CMS Catalog UI loading slow

Hi,

I have on a project some issues with performance in the Catalog UI, meaning that if I want to browse a specific category, from Catalog UI in the CMS, it takes couples of minutes to view the products and to scroll to view more products, there are categories with couple of hundreds of products, variants and packages.

Is this a known issue this with EpiServer or it's something that only I'm facing with?

I would like to mention that I've just upgraded the solution 2 weeks ago with the EPiServer - update 74, so it's quite up-to-date.

Is there any way to set a specific number of products to load, in the CMS Catalog UI (let's say bulks of 50 entries) and not to try load all each time..?

Thanks,

Axi :)

Hi Axi,

I do know that EPi (on the CMS side) often has issues with its page tree or media tree is there are "too many" pages/assets within a node. Sometimes this slowness is caused by too many pages/assets in the root node.

In the Catalog UI context, something similar is probably happening. If you have a few hundred entries within a node, you could try moving those entries into other nodes (thus reducing the number of entries in a given node) and see if that'll increase performance.

Hi,

That's very strange. In our test environment, a single average VM can handle a node with more than 2000 entries with easy. So I would suggest you to profile your site to see what is the bottleneck.

I trust dotTrace, and SqlProfiler can give some insightful information.

Hi,

Check if its taking time in loading Images on catalog UI?

Threshold for using the simplified mode can be configured using the SimplifiedCatalogListingThreshold appSetting

appSettings>
  <add key="SimplifiedCatalogListingThreshold" value="1000" />
</appSettings>

change value to 1or 5 an dtest is it still slow.

HI,

yeah, I just tried this and the perfomance has considerably increased, the only aspect is that you cannot sort or do any operation in the products list and you have the yellow message there, but seems to be ok.

Thanks,

Axi :)
