Nextcloud version : 21.0.1
Operating system and version: Ubuntu 18.04
Apache or nginx version : nginx 1.18.0.2-v.ubuntu.18.04+p18.0.33.0+t210104.1822
PHP version : 8.0
The issue you are facing:
The web interface of my NextCloud instance in incredible slow.
When I navigate between apps (eg from dashboard to files) the page sometimes loads longer than 10 seconds.
My server should have enough power (6 cpus, 12 gb ram, 500 mbit/s, ssd). The average cpu load is always below 1.3 and there is plenty of free ram.
I did a test with lighthouse on the files page and the result was devastating.
I tried a lot of the actions suggest at Server tuning — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation (like using MariaDB; enable caching, switching from apache to nginx and enable http2, tuning php-fpm), but they didn’t improve the speed of the application.
I also disabled talk for files.
I think the main problem is, that there are to many files downloaded (above 20 MB) and to much javascript running. One of the users complained, that his computer is nearly dying when he browses on the web frontend, because the page is so big.
Am I missing some switch to production mode or compress files setting somewhere? Or is there another reason, why the application is that slow?
The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:
The logging is spamming for a lot of apps (i have all on the newest stable version):
[files_sharing] Debug: /appinfo/app.php is deprecated, use \OCP\AppFramework\Bootstrap\IBootstrap on the application class instead.
And there are also some
Deprecated event type for OCA\Files::loadAdditionalScripts: Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\GenericEvent is used

And there are also this errors:
The only installation warning i have, is that php-imagick is missing. But this module doesn’t exist for php8.0. Switching to php7.4 removes this warning, but the application is still slow.
