Performance Tuning
We approaches performance tuning as a platform discipline—diagnosing bottlenecks across architecture, configuration, and runtime behaviour to restore stability, scalability, and predictable performance at enterprise scale.restore stability, scalability, and predictable performance at enterprise scale.
Common Liferay Performance Challenges We Address
Performance degradation in Liferay typically emerges from accumulated architectural, configuration, and operational decisions—not from a single failing component. Our performance engagements focus on identifying systemic constraints and restoring platform balance so Liferay performs consistently.
Unpredictable Page Response
We address experience slowdowns caused by rendering overhead, asset delivery inefficiencies, and request-processing bottlenecks—ensuring consistent response.
Data Access Inefficiencies
We identify and correct database interaction patterns that limit throughput, including query behaviour, indexing strategy, and transactional load.
Resource Utilisation Imbalance
When CPU, memory, or thread resources are over-consumed, platform stability suffers. We rebalance resource utilisation to restore predictable runtime behaviour.
Scaling Constraints Under Load
We resolve limitations that surface during peak usage by aligning caching strategies, clustering models, and deployment topology with Liferay’s scalability patterns.
Search & Indexing Bottlenecks
We stabilise indexing behaviour and optimise search execution to ensure fast, reliable discovery across content-heavy platforms.
Operational Performance Instability
When compute resources are overstressed, platform reliability degrades. We optimise resource allocation to restore stability and consistent runtime performance.
Measured Platform Improvements
After Liferay Performance Tuning
Our tuning engagements are designed to produce measurable improvements that enterprises can rely on long-term.
Consistent User Experience
Improved response times and reduced latency ensure users experience predictable, smooth interactions across the platform.
Scalable Platform Behaviour
We align the platform to handle growth confidently, ensuring Liferay scales without degradation as traffic, content, and integrations increase.
Production-Ready Load Assurance
Through controlled load validation, we confirm the platform performs reliably under real-world enterprise usage scenarios.
Efficient Data Processing
Optimised data access patterns improve throughput and reduce contention, enabling the platform to support transactional workloads.
Aligned Platform Configuration
Liferay configuration is tuned to match how the platform is actually used—ensuring resources are allocated appropriately.
Optimised Server & Runtime Behaviour
Application and web server configurations are refined to maximise throughput, improve concurrency handling, and runtime contention.
Resilient & Fault-Tolerant Operations
The platform is structured to recover gracefully from failures, reducing downtime and improving overall system reliability.
Optimised JVM Performance
Runtime behaviour is stabilised through controlled memory management and garbage collection strategies aligned with enterprise workloads.

Execution Areas
We focus on the runtime, configuration, and architectural layers that directly influence platform behaviour under enterprise workloads.
JVM Memory Tuning
Optimize heap memory, adjust GC threads, and tune memory usage for peak JVM performance.
JVM Memory Tuning
- Optimize heap sizing (initial, max)
- OConfigure garbage collectors & GC threads
- Adjust Metaspace & thread stack size
- Generate heap dumps for debugging
- Use tools like JVisualVM, JConsole
Code Optimization
Improve code efficiency and reduce CPU overhead for faster execution.
Liferay theme optimization
