svetaines1 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hi,Today, I got message from my client, what website made with Prestashop is to slow and because of that useless.I tried to check that issue and it is really true. Using Presta: 1.3.2 versionHost: networksolutions.comHere is result of test (at the moment website disabled):http://www.webpagetest.org/result/101026_9BP5/I already use some mod's from that thread provided by presta-dyr:http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/45000/development/slow_database_queries_identifying_and_fixing_dot_I must say, it helps a bitAlso, I made basic performance optimization: http://itcentralblog.com/?p=42it also helps a bitBut website still have quite slow response. My client have only ~ 200 products with 6 categories and 8 subcategories. So it is really small website. Please, help me improve loading speed. Every time, when I press new link, it take from 7 to 35 to completely load simple page! and 4-....xx second while browser start rendering. So I think it can be server or database queries related issueAlso, I enable cache var $caching = 1 , but tools/smarty/cache/ is empty. How can I check cache is working or not?Any advice will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svetaines1 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 I know what it is very serious and common problem with Prestashop. It is such slow, what become almost useless, but ... from websites showcase, I see what there are many websites made by Prestashop which have really great load time. So, there are solutions how to speed up Presta. Community please share them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBICO Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 For me it seems there might be a bug in the latest prestashop since it is so much more slow and unstable then 1.2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svetaines1 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 So you say, what it is better at the moment use 1.2.5?? Prestashop for me will be main commercial platform for shop creation, but I want to be sure, what that issue with long long load time possible to solve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastiann Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 It is probably your hosting company and not Prestashop that make the page slow. Or if you use a lot of external scripts like Facebook that can slow down the loading time. But the most common problem is that people take the chepeast hosting company Prestashop is one of the fastest solutions there is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebastiann Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I do not really know how to check it, but I have heard a couple of people having problem with slow sites using networksolutions.com. I use a swedish hosting company so I do not have anyone to recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBICO Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 sebastiann.. If you use a Swedish company and that is fast and reliable.. what is the company and how much do you pay for it?.. and off course.. does it work fast with latest prestashop?

sebastiann Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Of course, they are called Binero.se. I pay about 70 euros a year and I run the latest version and I believe it work fast. But there are a lot of hosting companies and it is hard to find the right one. If we think about SEO it is a bit negative to have a foreign server, or it use to be like that. Maybe Google changed that:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svetaines1 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yep I heard what better choose host in same country, where you would like to make your business.At the moment, it will be great to know is it server or Presta issue. Maybe someone know how to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaanders Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I have the same problem with 1.3.2I have to shops up. They are exactly the same, only verison of PS is different. One is 1.3.2 and the other one 1.2.5Both with 20 products and 2 categories.But the 1.3.2 take 3 times longer to load the first page. So as I see it its a PS problem, not a hosting problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hi I also had this problem. (Although it was the same in 1.2.5 and we are now on 1.3.2.3But I think it's a bit better now - what do you think?Have you tried following tips on the forums here such as compressing .css files?Regarding whether it is a hosting problem - I think you can get a good impression of this based on the backoffice speed (I have never had a problem with this - only front office)- Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
