Am working over it

[dauntlessnomad]

https://keralarescue.in/dmodash/ .. has the stats but a volunteers count in the main page would be nice

[vigneshhari]

Make sure it's not db intensive, if its on the main page

[sreenadh]

The total count is calculating in the below page for pagination purpose. Show the total there. One more thing, make the search filter "district" mandatory, otherwise, it will count the entire 75600 records from DB which is not necessary.

Is this okey? Everything is cached!

[sreenadh]

@jerinisready How is the cache invalidated?

what about applying view caching accross this data?

[jerinisready]

?

with default timeout! should i manually invalidate with updation on creation of records??

[sreenadh]

Yes. The cache should be invalidated on every update/creation of records.

Does showing the count on the home page really useful?

@sreenadh Probably this will take a lot of public interest. what about continuing communication at slack? share handles here @sreenadh @vigneshhari @tomahawk-pilot. so that we can take care of more issues now! including optimization.

[sreenadh]

@sreenadh all we need is a volunteer count somewhere in the main site. just to boost morale and more people will signup
