Speeding up a Jira Cloud instance

[Yatish Madhav]

Hi

Post this question to see other Atlassian and community members' thoughts, suggestions, ideas and practices around speeding up a Jira Cloud instance for both Jira and Jira Service Management projects.

Eg. we have almost 1000 projects and almost 1 million issues ... Seems like a milestone. However, I wonder what others are doing around clean up, archiving, etc

As from the question title, also wondering the impact on the site performance if these project, scheme, issue, status numbers are so high ...

Thank you

Hi Yatish,

Definitely, you should archive any projects that are no longer active. And yes, high numbers like that will impact performance. Also, if you have a lot of custom fields that use just a global context then that will also affect performance.
