    <meta name="description" content="[[*introtext:empty=`[[*content:strip_tags]]`:limit=`200`]]">


    in the head?

      So something's happening (or not happening) server-side. You want to comment out all your snippets and see if it loads quickly. Then re-add one at a time until it all grinds to a halt again, and you'll know where the problem is hopefully.

      // add a dash to the front of your snippet tag and it will be ignored
      [[-mySnippet]]

        @frogabog: kind of. Its this:
        <meta name="description" content="[[*introtext:empty=`[[*description]]`:limit=`200`]]" />

        Is this relevant?

          Well, first of all it doesn't strip any tags, which can cause issues if you've got a snippet or chunk in the first 200 characters. It likes to include the snippet results above the header, not necessarily in the head itself but just after it closes, and said snippet errors into an array, chunks just appear.

          In the content, or template, tv, etc... snippets fail again, chunks appear.

          You can override it by including "something" in the introtext field, but that doesn't fix snippets. They still array.

          So yeah, strip tags is a problem. (but you're not stripping) I'm just using
          <meta name="description" content="[[*introtext]]" />


          and making sure something is entered for the time being, till somebody figures out a good solution.

          Bob had an idea, one of his handwritten snippets IIRC. I haven't tried it. Will have to do some deep searching to find it.

            Than you a lot! But right now, this is the least problem smiley

              I forgot to scroll to the end, the dum kids keep leaving the door wide open and I haven't turned on the heat yet.

              Strip tags is an issue and has made pages not show as well. I thought it might be trying to process some tags.

                I tested again and there was no real performance issue regarding
                <meta name="description" content="[[*introtext:empty=`[[*description]]`:limit=`200`]]" />

                It takes just a long time (avg. 4 sec) for the server to respond anything. Does'nt matter if the code above was mentioned or not.

                One big difference between the two sites on the same server is, that I imported hundreds of resources into the slow site. that cant be the reason, can it?
