Problem

Page loads slowly when it contains a lot of links. At times, it may be fast for a while, then the performance starts to degrade again

Cause

The com.atlassian.confluence.pages.persistence.dao.PageDao.getPage() cache has a default expiry of 1 hour. This is further aggravated by this limitation: CONFSERVER-5494 - Improve page load time when it contains lots of links.

Resolution

For Confluence 5.9 and above:

  1. Extract the confluence-cache-ehcache-x.x.x.jar in your ConfluenceInstallation/confluence/WEB-INF/lib to a new directory

  2. Copy the ehcache-settings-defaults.conf file and put it in ConfluenceInstallation/confluence/WEB-INF/classes (after that, remove the directory you created in step 1)

  3. Add a new caching option called "verylarge-long-lived" and add it after the definition for "large":

    1 2 3 4 verylarge-long-lived = ${default} { max-entries = 10000, expire-after-access-secs = 86400 // a day }

  4. Look for the line containing the following name:

    1 com.atlassian.confluence.pages.persistence.dao.PageDao.getPage

    The "name" may or may not include the "()" after "getPage"

  5. Change the value of config from "default" to "verylarge-long-lived"

    If the line has a declaration for "expire-after-access-secs", remove it. The final modified line should look like the following:

    1 { config = ${verylarge-long-lived}, name = "com.atlassian.confluence.pages.persistence.dao.PageDao.getPage" }

    This should change the expiry of that particular cache to one day and will increase the maximum entries to 10,000. 

  6. Restart Confluence.

For Confluence 5.8.13 and before:

  1. Extract the confluence-cache-ehcache-x.x.x.jar in your ConfluenceInstallation/confluence/WEB-INF/lib

  2. Copy the ehcache.xml file and put it in ConfluenceInstallation/confluence/WEB-INF/classes (after that, remove all the extracted files from step 1)

  3. Look for this line:

    1 <cache name="com.atlassian.confluence.pages.persistence.dao.PageDao.getPage()" maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000" eternal="false" timeToIdleSeconds="3600" timeToLiveSeconds="0" overflowToDisk="false" />

  4. Change it to this:

    1 <cache name="com.atlassian.confluence.pages.persistence.dao.PageDao.getPage()" maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000" eternal="false" timeToIdleSeconds="86400" timeToLiveSeconds="0" overflowToDisk="false" />

    ( timeToIdleSeconds changed to 86400)

  5. Restart Confluence.

This should change the expiry of the cache to 1 day
