Further to my research on trying to speed up prestrashop I've written another smarty plugin. The stats seem to say it's worth while however I'm still working on it. All the javascript files in the header halt the shop from loading until they have been processed. if anyone has done the maths there are alow of files to download and alot of connections to the server required for this. Solution: I have written a smarty plugin that creates a single js or css file with the pramas you send. it creates a cached file with etags for quicker furture browseing. Either an array, list or single js or css file can be used. Usage is as follows: {cache js=js/tools.js,js/jquery/jquery.pack.js,js/jquery/jquery.easing.1.3.js,themes/intellishop/js/chrome.js} {if isset($js_files)} {cache js=$js_files} {/if} I'll be creating a ps mod website oneday for anyone wishing to donate towards my time developnig such improvements. Until than, just PM and I'll see what I can do to help wtith your shop.
