Presta 1.4.4.0 Slow

[rock_on]

Looking for some advice on loading speed. I have Prestashop 1.4.4.0 and it continues to load slow with all the different changes I have tried in the forums. I don't believe it's my server because I have other Drupal sites that load fine. The interesting thing I find is that it take a long time to load, but when it does it comes in fine and other pages work fine. I ran it on WebPageTest and the First Byte Time is really slow, 8 secs. I have:

 

Force Compile - No

Cache - Yes

CCC CSS - On

CCC JavaScript - On

CCC Minify HTML - On

CCC Compress Inline JavaScript - On

Ciphering Mcrypt

Use Cache - Yes

File System Depth 1

Here is how you can see your server's actual performance. If you can, put the shop on maintenance. In /override/classes/ directory there are four class files whose names start with an underscore, '_'. Rename them to remove the underscore, (so they will be overriding the usual production classes). Now when you load your shop, every page will be instrumented with various performance information. This will give you a good indication of your server's suitability and what you can tweak to improve performance. Add the underscore when you are done to revert to normal. Note that this is development feature, do this only if you are comfortable tinkering with your server.
