    I do clear it every now and then.

    When I didn’t have it enabled, the application would spike. Although I think that had something to do with Jot, which I’ve since removed.

    Clearing the cache though doesn’t do anything to the manager though.

      That’s obviously a fairly large file and the more documents you add the bigger it’s going to get. There are other techniques such as including snippets from external files that can help reduce this file’s size significantly. That’s really the only thing that is going to help, though I would think dedicated servers would be able to handle it. However, if this is on a shared file system connected to two webservers, writing to the shared mount is going to be a larger bottleneck than even a single server would experience.

      Alright, I’ll see what I can do with the snippets. Hopefully I can speed this thing up, because right now it’s unbearable to work with.

        I know it’s not two webservers with a shared filesystem.. I believe things are mirrored over to the other server.

        I moved a bunch of snippets over, and got the size down to a little bit smaller than a meg, didn’t change anything though. The manager is still ridiculously slow when saving anything (including snippets).

          A 1MB cache is a pretty large cache file ... it has to be parsed and updated on each page save.

            Hi All,

            I just did a fresh install of 9.6.1.2 on a server and the manager is crawling along. I have created 4 tiny chunks and 1 small template. I have no idea where to begin. I have installed 5 other modx sites successfully with no problems on hostgator, but this site is hosted by web.com on a linux server. On my other installations, any action in the manager takes 1-3 seconds while on this server, it takes 20- 30 seconds to do anything. Is there a best practice, or a checklist, for troubleshooting an installation? any advice, or links to other articles would be very helpful. Is it a folder permissions issue?
