EW slowing to a c-r-a-w-l. Really.



User: Courtney H. 9 years ago
I have a support ticket on this (below) but I suspect it's something I'll have to fix myself.
Anyone run across this?
=======================================================
This started about 5 versions ago and I've lived with it. But it's now gotten insufferable.
I have a big site with lots of photos (www.rhsclassof69.com)
EW is running on a 2014 iMac with 24 gb of memory. My utilities don't show excessive memory being used and Activity Monitor has nothing too interesting showing.

EW slows to a crawl when dragging in a picture - usually 700x400 72 dpi. The size is generally under 200k. Lately I have had to wait almost 60 seconds watching the beach ball before the picture shows. Today I haven't been able to enter text into a text box. It gets hung up so badly I can't delete the box but the "cut" selection will work.
Publishing the site works fine...if I could do anything to it first.

With EW closed the system works normally.
======================================================
Troubleshooting ideas?

Happy New Year,
Courtney

Hi Courtney,

Sorry for the problems you are experiencing.

We have noticed some issues in the latest version after EverWeb has been opened for a long time and with large websites.

Quitting and relaunching usually fixes this.

We are re-working how EverWeb works to help improve this problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Paul. This slow down has been through the past 4 or 5 versions, so it's nothing new. It's just got worse. Memory use seems to be okay so it's not gagging there.
I'll wait for the update.
Thanks and Happy New Year to you and Rage.
Courtney

Your site isn't huge although the Event Photos section does have a lot of images. Have you thought of creating one or more sections for these photos on another project file(s)?

The EverWeb Codebox site sections have around 200 pages each and I don't get anything like you are describing although it does take while for a projcet file to load.

Hi Roddy -

I haven't thought of that for the photos. Can you expand a bit on what you mean with another project file?

Thanks.

You would create one or more new project files with only photo pages on them by duplicating the original project file and deleting the other pages.

Then publish as a sub directory and link to it using relative file paths.

Thanks Roddy. Worth a shot. I just spend 10 minutes changing one character in a text box. Anything is worth a try now.

I should note, in case it was missed, this slowness is only when editing the site in EW. On-line is very snappy.
