I observed a strange behavior when I deployed my CakePhp website on my ovh server (mutualized):

Response time seem to be ok (I have the webpage I asked for in less than a minute), but the browser seems to load again something.

Looking with the firefox web developer tools I see this is the html page reception that took every time exactly 5 seconds. The strange thing is that I can see all the content of my webpage during those 5 seconds.

The html page I've tested is 4ko. If I try to do a hard refresh (by ignoring firefox cache), all the images, css, js, fonts ... are loaded before the html page has been received.

I don't have this problem when I run the website on my computer, and I think its CakePhp related because I can access a html test page without this problem.

It doesn't seem to be linked to a specific layout / page : every page and layout I tried cause the same effects.

An other interesting point : I have tested some pages with pingdom and the 5 seconds reception time doesn't appear.

Does anyone experienced a similar issue ?

The problem was related to PHP-FPM optimization activated by default in OVH mutualized servers since 2014. I don't know why the problem appeared in my browser and not with pingdom, I will investigate further and edit if I have more informations.

To desactivate PHP-FPM you have to upload a .ovhconfig file at the root of your server with the following content :

app.engine=phpcgi
app.engine.version=AUTO

I will try to use both CakePhp and PHP-FPM and edit if I have a solution.
