Page onload time is very high - php

I am trying to investigate the cause of slowness on my website.
Here I attach firebug screenshot:
As you can see, all of content is loaded in just 2.92s, but javascript onload event is fired up AFTER 17.67s.
In case you want to see the website itself: http://maylashop.com .
I have tried to use YSlow, I get A grade and it doesn't help.
If anyone have fix or know what caused this, please kindly let me know.

why http://cf.addthis.com ? http://platform.twitter.com, plusone.google.com .... I dont see you use them any where ? if you are using , add them when they are desired
follow the guide lines Yslow , get some matrix and the check what is the bottleneck
You will be happy to follow these rules

This is not a JavaScript problem. Your PHP script is taking that long to execute (see screenshot). All the other resources that page is loading (JS, CSS, images, etc.) are taking less than a second to load. I'm 95% sure this is caused by zlib.output_compression. Try adding the following code to the top of your script to see if disabling it does anything useful:
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 0);
If that fixes it, then you could consider not using zlib.out_compression or figure out what specific thing in your code is causing problems with it (usually output buffering).

Pretty sure this is not related to javascript. Just to request your main page took about 2 seconds. Ran this on a linux machine:
date ; lynx -source http://maylashop.com/ > /dev/null ; date
Fri Apr 13 22:38:19 CEST 2012
Fri Apr 13 22:38:21 CEST 2012
This is an independent confirmation that the host is either generating the index page too slowly, or there is a network transfer issue.
Doing the same thing with /index.php or /index.html or even a 404 page I created on the fly results with same ~2 second delay.
Edit: checked image download speed, and that one is <1 second. Close to 0.
Something in your PHP code might be creating the problem (inducing a delay.) One of those things could be delay in connecting to a MySQL server (or whatever you're using.) Is the database server on the same exact machine, or remote? Are you connecting to it on each call, or do you have a caching system in place?

PHP filemtime() not working - cache problem?

I am calling filemtime() from a PHP file executed by POST from a JavaScript/HTML app. It returns the same time stamp for a separate test HTML file every two seconds even when I edit the test file with a text editor and I can see its DTM change in the local file system.
If I reload the entire app (Ctrl+F5), the timestamp reported stays the same. At times (once after 4 hours) the time stamp changes, but I don't know what makes this happen.
The PHP part of my code looks like this:
clearstatcache(true,$FileArg);
$R=filemtime($FileArg);
if ($R===false)
echo "error: file not found";
else
echo $R;
This code is called by synchronous Ajax, given only its PHP filename, using setInterval every 2 seconds.
Windows 10 Home, Apache 2.4.33 running locally for HTTP access, PHP 7.0.30 .
ADDED:
The behavior is the same in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Edge.
The results are being cached: http://php.net/manual/en/function.filemtime.php
Note: The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache() for more details.
It almost sounds like Windows is doing some write caching...
stat() on the other hand has an additional note:
Note:
Note that time resolution may differ from one file system to another.
Maybe worth checking stat output.
edit
Maybe it's a bug, or Windows not playing nice, but you could also do a shell_exec with the Windows command showing DTM.
News: it turns out to be an ordinary bug in my app. I copied my Ajax call and forgot to edit it to apply to the test file. So it applied to one of my app files instead and the DTM only got updated when I edited that app file (FTAdjust.js).
When I specify the correct test file, the DTM updates just fine each time I edit it in another process.
It can sometimes be hard to find one's own bug even when it stares one in the face! I kept looking everywhere else but where the mistake was.
Is there a way to delete a thread from Stack Overflow, since it is irrelevant to others?

Firefox: connection determined in PHP script

I've set up an Apache Server as localhost in a openSUSE 13.1 64 bit system and I'm currently testing my PHP scripts.
In Konquerer 4.11.5 everything seems fine, but with Firefox 29.0.1 there is a strange phenomenon:
Every 10th time or so the connection fails. Firefox reports: "Connection determined".
The failed connection is listed neither in error_log nor in access_log.
The error must be quite "early". Because my PHP script output.php calls "itself" via
header("Location: output.php?changed_url");
almost immediately, but the Firefox error is BEFORE output.php is opened for the second time.
I have no idea what to do about this. It's a quite annoying issue.
All answers will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I guess you are missing
exit;
after the header() location change.
So you have an open script, firefox redirecting to the next (itself) and still having one open, ... I think firefox doesn't like this kind of loop ;)
Do you have any .htaccess file there? Have you tried using firefox from different OS or computer? I bet it's related to your installation of firefox :) (i ain't pro take it as guess)

Browser shows time out while Server process is still running

I am having following problem:
I am running BIG memory process but have divided memory load into smaller chunks so no CPU time out issue.
In the Server I am creating .xml files with around 100kb sizes and they will be created around 100+.
Now main problem is browser shows Response Time out and IE at the below (just upper status bar) shows .php file download message.
During this in the backend (Server side) process is still running and continuously creating .xml files in incremental order. So no issue with that.
I have following php.ini configuration.
max_execution_time = 10000 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 10000 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 2000M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2000M
I am running my site on IE. And I am using ZSCE with PHP 5.3
Can anybody redirect me on proper way on this issue?
Edit:
Uploading image of Time out and that's why asking for .php file download.
Edit 2:
I briefly explain my execution flow:
I have one PHP file with objects of Class Hierarchies which will start to execute Function1() from each class Hierarchy.
I have class file.
First, let say, Function1() is executed which contains logic of creating XML files in chunks.
Second, let say, Function2() is executed which will display output generated by Function1().
All is done in Class Hierarchies manner. So I can't terminate, in between, execution of Function1() until it get executed. And after that Function2() will be called.
Edit 3:
This is specially for #hakre.
As you asked some cross questions and I agree with some points but let me describe more in detail about the issue.
First I was loading around 100+ MB size XML Files at a time and that's why my Memory in local setup was hanging and stops everything on Machine and CPU time was utilizing its most resources.
I, then, divided this big size XML files in to small size (means now I am loading single XML file at a time and then unloading it after its usage). This saved me from Memory overload and CPU issue on local setup.
Now my backend process is running no CPU or Memory issue but issue is with Browser Timeout. I even tried cURL but as per my current structure it does seems to fit because of my class hierarchy issue. I have a set of classes in hierarchy and they all execute first their Process functions and then they all execute their Output functions. So unless and until Process functions get executed the Output functions do not comes in picture and that's why Browser shows Timeout.
I even followed instructions suggested by #vortex and got little success but not what I am looking for. Why I could not implement cURl because My process function is Creating required XML files at one go so it's taking too much time to output to Browser. As Process function is taking that much time no output is possible to assign to client unless and until it get completed.
cURL Output:

But right now no answer fixed my question but little bit. Hakre's answer is also more detail in case of person finding for more details about this type of issues.
assuming you made all the server side modifications so you dodge a server timeout [i saw pretty much everyting explained above], in order to dodge browser timeout it is crucial that you do something like this
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ob_implicit_flush(TRUE);
ob_end_flush();
I can tell you from experience that internet explorer doesn't have any issues as long as you output some content to it every now and then. I run a 30gb database update everyday [that takes around 2-4 hours] and opera seems to be the only browser that ignores the content output.
if you don't set "ob_implicit_flush" you need to do an "ob_flush()" after every piece of content.
References
ob_implicit_flush
ob_flush
if you don't use ob_implicit_flush at the top of your script as I wrote earlier, you need to do something like:
<?php
echo 'dummy text or execution stats';
ob_flush();
within your execution loop
1. I am running BIG memory process but have divided memory load into smaller chunks so no CPU time out issue.
Now that's a wild guess. How did you find out it was a CPU time out issue in the first place? Did you even? If yes, what does your test now gives? If not, how do you test now that this is not a time-out issue?
Despite you state there won't be a certain issue, you don't proof that and many questions are still open. That invites for guessing which is counter-productive for trouble-shooting (which you are doing here).
What you write here just means that you wrote code to chunk memory, however, this is not a test for CPU time out issues. The one is writing code the other part is test. Don't mix the two. And don't draw wild assumptions. Issues are for the test, otherwise it didn't happen.
So much for your first point already just to show you that when doing troubleshooting, look for facts (monitor, test, profile, step-debug) not run assumptions. This is curcial otherwise you look in the wrong places and ask the wrong questions.
From what you describe how the client (browser) behaves, this is not a time-out-issue per-se. The problem you've got is that the answer between the header response and the body response is taking to long for the taste of your browser. The one browser is assuming a time-out (as such a boundary value has been triggered and this looks more correct to me) and the other browser is assuming somthing is coming up, why not save it.
So you merely have a processing issue here. Please consult the menual of your internet browsers (HTTP clients) which configuration values you can change to change this behavior. E.g. monitor with a curl-request on the command-line how long the request actually take. Then configure your browser to not time-out when connecting to that server under such an amount of time you just measured. For example if you're using Internet Explorer: http://www.ehow.com/how_6186601_change-internet-timeout-options.html or if you're using Mozilla Firefox: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=102322&start=0
As you didn't show any code on the server-side I assume you want to solve this problem with client settings. Curl will help you to measure the number of seconds such a request takes. Use the -v (Verbose) switch to obtain detailed information about the request.
In case you don't want to solve this on the client, curl will still help you to measure important data and easily reproduce any underlying server-related timing issue. So you should go for Curl on the command-line in any case, especially as looking into response-headers might reveal what triggers the (again) esoteric internet explorer behavior. Again the -v switch does reveal you request and response headers.
If you like to automate such tests with a PHP script, it's also possible with the PHP Curl Extension. This has been outlined in:
Php - Debugging Curl
The problem is with your web-server, not the browser.
If you're using Apache, you need to adjust your Timeout value at httpd.conf or virtual hosts config.
You have 3 pages
Process - Creates the XML files and then updates a database value saying that the process is done
A PHP page that returns {true} or {false} based on the status of the process completion database value
An ajax front end, polling page 2 every few seconds to check weather the process is done or not
Long Polling
I have had this issue several times, while reading large csv file and puting it in database. I solved it in way, that i divided the reading and putting in database process into smaller parts. Like i created a new table to make log of how much data is readed and inserted, and next time the page reloads itself and start from that position. So you can do it by creating one xml in one attempt,and reload page and start form next one. In this way the memory used by browser is refreshed.
Hope it will help.
Is it possible to send some output to browser from the script while it's still processing, even white space? If, then do it, it should reset the timeout counter.
If it's not possible, you have to increase the timeout of IE in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
You need ReceiveTimeout, if it's not there, create it as dword, and set the value in miliseconds.
What is a "CPU time out issue"?
The right way to solve the problem is to run the heavy stuff asynchronously, in a seperate session group (not the webserver process tree).
Try to include set_time_limit(0); in your PHP script page.
The following links might help you.

How to configure logrotate with php logs

I'm running php5 FPM with APC as an opcode and application cache. As is usual, I am logging php errors into a file.
Since that is becoming quite large, I tried to configure logrotate. It works, but after rotation, php continues to log to the existing logfile, even when it is renamed. This results in scripts.log being a 0B file, and scripts.log.1 continuing to grow further.
I think (haven't tried) that running php5-fpm reload in postrotate could resolve this, but that would clear my APC cache each time.
Does anybody know how to get this working properly?
I found that "copytruncate" option to logrotate ensures that the inode doesn't change. Basically what is [sic!] was looking for.
This is probably what you're looking for. Taken from: How does logrotate work? - Linuxquestions.org.
As written in my comment, you need to prevent PHP from writing into the same (renamed) file. Copying a file normally creates a new one, and the truncating is as well part of that options' name, so I would assume, the copytruncate option is an easy solution (from the manpage):
copytruncate
Truncate the original log file in place after creating a copy,
instead of moving the old log file and optionally creating a new
one, It can be used when some program can not be told to close
its logfile and thus might continue writing (appending) to the
previous log file forever. Note that there is a very small time
slice between copying the file and truncating it, so some log-
ging data might be lost. When this option is used, the create
option will have no effect, as the old log file stays in place.
See Also:
Why we should use create and copytruncate together?
Another solution I found on a server of mine is to tell php to reopen the logs. I think nginx has this feature too, which makes me think it must be quite common place. Here is my configuration :
/var/log/php5-fpm.log {
rotate 12
weekly
missingok
notifempty
compress
delaycompress
postrotate
invoke-rc.d php5-fpm reopen-logs > /dev/null
endscript
}

How to view PHP or Apache error log online in a browser?

Is there a way to view the PHP error logs or Apache error logs in a web browser?
I find it inconvenient to ssh into multiple servers and run a "tail" command to follow the error logs. Is there some tool (preferably open source) that shows me the error logs online (streaming or non-streaming?
Thanks
A simple php code to read log and print:
<?php
exec('tail /var/log/apache2/error.log', $error_logs);
foreach($error_logs as $error_log) {
echo "<br />".$error_log;
}
?>
You can embed error_log php variable in html as per your requirement. The best part is tail command will load the latest errors which wont make too load on your server.
You can change tail to give output as you want
Ex. tail myfile.txt -n 100 // it will give last 100 lines
See What commercial and open source competitors are there to Splunk? and I would recommend https://github.com/tobi/clarity
Simple and easy tool.
Since everyone is suggesting clarity, I would also like to mention tailon. I wrote tailon as a more modern and secure alternative to clarity. It's still in its early stages of development, but the functionality you need is there. You may also use wtee, if you're only interested in following a single log file.
You good make a script that reads the error logs from apache2..
$apache_errorlog = file_get_contents('/var/log/apache2/error.log');
if its not working.. trying to get it with the php functions exec or shell_exec and the command 'cat /var/log/apache2/error.log'
EDIT: If you have multi servers(i quess with webservers on it) you can create a file on the machine, when you make a request to that script(hashed connection) you get the logs from that server
I recommend LogHappens: https://loghappens.com, it allows you to view the error log in web, and this is what it looks like:
LogHappens supports kinds of web server log format, it comes with parses for Apache and CakePHP, and you can write your own.
You can find it here: https://github.com/qijianjun/logHappens
It's open source and free, I forked it and do some work to make it work better in dev env or in public env. That is:
Support token for security, one can't access the site without the token in config.php
Support IP whitelists for security and privacy
Sopport config the interval between ajax requests
Support load static files from local (for local dev env)
I've found this solution https://code.google.com/p/php-tail/
It's working perfectly. I only needed to change the filesize, because I was getting an error first.
56 if($maxLength > $this->maxSizeToLoad) {
57 $maxLength = $this->maxSizeToLoad;
58 // return json_encode(array("size" => $fsize, "data" => array("ERROR: PHPTail attempted to load more (".round(($maxLength / 1048576), 2)."MB) then the maximum size (".round(($this->maxSizeToLoad / 1048576), 2) ."MB) of bytes into memory. You should lower the defaultUpdateTime to prevent this from happening. ")));
59 }
And I've added default size, but it's not needed
125 lastSize = <?php echo filesize($this->log) || 1000; ?>;
I know this question is a bit old, but (along with the lack of good choices) it gave me the idea to create this tiny (open source) web app. https://github.com/ToX82/logHappens. It can be used online, but I'd use an .htpasswd as a basic login system. I hope it helps.
