How to speed up Nextcloud?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

I'm trying to raise my personal cloud storage. Now I'm using Nextcloud 12 on a machine with this configuration:
Celeron G1610
RAM 4Gb
HDD: WD20PURX
Soft - Ubuntu Server 16.04/Apache 2.4/MySQL/PHP7
Everything works, but slowly. You open it through the browser - and waiting for a response hangs for a long time, then the frame (or what is it called correctly?) Nextcloud is drawn, but without folders, and the circle spins for a long time, then folders slowly appear. In general, it is impossible to use without irritation. Sometimes, however, it seems to "break through" and everything starts to load quickly. On what it depends - I did not catch the connection. Caching, https - everything is set up, there are no warnings in the admin interface. Iron resources are used minimally. Is it possible to somehow speed up the work?
PS I tried Seafile in a virtual machine - I really liked the speed and responsiveness, but alas, this is not an option, because. it is impossible to connect external folders in it, as in Nextcloud.

Answer 1

Have you tried updating Nextcloud to the latest version? I currently have 14, and recently released 15. And on my oldest hardware, it works pretty well. True, there are only two users. But the webcam comes off almost instantly.
