ironboy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 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 = Onzlib.output_compression_level = 6 Smarty cache enabled in prestashop.

JPresta.com Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 A server that respond fast is very good but you can also try to optimise your theme to make it very fast to download, parse and render. Test your store with gtmetrix.com it will give you tips for optimisations. Also you can add an HTML cache module like mine (Page Cache) or Cache manager to speed the page generation.

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.

On first access Page Cache is using server cache, on second access of same user the browser cache is used. Both access are faster than without cache.

Dh42 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The biggest performance tip I can give without looking at the site is to use a linux server as opposed to a windows server. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironboy Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 On first access Page Cache is using server cache, on second access of same user the browser cache is used. Both access are faster than without cache. Sounds good. I will consider the cache module. The biggest performance tip I can give without looking at the site is to use a linux server as opposed to a windows server. 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?

Bill Dalton Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Dh42 also forgot to mention that he prefers Open Office over Microsoft Office. A mouse is for sissy's give me shell commands or give me death, right Dh42? Linux sucks. There is a reason the Windows Server is used by more web sites even though Linux is free. In the July 2014 survey we received responses from 996,106,380 sites. Microsoft gained 22 million sites this month, helping to increase its market share by 1.18 percentage points. Combined with a 1.78 point loss in Apache's market share, Microsoft is now the new market leader with a 37.5% share of all sites. http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2014/07/31/july-2014-web-server-survey.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 coming from tightly/loosely coupled mainframes...(ok, now they z boxes).. all the web hosting platforms ok, bluntly, suck. so does php... and developement tools...well it's the most contraining thing I heave ever seen...might as well be running basic on atari ave maria pues... my three cents...
