Hey there,
so I reinstalled SuiteCRM on the server because of some issues that I could not fix. Now the software is incredible slow (30+s seconds of loading animation on page switch) but the CPU and RAM utilisation of the server sits at basically zero for the entire duration of the “loading” until a short spikes seconds before it finishes.
You might have already found an alternative by now, but I went through something similar where the website was loading super slow (~10 seconds to load page after every click) and it took me a fair bit of time to troubleshoot the cause. I am not sure you will have the same issue but I would recommend the same course of action for troubleshooting.
Check CPU usage htop
Check RAM usage using free -m
Check disk I/O using iotop
Check network utilisation using nethog
Check SQL backend . For MySQL backend, replicate the issue and run the following query show processlist; to see what query is running in the backend. I see a lot of queries in sleep mode which suggested that there could be some potential issues with apache
I looked at apache error logs in /var/log/apache2/error.log to see that Xdebug was trying to connect to a server that didn’t exist
checked the xdebug settings by creating php_info() function to see that there was a reference to a non-existent server
I updated /etc/php/8.0/apache2/conf.d to
xdebug.start_with_request=trigger and set up the xdebug.client_host= <>
