Satellite 4

After a while first load of satellite takes just ages (half a minute atleast)..

I assume its because of Cron is triggered (log says Cron + Callhome)

Do I need it? I might be able to run cron outside of webpage using my hosting cron service and drupal cron key (site.tld/cron.php?cron_key=XXXX).. would that be a problem?

Thanks

Another reason can be that there is no cache of the page, and of course, it must be generated, so it takes some time.

As Adam says, if it's a local installation, in the server it should run faster.

Well, it's an online installation on subdomain.. works just fine since I made this settings.. cron is run every 4 hours by hosting service and does'n slow down first user who opens the page after those 3 hour interval (default satellite cron execution schedule).. atleast as far as I know

But I can give it a bit more testing next week (set satellite cron to 1 hour and check the page after that time).. in order to be sure it's the issue or to prove I'm totally wrong ;)

btw the site is open for WPA too, so you should be able to check if you want to.. maybe I missed something

I guess you try it on your local computer's XAMPP (or somethig simillar) installation, right?

On the actual dedicated hosting server things should move much smoother.
