I have tried multiple things to speed up ee4 on the from and back end. increased memory allocation, set up no-cache rules, updated all plugins, turned off all plugins…
What’s next to speed this up?

Hi,

You could check with your web host to see if they recommend using the W3 Total Cache plugin. They may have a caching plugin that works best with their platform.

Also, if your web server hasn’t been updated to PHP 7 (still on 5.x) then getting the server updated to PHP 7 will improve the speed.

Finally, if your site’ hosting is on a shared hosting package, it will be faster on a VPS.

Thanks for confirming that your host recommends W3 total cache, that you’re on a shared package that has PHP 7.2.

May I ask, how is it that you’ve determined that EE4 takes 20 seconds to load front or back? Is there a specific page URL you can link to that shows an example of a slow loading page?

I checked, and that page didn’t take 20 seconds to load. The initial page load was about 4 seconds, then after the individual scripts loaded, the AJAX call to load events (2 seconds)

One thing that will help is get onto a VPS, they can be much faster than a shared host.
