I tried your site in both Google Chrome and IE8, loaded right away in both with Chrome being a little faster.

You can try increasing your memory in Config.inc.ini, here is an example of mine.

 

 

/* Improve PHP configuration to prevent issues */

ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '100M');

ini_set('default_charset', 'utf-8');

ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', 0);

ini_set('memory_limit','128M');

 

Also try changng these settings under preferences/ performance:

 

Smart cache for CSS

Set to use CCC for CSS

 

Smart cache for JavaScript

Set to use CCC for Javascript

 

Minify HTML

Set to use Minify HTML after "smarty compile" execution

 

Compress inline JavaScript in HTML

Set to use Compress inline Javascript in HTML after "smarty compile" execution

 

High risk HTML compression

Leave as Keep W3C validation

 

If you are able to edit your php.ini through your host control panel try turning on zlib-compression here is an example of mine.

You will need to scroll the the file to find this part of the code and yours may vary. (I use Ipage)

 

 

Transparent output compression using the zlib library

; Valid values for this option are 'off', 'on', or a specific buffer size

; to be used for compression (default is 4KB)

; Note: Resulting chunk size may vary due to nature of compression. PHP

; outputs chunks that are few hundreds bytes each as a result of

; compression. If you prefer a larger chunk size for better

; performance, enable output_buffering in addition.

; Note: You need to use zlib.output_handler instead of the standard

; output_handler, or otherwise the output will be corrupted.

zlib.output_compression = On (this is off by default)

Dear Friend,

 

Thanks for paying attention. I am also using ipage hosting. But how to edit php file? Where I can found it?

Sign in to your account and go to control panel, click on CGI and Scripted Language Support, now click on PHP Scripting, you will see your PHP.ini.

Scroll through it and find the zlib section you can also increase your php memory here as well.

Hi Friend,

Dear Friend,

 

Can I have your website url? I wish to see page loading time. I just want to see whether I am only getting speed issue on ipage or there might be any changes I have to do.

 

Many Thanks

[tdr170]

You can try 96, 128 or 256 and make the same change to your config.inc.ini file.

Also change the zlib to on.

[Vilas]

Dear Friend,

 

Do you means to say the same size I have to enter in config file which I entered in php?

 

Please suggest.

 

Thanks

[tdr170]

Let's just say that's the way I configured mine, if I put 128 in php.ini I put 128 in config.inc.ini.

[Vilas]

Dear Friend,

 

I did same as per your suggestion but no improvement. I am only getting speed issue on ipage or there might be any changes I have to do.

 

Many Thanks

I am not sure what fast or slow may mean to you but the page loads fast for me. (3 seconds)

Try to clear your browser cache files and make sure force compile is off and cache is on in BO.

(preferences/ performance)

Hi Friend,

 

Actually from my end site takes approximately 1 minute. I tried different pc's but still issue is same. Also can u tell me which cache I have to enable? That option which is next to force compile is that? I have enabled that already.

 

Thanks

[tdr170]

Yes that is it, Not sure why site is slow on your end, from here it loads just fine.

Do you have issues with other sites loading slow.

Try my site is work in progress but may give us a clue.
