rturner Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I had checked all the easy optimization, compression tips I've found here, and my site was still slow so I followed a link from this forum and installed web-optimizer. Everything seemed fine until the very end of installation and I clicked "enable web-optimizer". After that, all I get from my site is 500 errors. I'm using Prestashop 1.4.5.1 and still building my new site in a subdirectory of the current old site. The broken prestashop new site is at http://www.ecg.com/new/ I'm on a vps at hostgator. I'm using the latest free version of web-optimizer and I couldn't find any issue in their troubleshooting that applied; I've enabled writability on the various files, etc. If anyone is using this and has an answer, I would appreciate it. I've got a site backup that's two weeks old. Of course the current new site is still there via ftp, but I'm not sure what web-optimizer changed at this point. Thx.

rturner Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 I at least got my site working again by restoring the old .htaccess and turning off the the compress options in config.webo.php. As far as the slow site I'm building, www.ecg.com/new/ , it's got about a 2 second lag every time you click a link. Not too bad except that my other site,www.custombelt.com/ loads very quickly. On the google sitespeed test, ecg.com/new continually gives me high priority errors: Enable compression, Inline Small CSS . The custombelt.com site has no high priority errors. I enabled all the ccc compression and generated optimized .htaccess on both sites. The site with the slowness is on a level 3 vps at hostgator with memcached installed (not currently enabled while I build), while the speedier site is on a cheap shared host at cloudweb.com. They have different templates.... I try to keep modules at a minimum on the slow site, and I've been checking the 2 or 3 third party modules I have installed with advice from the Pshop Performance guide at the great site, nethercottconstructions.com/ I'm using pshop 1.4.5.1 on the slow site, 1.4.6.2 on the custombelt.com site. I'm scratching my head. I had hoped that web-optimizer would solve the lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturner Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Turns out my vps did not have gzip compression enabled. After I installed that I got rid of the google site speed complaints about no compression. I've tweaked a few more things, working on inline small css now. It's not where I want it yet, but at least I'm getting results and not wondering why the compression isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabatford95 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Must better if you optimized your website in white hat technique methods.It is safe and surely it ranks in organic result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
