Hi folks, We've just launched a new site to production, and I'm looking for some help in further optimizations I may not yet have performed. Page load times are excellent (.075 seconds) with all of the below features enabled, plus eAccelerator installed (on a P4 3.2ghz), and cache blocks in strategic spots:
[ContentSettings]
TranslationList=
ViewCaching=enabled
CachedViewModes=full;sitemap;pdf;popup_generic
PreViewCache=enabled
PreCacheSiteaccessArray[]=<ourpubsitename>
[TemplateSettings]
NodeTreeCaching=enabled
TemplateCache=enabled
TemplateCompile=enabled
Here's what I need help with. Whenever new content is published, page load times go way up. Whenever I make template changes, clear cache and recompile templates, page load times are HORRIBLE the first time a given page is loaded. Think 6-10 seconds -- way too slow. What else can I do that I haven't already done to speed up this first page load before everything is cached? I've thought of resorting to using some sort of Web site spidering tool to crawl the whole site, load all the pages, and get it over with. Any other suggestions?
