@joeyk, thank you for your reply. Like you suggested I found some resources and will try a couple of things. These resources are: > [@Performance problems with Mautic, 30+ second load time](https://forum.mautic.org/t/performance-problems-with-mautic-30-second-load-time/11783): > [https://joeykeller.com/knowledge-base-2/mautic-admin-guides/mautic-is-loading-slow-or-get-a-500-error/](https://joeykeller.com/knowledge-base-2/mautic-admin-guides/mautic-is-loading-slow-or-get-a-500-error/) [https://mtcextendee.com/2019/12/25/mautic-are-very-slow-15m-contacts/](https://mtcextendee.com/2019/12/25/mautic-are-very-slow-15m-contacts/) > **[PHP Session Locking: How To Prevent Sessions Blocking in PHP requests](https://ma.ttias.be/php-session-locking-prevent-sessions-blocking-in-requests/)** > > What I’ve found when talking about PHP session locking is that half my conversations revolve around “oh I remember PHP session blocking, it cost me a couple of days of my life but seriously improved my applications’ performance once I avoided them”... However I fail to see how installing stuff in a container would help (like it suggested in the post you mentioned). I will try some of the things I posted above first and hopefully get the results I am looking for. Have a nice day. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.mautic.org/t/how-to-speed-up-contact-search/20842)._
