GitLab Loading very slow, no CSS Style
Created by: IsNull
Version and environment
- Server Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
- GitLab version 2.9 (however the problem was present in any version so far)
- using nginx
- it runs on port 8010, so I access GitLab over http://mysite.com:8010
- on the same server, there is an apache server running, on default port 80
Problem CSS loads very slow or doesn't load at all
Very often the first visit of my GitLab page will result in a page not completed properly. GitLab loads very slowly (up to 30 seconds) showing a blank site. After a while, the site is there - or it times out - , but mostly it shows the html without the CSS applied.
However, if I let display the current page source while its loading and showing me the blank screen, it shows all the html. I figured out that the following two css/js files seem to be the root cause:
<link href="/assets/application-d4272f27faa28dc3e7c76255f240021d.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="/assets/application-2eb4dd0081641b1a18880a0f7dd4b97f.js" type="text/javascript"></script>If I access any of the above URL it loads very long or times out.
After the initial load, the site works fine and responds very fast for the ongoing session. (I assume that the css/js has been cached for that time)
Are those cryptic names "application-d4272f27faa28dc3e7c76255f240021d.css" auto generated files?
Any idea whats causing the problem? If you need any more information or logs just shout! :)
