Performance
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wagtail is designed for speed, both in the editor interface and on the front-end, but if you want even better performance or you need to handle very high volumes of traffic, here are some tips on eeking out the most from your installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Editor interface
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We have tried to minimise external dependencies for a working installation of Wagtail, in order to make it as simple as possible to get going. However, a number of default settings can be configured for better performance:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cache
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We recommend `Redis <http://redis.io/>`_ as a fast, persistent cache. Install Redis through package manager and enable it as a cache backend::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CACHES = {
|
||
|
|
'default': {
|
||
|
|
'BACKEND': 'redis_cache.cache.RedisCache',
|
||
|
|
'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:6379',
|
||
|
|
'OPTIONS': {
|
||
|
|
'CLIENT_CLASS': 'redis_cache.client.DefaultClient',
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Without a persistent cache, Wagtail will recreate all compressable assets at each server start, e.g. when any files change under ```./manage.py runserver```.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Search
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wagtail has strong support for `Elasticsearch <http://www.elasticsearch.org/>`_ - both in the editor interface and for users of your site - but can fall back to a database search if Elasticsearch isn't present. Elasticsearch is faster and more powerful than the Django ORM for text search, so we recommend installing it or using a hosted service like `Searchly <http://www.searchly.com/>`_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Database
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wagtail is tested on SQLite, and should work on other Django-supported database backends, but we recommend PostgreSQL for production use.

Caching proxy
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To support high volumes of traffic with excellent response times, we recommend a caching proxy. Both `Varnish <http://www.varnish-cache.org/>`_ and `Squid <http://www.squid-cache.org/>`_ have been tested in production. Hosted proxies like `Cloudflare <https://www.cloudflare.com/>`_ should also work well.
