Performance: how slow is your drupal?

Performance: how slow is your drupal?

tags

In this session, we will assume a high traffic newspaper website based on Drupal which begin to have performance issues: long loading times, and even sometimes pages failing to load at all.
This session will cover:

• State assessment: how bad is the situation in production? How can I assess that? What tools can I use?
• Early emergency aid: some initial quick tips to boost performance before going to the root of the problem, which very often is in the code itself.
• Code review: Architecture optimizations helps (adding servers, ...), but this is not fixing the root of the problems. We will review some common coding mistakes, review some contrib modules which are badly optimized for performance, and give you tips on how to spot these problems on production.
