Slow response time #172

Closed hivefi closed 8 months ago

hivefi commented 10 months ago

I have installed searxng-docker on a vserver with Ubuntu. It's functional and all. But the response time after a search query can be several seconds and it. It's noticeable slower than many public searxng instances. what can be the reason behind this?

Your vserver has only few cores and hence async requests don't work well
You have more engines enabled than the public instance you're comparing with
Your vserver is located somewhere in the nowhere

I am running it on a 5600G CPU with 32GB RAM locally in my local network, and I can confirm that it sometimes can be slow. I am currently trying to observe where the waiting time is coming from.

I am using the default engine setup. I thought maybe it could be DNS resolution being slow but... So yeah, something's odd.

You should all check your DNS configuration. Check if ALL the DNS servers configured respond in a reasonable time, if there is no dead DNS server configured.

At invidious we had countless people having slow response time and a correlation with bad DNS servers:
