Backend getting slower and slower

16 Jan 2026, 10:55

After years I are back in photography and recreate my gallery with X3.

The last two days I had the problem, when starting working in the backend (panel) all is fast. After a while it's getting slower and slower. The browser lacks often 20-30 seconds after a click or the backend is greyed out for this time. First I had this in Firefox. After I switched to Chrome it worked for an hour or so, then here the same.
Anyone else with this issue?

My server hardware is very powerfull and I gave a lot of PHP memory to the installation.

This must be caused by something of course, for example extreme amount of folders and/or extreme amount of images in each folder. If it wasn't related to any changes in your X3 gallery, then it could only be related to the server getting slower from something else (other users and/or other apps).

Is the frontend slow?

I can really only diagnose this if you could send me a link in private (email or pm).

The demo panel isn't slow ...

Hi, I have only 14 folders with about 50 - 70 photos. At the moment I work a lot in the backend, so, if someone only loads some pictures up, the issue will not occur.
The frontend is super fast. I think it has to do with the browser cache. I'll do some more tests.
