I've tried so many hours to increase my website's speed but my head is against the wall right now. I dispersedly need your help
This is what I did:
I've increased memory speed to 128M and in the back office I choose these options
Force compile: NO
Cache:Yes
Smart cache for CSS: Use CCC for CSS.
Smart cache for JavaScrip:Use CCC for JavaScript.
Minify HTML: Keep HTML as original
Compress inline JavaScript in: Compress inline JavaScript in HTML after "smarty compile" execution
High risk HTML compression: HTML is compressed but cancels the W3C validation (only when "Minify HTML" is enabled)
Use cache: enable
Caching system: file system
Directory depth: 1
I've generate new .htaccess file! as well
Also, there is a warning : "To use Memcached, you must install the Memcache PECL extension on your server.http://www.php.net/manual/en/memcache.installation.php", and I have no freaking Idea how to install this extension? Is there in command that I have to add to my PHP.ini ? I contact my host provider and they told me I have to contact prestashop, unfortunately nobody from prestashop get back to me in this regard..
my prestashop ver is PrestaShop™ 1.4.8.2 and i didn't upgrade because of my theme, I'm not sure if it's compatible with new version or not. www.21avenue.com/ PHP 5.3, Host netfirms.com
Please rescue this newbie thank you so much
