Presta 1.4 Slow Loading 2-3 secs... Bottleneck found

[Zendoboi]

Hi Guys

 

I've tried to use Firebug (Net) and realize that browser waited about 2-3secs before it is render by the browser...

 

Therefore i went into my shell account and did a

 

time php category.php

 

indeed the PHP 'compiling' is slow...

 

All the Cache and CCC has been set to enabled, it should be compiling fast...

 

However... i further investigate using PHP xdebug

 

0.4507 16158064 -> is_array() /home/test/domains/test.com/public_html/beta/classes/Configuration.php:118

0.4507 16158064 -> key_exists() /home/test/domains/test.com/public_html/beta/classes/Configuration.php:118

0.4507 16131408 -> md5() /home/test/domains/test.com/public_html/beta/modules/paypal/paypal.php:63

0.4507 16131432 -> file_get_contents() /home/test/domains/test.com/public_html/beta/modules/paypal/paypal.php:62

2.3615 16131568 -> array_key_exists() /home/test/domains/test.com/public_html/beta/classes/Module.php:961

2.3615 16131880 -> is_callable() /home/test/domains/test.com/public_html/beta/classes/Module.php:709

2.3616 16131976 -> call_user_func() /home/test/domains/test.com/public_html/beta/classes/Module.php:713

2.3616 16132296 -> PayPal->hookRightColumn() /home/test/domains/test.com/public_html/beta/classes/Module.php:713

2.3616 16132976 -> CookieCore->__get() /home/test/domains/test.com/public_html/beta/classes/Cookie.php:230

 

 

The paypal line 62 is creating huge bottleneck... it took about 2 second to load that line

 

//$content = @file_get_contents('https://www.prestashop.com/partner/preactivation/preactivation-warnings.php?version=1.0&partner=paypal&iso_country='.Tools::strtolower(Country::getIsoById(Configuration::get('PS_COUNTRY_DEFAULT'))).'&iso_lang='.Tools::strtolower(Language::getIsoById(intval($cookie->id_lang))).'&id_lang='.(int)$cookie->id_lang.'&email='.urlencode(Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_EMAIL')).'&security='.md5(Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_EMAIL')._COOKIE_IV_), false, $context);

 

 

I commented it and the site compile in miliseconds now...

 

 

My question is...

 

What's the paypal preactivation all about? Is it useful?
