Slow Coolify Dashboard Performance

If your Coolify dashboard loads very slow or some pages don't load at all, this might be the guide for you.

1. Determine Your Domain Setup

First, ask yourself: Are you using a domain whose DNS is managed by Cloudflare?

  • Yes: The issue is likely due to Cloudflare's Rocket Loader ↗ feature.
  • No: The slowdown might be caused by your server or another factor.

2. Test with Your Server's IP Address

A. Open Your Firewall Port

  • Step: Ensure that port 8000 is open on your firewall.
  • Why: This lets you access the Coolify dashboard directly without proxy interference.

B. Access the Dashboard Directly

  • Step: Open your web browser and navigate to:
    http://203.0.113.1:8000 (Replace 203.0.113.1 with your actual server IP address)
  • Observation:
    • If the dashboard feels fast and all pages load correctly, the issue is most likely with Cloudflare Rocket Loader ↗.
    • If performance doesn't improve, the problem could be related to your server's location or your internet speed.

3. Addressing Cloudflare Rocket Loader

If the dashboard is fast via your server IP but slow through your custom domain, try this:

  • Step: Log into your Cloudflare dashboard ↗.

  • Action:

    • Go to Speed on the sidebar.
    • Then navigate to Optimization and click on Content Optimization.
    • Switch the toggle for Rocket Loader to Off.
  • Wait: Allow a few minutes for the changes to take effect, then visit your Coolify dashboard using your domain.
