My Prestashop Store Speed Time is 42/100, How can I improve it?

[jindalravi2012]

Hello All,
 
Hope you are doing great with Prestashop.
 
My website URL is http://univert.fr/
Currently, I test my website for speed on Google Speed Test, It shows the score 42/100 on Desktop and 34/100 on mobile. Its all because of bad server response time, Currently server response time is 5.1 seconds, and some other fixes needs to be done.
 
I don't know how to do it. Please check my website URL and let me know, How can I imporve my website speed.
Waiting for the expert replies.
 
 
Kind Regards,
Ravi Jindal

Have you got the cache settings enabled?

 

Preferences > Performance (tell us all the settings enables here)

 

How is the site hosted? Shared hosting? VPS? Private server?

[jindalravi2012]

I used VPS.

Yes, I have the Cache setting enabled.

I asked you to tell us all the settings on the page!

 

Anyway the only way to help probems like this if for you to give much more information

 

But as a starting point - have you actually looked at the help page that google site speed gives you to see what it suggests and try it?

 

Also try this webpage for a better breakdown

 

http://www.webpagetest.org/performance_optimization.php?test=150425_6B_B60&run=1&cached=0

 

As a starting point you you do not seem to have gzip enabled on your server

 

How much memory does your server have, how many cpus, what speed, how much disk space

 

Also you are requesting A LOT of images on the first page. For that, and for all the categories it could be over loading the mysql database (i believe questioning the database can have big effects on TTFB

 

So, do you really need all those photos and categories showing on the first page. Are all the pictures compresses as far as they can go. Can you increase server resources to enable it to cope with the big mysql requests

 

Lots to try, but fundamentally the issue is with your server and the size of the shop

for shop manager to have more 'insight' of where shop is slow..

 

open config/defines.inc.php

 

change this to true

define('_PS_DEBUG_PROFILING_', false);

visit your slow page(s) and capture profiling data the end of each ps page.

 

turn off when not profiling as all visitors will see this info, including back office.
