Anybody else experience major slowdowns when switching to ColdBox? I sunk a lot of time converting most of my site the past few weeks but my server requests are taking at minimum 10x longer to resolve than before. I went ahead and got a FusionReactor license to do some profiling and can definitely see that a lot more is going on with ColdBox than vanilla CFML. See comments for some profiling screenshots. Both running on the latest Lucee Docker container

Anybody notice anything out of the ordinary here? This is out of my wheelhouse but working on building an understanding of this whole profiling system

My handler on this page is quite simple. But every page is experiencing the inflated load times, so don't think this is anything specific to this template/handler.

Two seconds for a largely empty Coldbox event is definitely not right

Are you reinitializing the framework on every request? Sometimes this is a setting that gets turned on for development

sknowlton

I think it's

wirebox.singletonreload

or something like that

I can't seem to find that setting anywhere. My

Coldbox.cfc

wasn't changed too much, here it is:

Here's the wirebox settings:

which version of Lucee and Coldbox?

sknowlton

04/26/2023, 5:54 PM

nothing there jumps out

Jason Ryan

04/26/2023, 5:56 PM

Lucee 5.3 and it looks like ColdBox 6.24

sknowlton

I'd update to the current production release of Coldbox which is 6.7 or 6.8 just to eliminate that as a culprit

Jason Ryan

04/26/2023, 5:59 PM

Ah I was looking in the wrong spot, I am on

6.8.1+5

but good call to check that

set

handlersIndexAutoReload

to false. That is causing the handler to be reloaded on every request. Handy for development but not production.

I think that's the bottleneck

sknowlton

04/26/2023, 6:01 PM

oh wow, yeah, can't believe I missed that one

sknowlton

04/26/2023, 6:01 PM

2 seconds is still a lot to load an empty handler

sknowlton

04/26/2023, 6:01 PM

but if you have a lot of them

aliaspooryorik

04/26/2023, 6:02 PM

Yeah.

aliaspooryorik

04/26/2023, 6:02 PM

These are the Coldbox defaults:

04/26/2023, 6:02 PM

Copy code

"handlersIndexAutoReload" : false,
"handlerCaching" : true,
"eventCaching" : true,
"viewCaching" : true,

Jason Ryan

04/26/2023, 6:08 PM

That seemed to be the culprit. Y'all have my everlasting gratitude 🙏

Initial page loads are taking around 2 seconds for most templates, but once everything is cached everything is loading in about 0.5 seconds now. So much better

Great! 🙂 Glad you found it.

You can probably set

handlerCaching

to true as well and see if that helps. I'd leave

eventCaching

and

viewCaching

set to false as depending on your application you may not want them cached..

Jason Ryan

04/26/2023, 6:12 PM

Good call! I will experiment.

sknowlton

Event caching only does anything if you explicitly enable it in your events, though
