Describe the bug

Page already cached in browser, loading new page, or refreshing, page takes about 2 seconds to load, and action.php is invoked multiple times. Browser waterfall reports load times of action.php ranging 800ms to 2s.

Steps to reproduce

It happens every time on load, once it is already cached. Just go to page and it happens immediately.

Expected behavior

I'm of the understanding the total page load time at this point should be in the realm of about 400ms, so this increases the total load time by about 200%-500%.

This is a continuation from #2427 as @stickz recommended I create a new issue for the load performance I saw for action.php.

Try setting RU_REMOVE_CORE_PLUGINS to false on the docker install script. This will enable httprpc which is faster than rpc. It uses JSON instead of XML to communicate with the web browser. There is a slight overhead, but it may be worth it.

@BloodyIron I'm waiting for a follow up. Anther possible cause is requiring a SSL certificate attached to a domain name to properly cache files in your web browser. 500ms is very optimistic and requires a perfect configuration.

@stickz sorry, life stuff, haven't had the time to properly re-test it yet and I will when I do. Hopefully in the next handful of days.

I am using a Let's Encrypt proper cert for the FQDN for the webGUI, served as part of the k8s Deployment via nginx Ingress.

Sounds good. The latest docker image has a more optimized curl build now. This could help reduce loading times as well.

setting RU_REMOVE_CORE_PLUGINS to false

has not sped things up at all :(

getplugins.php is taking ~6.6 seconds now :/ and I also had to re-check all my torrent files after clearing the disable list... that was very long

[BloodyIron]

Also, sorry for the delayed response to try this. Life stuff.
