In order to increase the acceptance of the website so that more researchers can deal with the subject, the response time for inquiries is to be reduced. This paper looks at the different layers of the application and the respective optimization options. A purely technical approach is chosen here, which is checked and evaluated using script-based measurements. The effects of the different caches, the query languages, a conversion of the queries to materialized views and the optimization possibilities of the queries are considered. views and the optimization possibilities of the queries. It can be seen that the levels have different optimization options and that the caches are the simplest type of optimization, but instead require additional resources in terms of working memory. Converting the materialized view, including combining the underlying data into one line, shows the greatest potential for optimization. The processing time can also be reduced by converting the queries, but this is not very decisive due to the larger proportion of the ORM mapper. \end{otherlanguage}
