i am still learning about the module and hook concept. i find that it is quite complex to even customize a module to attach to a new hook, if it does not exist yet. Pardon me, but i try to look into opencart, it seems fairly simple. I'm still at the evaluation phase therefore I tend to compare a lot.

Sounds good. I will consider the cache module. it is the only existing dedicated server I can install prestashop. Unless I can convince my client to subscribe a linux server, i do not have the luxury to try and run a comparison benchmark test. do you think the performance will improve significantly?

may i know which version has bug? i'm using 1.6.0.9 and wish to try all methods to improve the speed of my website

Thanks for the tips. Does the html cache module mostly rely on browser cache? I'm just wondering if it can improve the loading when user first time access a particular page.

Hi experts, I have just setup a prestashop 1.609 instance in a dedicated server and did some performance finetuning. It runs considerably fast now but i'm not sure whether there is still room for improvement with the current hardware specs. I was pretty happy with the result until when i also installed another cart, opencart, the sake of comparison, i notice it is blazing fast as compared to prestashop. Below are the current configurations and profiling results. Notes: Only the default sample products are installed, but I'm using a paid template. Any thought? Window Server 2008 R2 Intel Xeon CPU E5 1.8GHz (2 processors) 32 GB RAM WAMP with fastcgi and opcache enabled. zlib.output_compression = On zlib.output_compression_level = 6 Smarty cache enabled in prestashop.
