Slow page loads and unable fix

[MahmutGulerce]

Hi All;
First im sory for my english.
I have to say, Prestashop is the best e-commerce software on all open source free sicripts. Thanks PrestaShop team. But PrestaShop is very slow baceuse of modules or core system of script (i think).
I have already read same topics in this forum about slow page loads, and cant find any regular fix method. So my main page loads in 6-10 seconds now.
I want to share out my experiments for accelerate to Prestashop. I try to (main reasoning) disable modules. Yes.. fixed. super fast.. But some modules are required i cant use them as disable. For exmp. Categories, I have over 400 categories. I have to use it at the expense of lose 4 seconds per page loads. So this is not a regular fixing.

I use other open source softs. ex: joomla and analyse modules of joomla using cache. I think my categories module in presta always query mysql ps_categories, ps_categories_lang for any page request... But in joomla or mambo or drupal ext.. modules use cache and dont need long queries. Users can set update period of cache. One of my joomla site has 800 visitors, 10000 hits per day. But not query mysql 10000 times, only 8 times for a module.


But the main problem may is not about modules because my administrator office is slow too.

Eventual i underline that page loads problem shadows all advantages, and abilities of this great script. Because a slow site is boring and cant sell anything.

thanks presta team again...

Other experiments
the ioncube accelerator doesnt any change for speed for my catalog.
and if anyone uses some entegration with an external catalog system (ex; XML data share) (ex; i use arena) Manufacturers module must be disable. Because i have about 600 Manufacturers. And all of Manufacturers are in a select list.
In a topic about speed, i read that disable modules for stat. I did and it makes nothing.
I only know that the problem is the compiling time. But i dont now why ? A lot of Mysql queries or including modules and long jobs (show images and find which, prepare a block etc )or both ??

Yes as you say a little faster now. Thanks, this script (php-speedy) uses some cache for javascripts and css.

But main problem is php compile and/or php-sql data transmission.

I'll work on using cache for blocks which are on front pages.

Thanks Hackia.

What exactly did you change in php-speedy to make it work with presta ?

http://aciddrop.com/php-speedy/ here is an Installation manual. I removed bu as i remember u can use the calling code (require(’/home/my_site/public_html/aciddrop/php_speedy/php_speedy.php’) on theme header.tpl by use <?php ?> tags .
This script works for js and css files. U may see a little chance and may cant see any change as little as this .
Read hackia in this topic before use.

I analysed the PShop resource using on my VPS (virtual private server).
First; The memory (ram) usage of script work processes isn't enough big for say that "this is a memory problem";
and the CPU usage is very big. I try on a empty VPS container its working for single Pshop site than while iam requesting the main page, VPS CPU using gets +22.6 percent
Especially if you use Pshop in a server which has a cpu limit as my VPS u will complain for speed. This problem isnt only for Pshop. I find a few shop and real estate scripts thats new is include speed problem because of limited cpu.

browse all pages so smarty compile all .tpl files then open "/config/smarty.config.inc.php" around line 112

$smarty->force_compile = true; //Change this line to

$smarty->force_compile = false;
