Slow updates since 4.3

Hello,

after updating to 4.3, updating in the backened is extremely slow. The whole server will be pulled down.

I have 70 sites and about 80 updates to do (themes, plugins, translations). The MainWp installation is exclusive, nothing else runs on it. I have no current error messages in the log file.
What could be the cause of this?

Hey @joba

There haven’t been any changes in v4.3 that would impact the performance of updates.
Can you please elaborate on what you mean by the “whole server will be pulled down”? Do you mean that the server will crash or temporarily slow down?

And keep in mind that if the server is not dedicated, the activity of other users can also impact the performance of your websites.

Thanks for the system report.

You can try setting all values to default on Settings > Advanced Settings page and see if that helps.

And can you please elaborate on what you mean by the “whole server will be pulled down”? Do you mean that the server will crash or temporarily slow down?

Hi, thank you for quick annswer,
I have a server which has 70 domains running WordPress with MainWp.
This I mean.
If I make updates the whole server (and all domains) are extreme slow for a much longer time as before.
This wasn’t before.

Thanks for the update.

Can you please try the advice from the previous message and see if that helps? Allow me to repeat it for your convenience.

Keep in mind that that the time it takes to execute the updates will depend on what exactly is getting updated, and it will also depend on the server load which can be a significant factor on shared hosting.

And to reiterate, there were no changes in v4.3 that would negatively impact the performance of updates.

Hi,

thank you.
Now it is better after using the defaults, but it was only changed the Minimuim Delay from 300 to 200. I will see at the next updates if it is ok.

The problem was at updating the DIVI Theme at 70 Domains and some other Plugins

Kind regards

Joerg

@joba Yes this should give you a much better experience. Since all your sites are on one server you are basically “flooding” that server with requests and it’s derping out. Lessening these settings will slow MainWP down so that the server may catch up.

Let us know if you continue to have issues.
