We have been noticing that yesterday 15th Oct, the front end of our shop was performing well as normal, but when we logged into the backend of the same server the performance was really slow. Pages loading by the browser showing unloaded elements etc.
The difference was remarkable, yet its the same physical machine. I tried to look at the prestashop forums about this, but yesterday the prestashop website (this one) was down for a few hours.
This morning (UK time) the prestashop website is now back up, as I'm typing on this forum, and now the backend of my prestashop store is also performing normally again...Why is this??
Are there modules or processes that run in the backend that are trying to communicate with prestashop servers? if so, why and i would like to know which ones. Can anyone advise on this or has this been seen by anyone else?
Thanks
