For many years, our website, which was built using Typo3, has been experiencing slow performance for the past week.
When we try to visit our site, the loading times are quite slow, sometimes taking 3-4 seconds, while other times it can take up to 1 minute.
There are no performance issues on the backend side; it works properly and quickly as before. No changes have been made to our website in the last 1-2 months. No new posts were added, no plugins were installed, yet suddenly the page loading became very slow, even though nothing was done.
Here are the topics I have researched so far to find a solution:
Our website is hosted on a server running Debian 9.8.0, with 8 vCPUs, 20 GB RAM, and 1 TB disk space. The Typo3 version we are using is Typo3 v6.2.26. So far, we have not been able to find a solution in our research as to why this problem suddenly appeared and how we can fix it. Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.
Some more Ideas:
And as said before: Update your TYPO3! Beside security issus newer TYPO3 Versions can use newer PHP Version, which could speed up your website too.
