Bug #: 29921
Summary: Loading a page with ResourceLoader takes more time
than without that
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Resource Loader
AssignedTo: tpars...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: szots...@gmail.com
CC: roan.katt...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
I've just upgraded to MediaWiki 1.17 and also updated my skin file to use
ResourceLoader.
But the problem is with ResourceLoader, that my site is loading from 8 secs to
2 mins… Before it took approximately 4-5 seconds.
After I investigated the issue, I found out, that RL doesn't cache the
generated minimized files, rather than it let a proxy to cache it for own
purpose.
It's very bad, because for a slow server (typical at hosting providers) every
page generation takes a lot of time to generate to all users a dedicated JS and
CSS file (which are mostly the same).
For example phpBB stores its generated cache in the database. Wordpress with
"W3 Total Cache" extension stores every minimized files on the file system
after the first visitor had that generated (and even automatically stores that
on a CDN).
After I disabled the RL and removed it from my skin, the site loads again in 2
seconds.
Here is a thread on it:
