Issue Dear Plesk team, please speed up Plesk

[trialotto]

Hmm ...... thinking about migrating to cPanel right now......

.........and as soon as cPanel is slower (which already is the case), I will return to Plesk.

No, just kidding.......I will stick to Plesk, as many former cPanel adepts are doing right now.

there is no getting away from the fact that plesk is drastically slower then it used to be.

It can take up to a minute to create new domains on standard (16gb ram / e3-1270 / ssd drives) dedicated servers which used to happen on comparable servers in seconds with older versions of plesk. I suppose you can argue that it is worth waiting for but wouldn't it be more useful to figure out why ?

The problem in that there are could be a lot of different reasons for why. I think that most likely they are related to the individual features of your hosting, server, settings and so on. And I suppose that the best way for identifying and elimination of that reasons is addressing to Plesk Support Team for deep investigation.

Hello all.

I do feel plesk slow also.

Domains are running fine, but plesk interface is slow. It takes sometimes up o 15 secs to start load a page, then it's instant. But this initial lag is always present

I'm on a VPS with 4 cores 12GB Ram and SSD storadge.

Any clue how to fix this?

Thank you.

You could try enabling debug to try isolating it;

How to enable debug mode in Plesk Onyx and earlier versions for Linux?

Installing php 7.2 completely solved the problem for me (I also installed other components, so I'm not sure if it's just php). Previously, I waited a dozen seconds before the page loaded. Now everything is working incredibly quickly. The difference is like between hell and heaven.

Installing php 7.2 completely solved the problem for me...

Hmmm... I'm wondering how this can be possible: doesn't the Plesk panel run with its own PHP?

Personally I also found last Plesk Onyx 17.5 releases to be really slow, but now I've upgraded to 17.8.10 (a testing release...) and that's really quick, on a totally different level.

It happens, anyway, that sometimes the Panel becomes totally unresponsive and the only solution is to open a new fresh session.

 

[alvesjc]

Ok, great news, but how do I define wich PHP version to use for plesk itself?

 

[MarkM]

uhhhh I'm lost.... Plesk runs its own internal version of PHP..... Did you upgrade to Onyx 17.8?

 

[Tomek]

I'm on Plesk Version 17.5.3 Update #42 last updated on Feb 28.

Earlier, I had php 5.6 (os vendor) and php 7.0 installed. It was very slow. Now I installed php 7.2. But I also with php installed other components (Dovecot, Postfix, SpamAssassin. I did not have them installed before). So maybe it was a problem with my configuration.

 

[Sergio Manzi]

@Tomek IMHO none of the components you have installed may have had a positive impact on your Plesk responsiveness.

On the other hand I see you are on #42: latest 17.5.3 I have used (and was slow) was #40: this can be...

 

[alvesjc]

well, mine is:

• Product: Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 Update #42 , last updated at Feb 27, 2018 06:33 AM
• Checked at Feb 27, 2018 07:30 AM.

It's better now while moving on normal windows, website & domains, mail, applications, etc.

But it's still very slow if you go to updates & upgrades.

Lets see, I haven't enabled debugs yet.

 

[Sergio Manzi]

I don't want to push anybody doing something he might later regret, but... I'm happy with 17.8.10...

 

[MarkM]

And I'm happy with cPa.... Plesk in general.

Well, actually with some "caveat": see Disabling Facebook integration (backend)

 

[MarkM]

You really do hate that integration don't you....

 

[Sergio Manzi]

... from the deepest of my heart!

So in my case is it not php version was the source of the problem.

I can not wait for the Plesk 17.8. If it's faster, I'll be overjoyed!
