Join me as I venture through creating a public Drupal website with all the features we'd ever dream of. This is bound to include some highs and lows, but we'll tackle this thing head-on! This will serve as a public repository to share the development progress of our new website, built on Drupal and hosted on Pantheon.

Slow performance on webforms #52

Closed ElliotFriend closed 9 years ago

ElliotFriend commented 9 years ago

I'm not sure if it's the webform module or if it's the SMTP module, but it's pretty slow and resulting in duplicate submissions because people are waiting forever.

We should investigate and resolve the trouble.

I'm definitely leaning towards SMTP being the culprit. Have been for a while.

I tested out SendGrid rather than routing these emails through Office 365. I saw a much better level of performance. I've changed our email provider to SendGrid on the Live site and we should see a lot better performance now.

I don't imagine we'll exceed the 400 emails per day cap for our free sendgrid account anytime soon, so that should be pretty well in hand.

I'm optimistic that this will drastically reduce the amount of duplicate submissions that we get. :+1:
