Hi guys,
We have a shop based on PrestaShop 1.6.1.24, with just over 115,000 products listed. This is hosted on a dedicated super fast server:
AMD EPYC 7451 24-Core Processor
Sandisk Corp WD Black 2018/PC SN720 NVMe SSD
256GB RAM 2666 MT/s
CentOS Linux 7.9
10.6.12-MariaDB - all tables are InnoDB.
FPM served by nginx/1.20.2 / php7
I've disabled most of the modules while testing, including Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, MailChimp etc. Updated the menu module to a newer version, enabled all the performance settings and installed a Caching module which seems to work great. I've also disabled the Apache mod_security as well.
While I'm aware this is a deprecated / not supported version of PrestaShop and while we're building the next iteration of the website on more modern technology, I'm trying to fix some issues with the super-slow times while updating a product and sometimes an order. Currently it takes over 30-40s to update a simple product and about 10s to update an order, eg adding a tracking number.
Any other ideas on what can be done to make this faster?
Thanks!
