!Friendica Support An other question about speed. I have this #Friendica installed on a Uberspace server - and it is very slow. When I click on the menu entry (lets say "Group" "Friendica Support") it takes about 10 or more seconds until I see the page in the browser (Firefox). How to speed up this?
@Tin This particular page has been historically slow. So far the only way to speed it up has been to spend more on hosting performances.
@Tin
@Hypolite Petovan On Uberspace I don't have much choice...
@Tin Of course, but Uberspace isn’t the only available hoster, not even in Germany. I read that Hetzner is currently hosting half of the Fediverse in number of user accounts.
@Tin
@Hypolite Petovan Oh boy - "decentralized" network - all on the same servers - nice 😉
@Tin If we want to be pedantic, it isn't as decentralized as it is federated, but still, it's better than centralized systems for user's agency.
@Tin

Read this too. These are instances hostet on root servers.

I tried to run my instance on a "Level 4"-shared hosting at Hetzner. Technically it worked fine, but without any performance. The support wrote at the time, that the available server performance is justly spread between all shared-hosting-domains. It is not possible to book special features.

So Uberspace - the provider of my instance - seems ok for me. It's a good compromise between cost and performance.

@Tin there are others. I heard of netcup and I am here: https://php-friends.de/
@Tin

I also tried shared-hosting with this provider and can not recommend that: Installation didn't work at all via ("git clone" and) "composer" - since then I install and update via the archives. And s far as i remember, there were other issues with unsupported functions while running the instance. Don't remember details.
Same with two other providers, as long as you i tried shared-hosting.

@xy.. php-friends sounds interesting. What offer did you book there?

@xy..
@Bionk @Tin the smallest VServer .. (S) .. my other 2 websites are on uberspace. But I wanted more hdd for the friendica ..
