gitlab interface performance is slow

My gitlab is slow when I switch between projects in the web interface. I have loading times between 1000ms to 2000ms. It's run in my local network and i have the following configuration. 4 CPUs 6GB memory, SSD Disks and Ubuntu 20. My gitlab version is 13.8.4-ee. Our Gitlab runners run on an other machine. What else can I improve to optimize the performance?

I have optimized the configuration /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

puma['worker_processes'] = 4
puma['min_threads'] = 6
postgresql['shared_buffers'] = "2GB"
Solution

  • I have now found a way to get detailed logs over which I can continue my analysis. Also I checked other Gitlab installations and the load times to display the whole project should be in the range of '1000ms'.
