hello, I am developing the following website using Radiant:
laaia.textdriven.com
This is the first time I have used radiant on ANY project. I always
noticed that
this website was always a little slow loading up. I checked it in
various
locations and there was always a certain lag. Today while meeting with
the client
and viewing the website from office the delay was VERY apparent (and a
little
embarassing). I’m not sure what is going on since I’m a total noob at
rails.
Could it be some issue with radiant caching system, or is there some
sort of
issue with my radiant configuration causing the delay or something in my
code…

It looks pretty responsive to me. Any DB-driven app will have a
similar lag. The fact that you’re using a shared server only makes
matters worse, specially at peak times.

Yeah, the response time looks fine now. I have a textdrive account to
and sometimes its
ridiculously s l o w.
Also, keep in mind that the first time you hit a page, it could be slow
depending on the content and the Radius tags you used. After the first
hit
(as long as you’re running in production mode), the page should render
MUCH
faster because it will be cached.
That said, even with lighttpd proxying, TextDrive’s shared hosting of
Rails
apps can be slow, especially when under load.
