Slow loading Dashboard

Post by efficiondave » Wed Jun 04, 2014 6:52 am

For one of my AbleCommerce sites (running 7.0.7), the admin Dashboard is loading really slow on occasion. I was hoping moving to a new faster server would resolve the issue but I did the move yesterday and just now it took 42 seconds for it to load. We see similar slow times more often than we should. I did see several instances of a Deadlock error that seem to relate to the slow load times. The error from the app.log is below. I don't believe I'm seeing anything like this on other AbleCommerce sites we host on the same servers. The one difference on this site is it is an application within a DNN site. But there doesn't seem to be any load time issues with any other pages.

Any idea what might be causing this?

We had this exact same issue. My company was using Firefox to do all of our Able admin duties and just recently changed to Google Chrome and everyone (on macs and pc's) saw a dramatic increase in speed. Try that out.

I looked into this a bit further and the error that is being thrown comes from SQL Server and is likely due to a long running query that needs to have an Index added to speed it up and prevent the deadlock. It makes sense that the server move didn't have an impact as we only moved the site files and not the database.

This post is older, but I think it will still work if you want to profile the database and see if adding any indexes can improve performance.

I had seen the problem on a site with many, many orders, customers, page views so I took some of the reporting widgets off the admin dashboard and page loads fine now. There was just a large amount of data to churn through. In Gold the reports are in a tab on the dashboard and they don't load until you click the tab.
