spott Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi allMany PrestaShop users claims that Presta is really slow. Now I am with them. I open my new shop with PrestaShop - all works fine - except - is really slow. Costumers claims it also!This is not server issue or connection speed issue - I have different servers all over the world and I set up same store (copy of original) to each server - and the results are the same.Something is really wrong with Presta. I search all over forum and try d everything what I fond. Still the same.I cant use the PrestaShop smarty cashe - this doesn't work - its shows only first product and thats all - its impossible to use the site.So has some one ideas - how to speed up PrestaShop.My site - http://netikink.eu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spott Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I found one problem now - and this is not related with PrestaShop.My main company website is right now down. Server crash... But it was RSS feed from this server - and this slow down drastically my website. And I think, that at other times also - there was not so good connection between these servers.

prestabase Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Prestashop is a very fast ecommerce platform. I agree with your second post, it would not have anything to do with PrestaShop, but your servers that were causing the performance issues. If your store is still slow, try running a trace route to see where the lag begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masino Sinaga Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I cant use the PrestaShop smarty cashe - this doesn't work - its shows only first product and thats all - its impossible to use the site. I think PrestaShop is FAST since it used smarty. If you see the files that being generated in \tools\smarty\compile\ , then it should be faster rather than if not using this technique. You should chmod this sub directory to 755 or 777.I think, this technique is similar with cache technique. But, honestly, I don't know why sub directory \cache\ always empty, whereas the sub directory \compile\ have the php compiled file in order to make your store accessed faster. Just my curious. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masino Sinaga Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Got it! :cheese: It's because var $caching = 0; in order to use cache technique, it should be: var $caching = 1; ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdeG Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hello Masino,I changed the code of var-caching too. It looks like to work.... Thanks for the tip!Only one question: When I start my shop at a fresh and clean internet explorer.The first page is a white screen during loading (about 2-3 seconds) of the site.After the first page "stands" on the screen, PS is fast as always.Do you know a tric to fasten this? Or has it also to do with caching??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Got it! :cheese: It's because var $caching = 0; in order to use cache technique, it should be: var $caching = 1; ;-) I was wondering where did you make this change? What file and directory? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdeG Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 You can change the default in: Smarty.class.phpSucces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 You can change the default in: Smarty.class.phpSucces! Hi. Thanks for your response. I am getting very strange things happening when I try to enable caching especially in the smarty.config.inc.php. Please see here: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/19505/installation_configuration___upgrade/smarty_template_caching_bugAny ideas? Thanks.

MdeG Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Is the chmod for the directory ok? Set it (temp) on 777You can try it al least...Further, I don't have errors after changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for responding. Yeah, the permissions are okay, in fact, when I enable the caching in the config it generates the tpl cached files right away. Problem is, as soon as this happens, really weird stuff happens on my site. For example, I will click on a product link and it will show the correct url for that product in the address bar but it will show the same product page. All so all the meta tags are messed up as there is some strange combination of information in them. LOL. I am using 1.1.0.5 and have sef urls activated. But, I have not made any changes to core fills, only CSS, that's it. So it is basically just like the default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdeG Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hello Bleep,It's funny how PS works sometimes.... But I don't know the answer to solve this.I also use the last stable version of PS. With some grafic modules and changed CSS.(But some other modules I can't use...)Like I said, it's funny! But we can live with it.

first1 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 to be honest i think that enabling the cash is slowing it down, especially if you use ssl.but that is only my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks for all your comments guys. You're right, I can live without the caching. I didn't notice much a difference either. I'll probably just leave it for now, and maybe mess with it again with 1.2 stable, perhaps. Anyways, thanks for your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallacept Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 change var $caching=0 for var $caching=1, but my store slow the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davet85 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 This made a huge difference to my site, the first page load is is still fairly slow, but after that linking to product pages etc is instant - a massive improvement on before, thanks for contribution!

sm3004 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Holy crap, this made a huge difference, I assumed it was automatically set to cache! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezloyd Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Seriously... why was this setting not made obvious in the installation notes! It has made a massive difference to my site opalmine.comI've been wondering why it loads slowly for 2 months and found this thread by accident when i was looking for other info.Are there any downsides to having this option turned on? If i update a product does the old info stay in the cache for a certain amount of time?Just need to know for when i do updates. I have NO intention of turning this option off, i just want to know how to work around it if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
