Admin page loading very slow

Hi,

I am running pi-hole (V5) on Ubuntu 20.04 server.
I am getting a very slow response on loading the admin page (especially the client activity section)
check the attachment.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks,
Nikesh

Same here!

Hi,

did you already clear your browser cache?

Do you have adblocker-addins (uBlock, NoScript, ...) running in the browser? Disable the addin for the Pi-hole site.

No addins here and having the same issue... fresh install of pi-hole and everything works as it should but the admin pages take up to 30 seconds to load... way longer than any online newspaper... I read something somewhere about adding 127.0.0.0 as a dns or something but I can't remember where nor where it was meant to be placed...

Check if there are errors in

/var/log/lighttpd/error.log

I have got the same problem. I looked at the network tab of chrome dev tools and saw that some file types (.js, .css) just did not load successfully. So I looked into /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and discovered that file mod_compress is used. First I checked for correct ownership of the cache directory but changing that to www-data:www-data did not solved the problem so I just disabled compression be commenting out the module and after a restart the admin page runs perfectly fine.

So here is what you can try:

sudo nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

look for this part and comment out 'mod_compress'

server.modules = (
    "mod_access",
    "mod_accesslog",
    "mod_auth",
    "mod_expire",
#    "mod_compress",
    "mod_redirect",
    "mod_setenv",
    "mod_rewrite"
)

save and restart lighttpd server.
