Tomcat gzip configuration not working - Community 5.1g

g_rathod

Team, 

Recently I want to have vanilla test with siteminder and installed  version 5.1g community edition

I configured my SSO and it is working, but I observed that it is taking too much time to load dashboard.

From Siteminder login page to Alfresco dashboard page it took more than 2 min.

Before gzip applied

After gzip applied

I am surprised looking at result,

After compression it is taking 2.5 minutes to load dashboard and without compression it took 2min.

One thing I am not able to figure out, even we refresh alfresco dashboard,why it is downloading every resources from scratch? I can see there are 89 requests and around 3.4 mb transffered.

Here is my compression setting in server.xml

<Connector port="8080" URIEncoding="UTF-8" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
compression="on"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/css, application/xml, application/xhtml+xml, application/rss+xml, application/javascript, application/x-javascript"
redirectPort="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="32768" />

Is there any way to load dashboard page faster?  2 minute to load dashboard is very disappointed.

Thanks,

Ghanshyam

First of all, compression and caching should always be handled by a front-end web server / proxy. Second of all, make sure you have configured Share to use the flag client-debug with false as the value (share-config-custom.xml) so that Share/Surf actually cache generated Aikau resources. Third of all, it is advisable to create a post-startup script that loads Aikau enabled pages so the resources are generated in advance of the first user access.
