Twitter module and weather module delays extremely joomla site


I have a joomla site and it works fine with all the modules. I installed my site in another server but it delays too much due to Twitter module and weather module wich of course read rss feeds. If i disable these modules the site's performance is fine. Can oneone tell me what can be wrong in the new server. Thank you in advance.


Solution

  • Typically on Joomla! modules for Twitter/Facebook/Weather do very little on the server - the bulk of them use Javascript to retrieve the data from the source website (i.e. not your website).

    Given that, any slow-down is usually related to:

    1. the speed of your internet connection or
    2. the speed of the service providing the data

    Use your browsers profiling tools (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) to determine exactly what's going on - you'll probably find it isn't your server.
