How to speed up DirectAdmin email accounts list page
When you get to have several thousand email accounts in a DirectAdmin based server, the loading of the email accounts page may start to slow down. In this time, you have 2 options to speed it up again.
1. Disable quota counting for pop accounts page
To do this, edit the file at the path like below:
/usr/local/DirectAdmin/conf/DirectAdmin.conf
Search for the setting below, or edit the value behind it if it is already in the config file:
count_pop_usage=0
Whereby the number ‘0’ is disabled, the number ‘1’ is enabled.
After editing the config file, restart DirectAdmin
service DirectAdmin restart
Note that when this option enabled, the email account listing would not show the quota for each email accounts.
2. Enable email disk usage cache to speed up the pop accounts page
To implement a pop email disk usage caching option, edit the same file at the same path like below:
/usr/local/DirectAdmin/conf/DirectAdmin.conf
Search for the setting below, or edit the value behind it if it is already in the config file:
pop_disk_usage_cache=1
After editing the config file, restart DirectAdmin
service DirectAdmin restart
Conclusion
Managing a large number of email accounts on a DirectAdmin server can cause the email accounts page to load slowly. By either disabling quota counting or enabling email disk usage caching, you can significantly improve the page load times. Disabling quota counting will stop displaying individual email account quotas, whereas enabling disk usage caching will maintain this functionality while speeding up the page. Choose the option that best fits your needs to ensure efficient management of your email accounts
