Gitlab clone is extremely slow, what i should do?

Question

Result of the clone:

remote: Counting objects: 100% (250/250), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (215/215), done.
remote: Total 250 (delta 30), reused 250 (delta 30), pack-reused 0
Receiving objects: 100% (250/250), 3.47 MiB | **25.00 KiB/s**, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (30/30), done.

My problem is /gitlab v15.2.5/ clone speed only Kib/s,

It was alright few weeks ago. I checked my vps RAM and CPU usage: that was normal. What should I do?

Answer 1

As a workaround, consider a shallow clone, just to test if you can get an initial clone faster (with a lower depth).

But consider also, once you have finally cloned the full repository, identifying the largest commits in your repository Git history. Making sure you have trimmed the biggest file could help speed up the initial clone.
