Please see the GT Metrix audit report at https://gtmetrix.com/reports/drjohnkc.com/90nren14/ TTFB for this website is 92 ms.  

  

  The key reason for the poor performance of a blank page on your website is high TTFB. Reducing TTFB can be achieved by using a Content Delivery Network (CDN), utilizing server-side caching, optimizing database queries, and using fast DNS providers.

  Hello,

  Sometimes i wonder if AI support replies instead of real humans.

  I said in the post that the menu element has a problem. Without it the page loads normally. With the menu element the page load is slow.

  I really need level 2+ support, only from there the problem is actually understood.

  The database is cleaned recently and i don't have modification on the menu on the backend. The menu is a standard menu. The problem appeared after update. Even with a new Menu element, the problem still exists.

  I created another menu, and when there are few options in the menu, the page load is quick. When the tabs in the menu exceedes 20 tabs, the menu is slow, as per current situation.

  So something happens when a lot of menu items are loaded. And this problem only occured recently, because i updated from 2.4/2.5 to the latest version.

  Why with the old Brizy version the website loaded quickly?

  The slow query is update_meta_cache() in brizy-pro. (see query in the first post).

  Thank you.

  Hello Stefan,

  You are right; adding menu seems to impact the page performance negatively. Here is a comparative performance of a page with and without menu at https://gtmetrix.com/compare/N53x1wTo/xujG3XaB. We will investigate if something can be done to reduce the impact of the menu element on performance.

  "Without the menu the page loads normally. With the menu element the page load is slow". Your initial post lacked this information. Providing this info made it clearer to understand the key issue you're trying to draw attention to.
