#88 MRBS Speed Performance

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way to optimize the MRBS to make it faste to respond. Our department is complaining about 2-3 seconds screen refresh when navigatinf dates and 3-4 second for switching between Areas. To us, it seems reasonable but we wanted to ask just in case.

Here are the specifics:
Hard coded MRBS authentication.
Simple installation with no integration to other apps.
Configuration details MRBS version MRBS 1.7.3
$auth['type'] config
$auth['session'] php
Server details Database MySQL 5.5.45
System Windows NT WSAA-APPWC01 10.0 build 14393 (Windows Server 2016) AMD64
Server time 9/10/2019 8:55:12 AM
Server software Microsoft-IIS/10.0
PHP 7.3.1
Network: 1GB

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I agree that it seems slow. How many time slots or periods do you have per day? And how many areas and rooms do you have?

8 areas and it is preconfigured to server a slot avary 30 minutes. On everage we have 10-15 active events a day.

Thanks. I would expect it to be much faster than that. One thing you could do is look at the Network tab in Developer Tools in your browser to see if it gives any clues as to where the delay is.

The other thing you could do is to upgrade to the latest snapshot in the default branch - follow the Download Snapshot link. This has two sources of performance improvement: (1) less HTML is sent for each page and (2) the previous and next pages in the calendar views are pre-fetched in the background. However, although this may give you some improvement, I think it would only be masking the root cause of the performance problem, whatever that is.

Thank you kindly! I will give it a shot.
