Server Settings > Request Tuning
Configure request tuning settings in ColdFusion Administrator
This section of the ColdFusion Administrator is particularly important for server performance. Therefore, the settings discussed here will have a direct impact on user experience.
Request Limits - Maximum Number of Simultaneous Template Requests
ColdFusion uses threads to process requests concurrently, allowing multiple users to access your application simultaneously. The default setting is 25 threads, but the optimal value for your environment can only be determined through rigorous load testing under realistic conditions.
Request Limits - Maximum Number of Simultaneous Flash Remoting Requests
This is an independent thread pool setting specifically for Flash Remoting requests. The default setting is 5 threads. This setting is only relevant if your application serves data to a Flash application.
Request Limits - Maximum Number of Simultaneous Web Service Requests
This setting controls the number of concurrent Web Service requests that ColdFusion can process. The default setting is 5 threads, but you will need to perform load testing to determine the optimal value for your specific use case.
Request Limits - Maximum Number of Simultaneous CFC Function Requests
This setting manages the thread pool for direct CFC function invocations. The default setting is 15 threads. The appropriate value depends on your application's API architecture and how frequently CFC functions are called directly.
Tag Limit Settings - Maximum Number of Simultaneous Report Threads
This setting manages concurrent report generation when using the cfreport tag. The default setting is 8 threads. Keep in mind that report generation can be resource-intensive depending on the complexity of your reports.
Tag Limit Settings - Maximum Number of Threads Available for CFTHREAD
This setting manages the thread pool for asynchronous processing using the cfthread tag. ColdFusion Standard edition is limited to 10 concurrent threads, while the Enterprise edition has no such limitation.
Queue Timeout Settings
This setting manages how long requests will wait in the queue before timing out. The default timeout is 60 seconds. You also have the option to specify a custom timeout page to provide a better user experience when requests are queued for too long.
