Topic: one of the website takes a very long time to load

[velocity]

I am having a website on a reverse proxy environment which is running slow.
Here are a few statistics

recorded the website loading time in the Chrome developer tools time line section and
based on what I observed

following page elements take more than 100 ms on the website
jquery checks
113 ms http://192.168.1.5:8080/eduCommons/p...achekey0517.js

244ms http://192.168.1.5:8080/eduCommons/p...achekey1443.js
247ms http://192.168.1.5:8080/eduCommons/p...chekey5402.css

like this there are some more css and page elements which have taken
100ms or 200ms in their GET request from server.

on this link

they mentioned what Google has defined as a slow website following
words are mentioned.

"Google has made it clear that any process that takes more than 100
milliseconds (1/10 of a second) is too long"

So that means the website is slow.

In fact I have asked a few people to access the website on internet and they too reported the same.

In a step by step way then

1) The site http://site5.abc.com was loading slowly
(Some page elements showed 411ms in Google Developer tools snapshot [URL="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4018/4659120495_b53bf97a58_b.jpg"]here[/URL])
2) From my laptop checked http://192.168.1.5:8080/eduCommons

( got a few page elements 211 ms and one was 770 ms a snapshot for the 700 ms attached [URL="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/4658588197_f4dd59b9fd_b.jpg"]here[/URL])

3) Then to check if the site is loading slow on CentOS server itself I did


ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 root@192.168.1.5

4) Then from my laptop when above ssh connection on step 3 was alive

http://localhost:8080/eduCommons
and saw a page element loading at 411 ms.


If I am not wrong then by step 4 it is confirming that site is slow on server itself.

The Header set adds a header to the browser. That is not viewable in the log file.

You have to use a tool to view the header like curl in the example or any other tool to view the header apache sends. And start apache with -DRequestTime to make that work.
