Remove show all from category page

[Mister Denial]

Hello,

 

when customers use show all on my main categories, this causes 200+ products to load, creating very slow loading pages, sometimes with 60+ seconds timing, even though I am on a powerful VPS.

 

As I know Google uses page speed to rank websites, and those slow "show all" pages really ruin my average page speed, I am considering removing the "show all" option.

 

But how?

 

Should I simply remove some lines from category.tpl ? What would the best way to do that be?

 

Thanks for your help and advice!

I'm having the same issue and found the solution. You need to open pagination.tpl

 

Around line 65 you'll find this section:

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default button exclusive-medium">
	                	<span>{l s='Show all'}</span>
	                </button>

Remove that and the show all button is gone.

 

Now I only need to remove the option to view more then the set number of items on a page.

Hi there,

 

thanks for the suggestion, I did the same thing and apparently it works - I just hope it does not adversely affect the bloacklayered module or anything else. I was not sure of that, hence the question on the forum. :-)
