Because Liferay has an excellent performance reputation, we can make nonfunctional requirements a reality if Liferay is created in accordance with the criteria.
Employ high-performance servers that have good CPU, memory and disk space to manage Liferay’s workload.
Adjust server settings such as JVM heap size, garbage collection parameters and database connection pool settings for performance improvement.
Think about caching the static resources in a CDN and utilizing it to reduce server loads.
Enhance database schema and indexing in order to retrieve information more effectively.
To reduce the overhead of creating and closing database connections, use database connection pooling.
Database performance should be regularly monitored while SQL queries are optimized for better performance.
To lower the number of database queries and enhance response times among others, Liferay has incorporated caching mechanisms that include Entity Cache, Multi-Virtual Instance (MVI) Cache, and Portal Cache.
Various levels including application level, server level and CDN should offer caching for static and dynamic contents.
Optimize images, CSSs or JavaScript files to load faster.
Minify CSSs by concatenating them with other JavaScript files so as to reduce http requests numbers.
File sizes can be reduced therefore improving transfer speeds by enabling GZIP compression on a web server.
Store static resource locally in browsers through browser caching reducing server load.
Monitoring tools can help monitor metrics such as CPU usage, memory utilization or even response time on server.
These need to be identified so that necessary configurations can be done. Performance bottlenecks are main cause that affects how applications perform hence proper configurations must be undertaken in order to address these issues accordingly.
Careful analysis of logs and error reports will enable you to detect any problems before they become serious concerns for your platform’s users.
It is important for one to arrange content into manageable structures while optimizing images as well as media files besides using efficient content rendering techniques.
Implement content management best practices such as organizing content into manageable structures, optimizing images and media files, and using efficient content rendering techniques.
Improve the loading of big size datasets through employing methods of lazy loading and pagination that lower the page load times.
Optimize performance by tuning user interface elements like portlets, themes and layouts.
Cut back on use of complicated Javascript libraries or excessive DOM manipulation to improve rendering performance.
Use responsive design principles to ensure that sites perform well regardless of device or screen size.
To enable scalability and high availability of Liferay architecture it should be deployed in a clustered environment with load balancers and failover mechanisms.
Scaling horizontally will involve adding more server nodes to distribute the workload and handle increased traffic.
