Speed / Caching: What are the best modules? Best settings?

[rassy]

Hi guys,

 

when it comes to speed - what things to you reccon to make the prestashop 1.4 faster?

 

Have you heard about the following "Static HTML Cache" module? Does it work?

Thanks for your tips

Hi, my tips:

In PS: In performance settings: Force Compile OFF, Cache ON, Use cache: Memcached.

 

On server: install APC for php bytecode caching, install MemCached for query caching, optimize MySQL settings - use as much memory as you can afford, use INNODB.

 

Regarding Static HTML Cache module - yes it could work (have not tested this module), full page caching modules are available also for Magento, which is even slower compared to Prestashop, and it really works fine (you get full page in less then one second). But i'd be a bit afraid how it will cache non-ajax blocks in prestashop (eg. Last products,...) - ask author of the module whether modules(blocks) you need work or not.

Hi Jiri,

 

thanks a lot for your tipps!!! Yeah I am also afraid about the non-ajax blocks... I talked to the ebuildy-guys and they are actually working on a solution! :-) So this will be very interesting!

 

How about the MemCached? Does it handle non-static non-ajax blocks like "Last products"???

Hi everyone, please take a look at http://addons.prestashop.com/en/administration-tools/4633-Performance-Booster.html

This module fully caches the pages and, without initializing PrestaShop, provides your visitors with ready output that takes significantly less time to load.

aitoc, is your module not compatible to other versions? we run 1.4.7.3 and would like to test it.

Have you checked this module?

The demo page seems very fast, but have never heard of the developers :S.
