“Why is my site slow?”
The answer to the question of performance is never an easy one. Performance constraints can arise for all kinds of reasons:
- Software mis-configurations
- Lack of appropriate indexes
- Inefficient query patterns
- Expanding data volumes
- Actual bottlenecks in the software
OpenGeo can explore your system set-up, your data, and your use patterns and help you make the most of your hardware and software.
And in the event that your system is actually exercising an inefficiency in the core software, OpenGeo has the open source experts to fix it.

Making Software Fast
Making fast software is a process of continuous observation and testing. Because making a system fast in one use-case does not guarantee it will be fast in other cases.
We regularly benchmark our software against competing products to see how we measure up in common use cases. Only by testing and measuring against other products can we see where our true strengths and weaknesses are.
