The setting "Maximum time limit" lets you restrict the maximum PHP execution time that Moodle will allow without any output being displayed. If you have a front-end server with its own time limit, set this value lower to receive PHP errors in logs.
Other site administration settings which may affect performance
Enable the language cache.
Large log files can cause overall performance to degrade over time. If you observe that the site has gradually got slower loading pages in the browser, reduce your Log life time setting in Administration > Site administration > Server > Cleanup
Check your filters. Having too many filters active can have serious effects on server load, especially on lower-end systems. The number of active filters has a direct effect on the perceived latency of your site; that is the time taken for each page impression. Check if any of the filters can be disabled. For example, if your site does not need to be able to display mathematical equations you can disable the MathJax filter.
Enable the text cache but do not "Filter all strings" unless you have a specific need. If in doubt profile the performance, and see how your changes affect the processing time.
Check your anti-virus measures on the server. Although they are useful for preventing security holes being exploited, some "On-Demand" scanners can affect performance by scanning page content (word, ppt files etc.).
Check your forum settings. To improve performance set forum_trackreadposts = No and forum_usermarksread = Yes (this will impact on the convenience of your users' forum experience). Also consider setting the time of the day when old posts are cleared from the read table (forum_cleanreadtime) to when your site is less busy.
Don't use database sessions unless you really need them. On-disc sessions tend to be much faster.
config.php settings which may affect performance
Increasing the value of CONTEXT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE may reduce the number of database queries for certain pages. It will also increase memory usage, so be careful.
// Moodle 2.3: Increasing this from the default saved about > 1000 db queries on the course/index.php page for // a Moodle having 1250 course categories.// This value is specified in lib/accesslib.php, but it's OK to add a define for it in config.php:define('CONTEXT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE',7500);
Note: The fastest and most effective change that you can make to improve performance is to increase the amount of RAM on your web server - get as much as possible (e.g. 4GB or more). Increasing primary memory will reduce the need for processes to swap to disk and will enable your server to handle more users.
The performance overview report in Site administration > Reports > Performance overview lists issues which may affect performance of the site. For each of the issues, it is possible to edit the setting by clicking the icon and either enable or disable it.
Check your Moodle site performance with the Benchmark Moodle plugin. Once installed from the plug-ins directory, the benchmark report can be accessed by clicking the 'Reports' section of the Site administration page and selecting the 'Benchmark' option.
To change this setting, with your mouse, right-click over the Windows desktop and select "NVIDIA Control Panel" -> from the NVIDIA Control Panel, select the "Manage 3D settings" from the left column -> click on the Power management mode drop down box and select "Prefer Maximum Performance".
Some of the key features of Moodle-based LMS include course management, user management, course content management, communication tools, assessment and grading, and reporting and analytics.
Moodle - Can professors see what you do on Moodle? Course logs in Moodle provide professors with the ability to monitor when and which resources or activities students engage with. This allows professors to verify if a specific student has accessed a particular resource or participated in a certain activity.
Moodle itself cannot detect whether a student is cheating. However, it can easily be integrated with external tools that allow you to keep a closer eye on your students. It also gives you access to student activity logs through which you can keep tabs on suspicious behavior.
