I have setup so many instances over the months on different servers and the web ui always takes 40s to a minute to load per page I have always used redis for caching and the best methods even the aio docker image(s) are really slow.
kind of just been living with it for the past month or so but its really annoying when others are saying theirs takes seconds to load.

Cannot confirm this. For me nextcloud us very snappy and fast.
I am with you as well. I’ve had my instance up for 3 years on 4 cores and 8GB ram and each page loads in seconds. I’m not running anything crazy on it either (stock + 3ish extras). Hard drives are 4x sas in raid10.
You know their tuning page? I did several of their suggestions and they helped me. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/server_tuning.html
What Hardware are you using? My nextcloud takes at most a couple seconds and has only been getting faster these last few updates.
…this is a new low for low-effort posts.
Wow.
haha sorry still getting the hang of lemmy and accidently submitted it with no body
Then, sorry - i thought this was a legitimate shtpost.
Have you tried integrating a caching mechanism? Or tried assigning more memory to PHP?
Uhm, you will need to tell us more about your hardware or setup.
I wouldn’t describe my Nextcloud as especially fast or optimized, but it is only around 20s from the login screen to being able to use it. And once you are logged in it is quite fast.
I had that same issue until I disabled the collabora extension. It’s much, much better now.
What database? I use Mariadb as a backend and have never had slowness like you describe. I guess also how many files?
I’ve experienced the same, even the hosted/paid instances Nextcloud recommends are very slow.
I think it’s just not built to be fast.
Same here,it tried running it on a vps, i tried it as the only program running on a 32GB ram operton server, now i’m running it inside Docker with Redis and all the recommended optimizations, no apps installed . As slow as always.
Nextcloud is like Windows 98, when you install it it’s fast, then as you add data to it it gets expotentially slower.
I’m moving most data to Syncthing, gave up on the Files part of Nextcloud.
Syncthing is what I use as well, it’s very fast and I’ve been using it for over a year now with no issues.
I’ve actually had nextcloud nuke my data once before too, they had a bug that reset the created/mod time of every file to something like 01/01/1000 and completely broke everything, I had to restore from a backup.
I’m not running nextcloud myself, but have you checked that the database settings are scaled to match your server’s resources?
yeah i use mariadb with it and messed with the config but still nothing more than maybe 1 second same with enabling caching with redis and editing the php config i did get it down from 3-4 minutes though so thats something
What CPU / RAM / DISK resources do you have allocated?
4 cores 8GB ram and 500GB i looked at a resource monitor and the cpu barely hits 10% when im trying to load ages and the server is running other things
Next thing that comes to mind is web server settings / threads / workers. But I’m afraid I can’t help you more since I’m not familiar with Nextcloud.
yeah i have increased them to the recommended settings and tried adding some but still cant get it to constantly load under a minute. i would put it down to the server being 100s of miles from me but even my server running in house is slow
Because it’s ✨ modern ✨ and ✨ enterprise ✨
Most new software not explicitly made for and by hobbyists will assume “just throw more hardware at it” to be a valid solution to inefficiency, and unfortunately Nextcloud (especially with any of the office extensions) seems to be heading that way.
If you only want online file storage and sync, you may want to try Seafile. It’s a lot faster and has been rock solid since 10+ years for me. Not viable if you need some of the many nextcloud exentions though
I have the same issues with Nextcloud as OP, regardless of the hardware it’s running on or what kind of optimizations I’ve done, but I’ve always hesitated to use Seafile because it doesn’t keep the files in tact. They are chunked/encrypted or something else, which I’m sure helps performance, but I really value having my files just be regular files with Nextcloud, so if I ever want to take them out of Nextcloud without the help of the application, I can just do that.
I wish Seafile had an option to maintain the file integrity. If it did, I would definitely give it another try.
