How many products can PrestaShop support?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I wonder what is the maximum number of products supported by Presta? I understand that the first set of limitations comes from the MySQL base ,but in operational terms, whichis a tunnel to cease? Is it possible to operate with millions of products? What are yours experiences? What is the max that you reached?

 

Cheers,

Aleksa

When you get that many products in your store the solutions aren't the same as regular stores. What are the specs of the machine it is running on? What o/s is the machine using? PHP version? Modules installed? To optimize a store with that many products you would have to be pretty through and pick everything apart with a lot of speed testing.

Hello.

Yes, i found the solution making test because no body said nothing..

the problem is that the indexation process needs a big amount of memory with such a big number of products.

What you have to do is to increase the memory dedicated for the php process in the php.ini.

And click add products to indexation when the process stops. You will have to click more than one time... in a few number of hours.

Good luck.

Hello again Poncho.

The problem you are going to find later a rendimient problem. So big amount of products made the shop slow.....

I´m working hard to solve it but i dont have "the answer" so solve it completely.

If you or anybody finds a solution for this matter, it will be wonderfull.

I had used this information.

http://www.prestasho...tashop-store-3/

 

My web page has today 260.000 products in Myisam DB.

 

Which engine are you using??

How is it doing??

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Oscar.

Hello Oscar,

 

I think you speak spanish as me, but ... :)

 

I am using the PS 1.5.3.1 default version engine, InnoDb, but i am testing my shop yet, ( I have not inserted all my products ... )

 

In other topic a moderator says this:

 

"InnoDB uses row-locking instead of table-locking, so I think it is the superior choice. It's also selected by default when you install, so I think it is what PrestaShop recommends. You can certainly set up test sites with each database engine to compare them, but I doubt the database engine would cause features to break"

 

you can view in this post:

 

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/86265-difference-innodb-and-myisam/

 

Also you can read this: (it is spanish, but your name is "Oscar" so ...):

 

http://www.jose-aguilar.com/blog/myisam-vs-innodb/

 

and diference between engines in MySQL webpage:

 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/storage-engines.html

 

... but i do not know which one is the best option ... :unsure:

 

People say InnoDB is better for writing and MyIsam for reading ... but ..

 

By the way, I see an engine that uses a CSV files :

 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/csv-storage-engine.html

 

May be this last option resolve all of our problems ??? (File of plain text usually are speedest). We will have to try if it is possible.

 

Thanks and regards.

I am using the latest version. 1.5.4.1

I have mass products imported via CSV. More then 45 000.

And more then 10 000 categories+sub categories.

 

Try disabling the following modules:

 

Categories block

New products block

Tags block

 

You will see the difference in 1.5.4.1

The number of categories and subcategories is impressive. What kind of hosting do you use?

I am using standard options of VPS hosting.

Yes youre right, especially my categories+sub c. are too many.

I did not want to be like that but nothing to do. I wrote several times in the forum but no solution.

My 3. and 4. level subcategories are the same in all main categories. But have different ID's.

For instance:

3. level: Clutch

4. level: Clutch Discs

 

Renault / Clio / Clutch / Clutch Discs

Renault / Kangoo / Clutch / Clutch Discs

....

Citroen / C1 / Clutch / Clutch Discs

Citroen / C2 / Clutch / Clutch Discs

...C3...

...C4...

 

Its only one example, please guess it, for all cars and models, I have to set the same 3. and 4. levels with different ID's.

For the solution I disabled the categories block module in modules page.

I am using an external category module that loads only the top-level categories, then dynamically loads the subcategories using AJAX only when needed.

 

I have to disabled Prestashops core categories block module to get performance of my site. Its ok.

But I do not understand that why enabling New products block and Tags block are freezing my websites front page.

 

Could you help me about this.

 

Regards
