rturner Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm still building my site with PS 1.4.5.1. I'm noticing that in my largest main category so far (over 400 products) it runs very slow. If you click a thumbnail, the product page comes up about 5 seconds later. In the much smaller subcategories (~30 products) they're much faster, about 2 seconds from clicking the thumbnail to getting the page. It would seem a no-brainer to me that the database is working a lot harder to pull up 400 products and 21 pages in a big category and it's a lot less work to pull up a subcategory with only 20 products and 2 pages. I'm thinking that this is fairly common and wondering what others are doing. I've seen some sites where there are about 4 main categories on the top horizontal link, women, men, etc. When you click one, about 30 subcategories show up in the side column, all with just a few products. I could most likely figure out how to make that change. I've got memcached installed on my vps. The large category is here: http://www.ecg.com/new/en/33-nature Any advice appreciated.
