Performance & Timeouts: Preventing “Frozen Browser” and Long Operations Print

  • 0

Why This Happens

Backups (especially remote uploads) can be large and time-consuming. If actions run synchronously in the browser, the admin page may appear frozen or time out.

Symptoms

  • Browser “spins” for a long time
  • Timeout after a short server limit
  • Upload completes, but UI does not update

Recommended Fixes

  • Increase PHP max_execution_time (where safe)
  • Increase PHP memory_limit for large archive creation
  • Prefer running heavy operations via cron/queued tasks (if your version supports it)
  • Use smaller test backups when validating new providers

Tip

If an action completed but the UI did not update, refresh the page and verify in the provider UI.
