My Magento 2 is extremely slow

[jalnet]

Hi, I installed Magento 2 on a VPS with 3 Gb RAM and 2x2Ghz cpu, centos 6.7, apache 2, php 5.6 mysql 5.6 and is loading extremely slow. More that 20 seconds for first visit, and then is loading in 1s from cache.

Anyone who can help me?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thank You.

Caching definitely should be enabled in production mode so your store visitors  will be OK.

Disabling the cache has a sense for some development tasks only, and a developer should use a performant hardware to increase his productivity. I recommend SSD and more RAM for development.

i've just 1 bg ram and its extremely fast i m on https://www.digitalocean.com/

I know that it should be faster. I think my issue is happening because of my server configuration ( maybe mysql conifg)

I have the same issue

The performance was better after changing the MAGE_MODE variable into your apache or nginx configuration:

set $MAGE_MODE production;   # default or production or developer

If you know how to enable memcache, I am interresting.

jalnet, I have tested again and It is working now. thanks.

For the slowness issue, you can check using firebug; I had 404 errors.

After rebuilding the static content, It is working now:

# ./bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

how can we change magento mode without command line, and through files, and where to find mage-mode ?

[ipragmatech]

If you don't have command line access then you can change the mode by either setting in the webserver environment or php-fpm environment.

For webserver:

open .htaccess file in the web root

Type SetEnv MAGE_MODE production
