Hi Right Now we are using Suite CRM 8.0 version and we want to set our CRM to the 7.14 version. How can we revert to the older version?
Hi. There is no automated way to revert or downgrade, you can only install a fresh copy 7.14 and then try to move your data over to the old server, if applicable. But you have to do a careful table-by-table work.

Hello John,
out of curiosity:
What is missing from 8 / what’s not working on 8 that makes you want to downgrade to 7?
Another idea, you could set all your modules to legacy mode, then you get all the benefits of SuiteCRM 7 with fancy look of SuiteCRM 8.

You can find a file for legacy.module_routing at the below location.
config/services/module/module_routing.yaml
You can change all module to legacy by setting them to false.

index: true // true means suite 8 view
list: true

Hello Bastian,
I’m facing loading speed issues in lead view pages, it is taking a lot of time to load some pages. A developer suggested that maybe I need to downgrade from the 8.0 to the 7.14 version and will not face this issue.
Can you please suggest me any solution to this?
Thank you
I don’t think your developer has this right. If your issue is just performance, you would be better off just dealing with it as a performance issue.
v8 is not slower than v7. If you’re getting a different experience, then you have something that needs fixing in your configuration.
I only have a performance issue right now with v8. Can you please suggest to me any suitable solutions to improve the performance, that can be done by staying with the 8.0 version? I’ll be grateful for you.
I had only one similar case - on a 8.6.1 I believe - on one specific shared host.
There, we had page load times of circa 1 min. Unfortunately the tech support and me weren’t able to find out, where this issue came from.
On all other VPS / hosts Suite 8 is quite fast - seems like it’s very notably faster than Suite 7.
There are options for performance tweaks:
But they might not help your setup much - what’s your setup / server environment and data amount situation?
I was facing the same issue. The following post helped me

The official suite 8 online demo is very smooth and runs fast.
With some config changes at Apache server and php engine we can definitely make it run faster.
@Johnblack let us know if your loading speed for lead view pages increased or not after making suggested changes.
