PDB Pages take long to load

The plugin in it’s current version is somewhat inefficient for big databases. The upcoming update improves on this a lot.

How many entries do you have in your database?

Are you showing images in the plugin output? The plugin does not compress or resize images, so large uploaded images will bog things down.

The speed of loading pages in a intranet situation is going to be primarily limited by the server’s capacity and configuration. The most likely culprit is a slow MYSQL query, and this is partly the efficiency of the software, and also how much memory and CPU is available in the server when the requests come in.

If you really want to see where the bottleneck is, there are ways of looking at the load process in detail. From that, you can see if the issue is the server or software or both. If you need guidance on that, I can help you get that set up.

Thank you so much for your response.

I have 7 entries in my database. Each one with one image and 5 fields. The images are all >30kb

We have a dedicated server running the intranet and the whole site in general runs very fast including other plugins such as calendars and image galleries.

If you can assist me in trying to identify the bottle neck i would most appreciate it.

Hello

I resolved this by removing images from the search/listing page and making them only show up detail view. That seems to work for me.

I have one more question:

How can I change the heading that says “Participant Info” to something like “Company Info”

I don’t see anything there that would account for the slow load.

On the “manage database fields” page, under the “field groups” tab you’ll find where the group titles are defined.
