HFS very slow response on some clients

[Chris Harris]

Hi
I am using HFS 2.3h build 296 on a Windows 10 machine. I have one real folder with many file/folders. The top folder has about 990 files and there are about 20,000 files in folders/I am using the mobile-light template. When accessing the server via a web address on the same machine, the response is reasonably fast (say 4 seconds). On some other devices is can be very slow. On a smartphone (Motorola Razr M) it can take 4.5 minutes to paginate and display the final screen. The server CPU stays at about 20% the whole time.

What can I do to speed up the process?

Is the pagination done on the client browser, not on the server? If so can the pagination be done on the server or can I turn off pagination?

Any other suggestions welcome.
Chris

 using the mobile-light template....

what happens if you try it with the default template.. i'm sure it the template that causing this...

and it probably a template thing for "pagination"...

I tested with the default template and the program was MUCH faster for the smart phone/small screen.

When using mobile-light template (hfs.diff.tpl), the time to paginate and display the final screen was many times longer ( 250 secs vs 19 secs for default).

I do like the layout of mobile-light template on all screens and the ability to turn on and off the menu block.

What can be done to speed up this template?

Regards
Chris

If you use images, but no thumbnails, you could try to replace "thumb/%item-url%" with "%item-icon%" or "" (line 4)

update: try to load the script earlier
add [box panel] before the script and the content of box panel of the hfs.tpl after the script block

I tried replacing  "thumb/%item-url%" with "%item-icon%" or "" (line 4) and I found no difference.

Any other suggestions?

It's seems this was discussed over here in 2010, and they were describing the same "lag" problem. As far I know, they didn't found a solution to this.

i understand there's no problem anymore, as i found the new version of the template to be much faster.

I should consider making a new mobile-friendly default template.
