There are many articles of advice about how to speed up the front end of an EE site, but very little about how to improve the performance of the Control Panel.
A client is constantly telling me their site's CP is slow. They're on a shared hosting plan - at times it does take a long time to load certain CP pages - such as adding and editing entries.
- Are there any hard, fast rules to speed up the CP?
- Is CP speed directly related to which addons are used / the amount of custom fields per entry?
- Does a faster server mean a faster CP?
- What would be an expected CP page load time?
I've just got a "Script executed in 0.5080 seconds - 211 SQL queries used" which seems pretty good, doesn't it? But the client reports (and I can confirm) that sometime page loads are 10 seconds plus+.
