CCC server - how to use, configure it

[adamus007p]

Since presta 1.4.x PS allow to use Media servers (used only with CCC)

 

I was trying to find on the forum/Internet/docs answer how to configure it, how to use it.

 

http://docs.prestash...ces-Performance

 

 

the explanation of CCC server is:

Media servers

 

Enable you to redirect part of your traffic (media files, for instance) to other servers under your control, through other domains or sub-domains.

 

I it not enough to me, so that is my question it, how it works and how to configure it?

 

 

1. Do i need clone my shop (all data and mysql database) on 2nd server and point there other domain or subdomain?

2. Do i need clone my shop (only data or some part of data, like img) on 2nd server and point there other domain or subdomain?

3. Can I point other domain or subdomain to my existing shop and it will increase also speed of loading my shop?

 

 

Please tell me how it is works and how to configure it.

Hi,

 

maybe you can find additional information here : http://www.nethercottconstructions.com/en/content/12-serve-static-content-from-a-cookieless-domain

 

1) media server is for static content (no need to clone sql)

2) I think only img and js

3) I would say probably, but not sure a 100%

[phrasespot]

2) I think only img and js

 

You think? Wow, a PrestaShop feature even a PrestaShop developer is not sure about. What chance do us mere mortals have?

Michael was very helpful for me. Thank you Michael.

 

 

I wrote email to 8 person who touched this module in SVN. I just serched in SVN by CCC and found people who touched this module. Now I am waiting for response. I sent emails yesterday, no response till now.

Only I have got response from Michael who is more engaged in SQL not in pure module. Thank you Michael for response.

 

It is quite impossible that nobody did not answer me. My email went to SPAM or my question has beed ignored or i don't know i need to buy beers

Maybe you Michael could help something in this issue internally?

 

 

PS. I saw this video and other and like he said he is not sure how it is works.

I think that nobody know...

 

I was searching in:

My webshop is currently running on the media server option because the cloudcache module isn't working like it should. I made 3 CDN's with SharedSSL option enabled in cloudcache and used the SharedSSL links and added them. Works good also in the SSL secured parts of the website.

 

I looked at my cloudcache account for a overview what is stored in the CDN. On all 3 CDN's the following file types are stored:

• jpg
  
• jpeg
  
• gif
  
• txt
  
• png
  
• ico
  
• css
  
• js
  

Altough cloudcache stores the css and js files it looks like they aren't used by the media server. The media server does speed up your website because it can download multiple files from different locations. Cloudcache stores the images in same maps like on my own server so you will probably need to duplicate files on a other server and then set up the link to that server in the media server option. Then it can get a images from your own server or from the media server.

How the CCC server can speed up the shop when there is same location e.g.

 

www.myshop.com

 

and CCC servers

 

cccserver1.myshop.com

cccserver2.myshop.com

cccserver3.myshop.com

 

it should be hosted in same server?

 

or it should be a copy of shop stored in hosting B and there subdomains should be pointed?

Please see that

 

5. Create sub-domains for Javascript files and CSS files

1. Create a sub-domain js1.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /js/
   
2. Create a sub-domain js2.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /theme/mytheme/js/
   
3. Create a sub-domain css1.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /css/
   
4. Create a sub-domain css2.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /theme/mytheme/css/
   

These 4 sub-domains will allow your visitors to load more files at the same time. Basically, a web-browser is limited to 8 parallel downloads. Each sub-domain is adding 8 new parallel downloads, so the total would be 40 (Main domain + 4 sub-domains).

 

 

it is regards CCC media servers?

 

so this subdomains should be pointed to this certain folders?

but in Prestashop there are only 3 lines to write subdomains

 

other question is if cache need me enabled? see attachment

Hi all,

 

Using Rocky's method works fine on regular pages (speed noticeably increased), but no css or images loaded when on https.

 

Anyone know how to fix this? Perhaps by forcing the content to be called from it's original location when on https pages, rather than the media server/subdomain?

 

Cheers

pel024 I wrote my post here: http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/10-best-tips-to-speed-up-your-prestashop-store-3/#comment-1899

 

I was contacting with developers, but I have fealing that nobody know how it work there are different informaction:

 

point subdomains to same root shop folder

point subdomains to:

• Create a sub-domain js1.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /js/
  
• Create a sub-domain js2.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /theme/mytheme/js/
  
• Create a sub-domain css1.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /css/
  
• Create a sub-domain css2.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /theme/mytheme/css/
  

 

with PS 1.4.3 not works, I will update shop and try to do test with new version.

Hi,

 

Media Server #1 : "name of the second domain" : that's because your first domain is your main domain.

[adamus007p]

Hi I already talked with a lot of people in prestashop regards this issue. Opened post in forum:

http://www.prestasho...e-configure-it/

I sent email to Bruno Lévêque, who is PS manger and possible only one person who can help regards this problem.

Hi Bruno I read your note regards how to speed up PS. http://www.prestasho...3/#comment-1899

I was trying to configure CCC media servers, also I was writing regards this issue with few people from Prestashop.

I found your tips how it not works

you wrote:

Create a sub-domain js2.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /theme/mytheme/js/

Create a sub-domain css1.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /css/

Create a sub-domain css2.mystore.com and ask your hosting provider to direct it to /theme/mytheme/css/

please refer to my topic on PS forum: http://www.prestasho...it/#entry844457

I can add only 3 subdomains not 4 (there is no place to put 4).

Even when I will put 3 it not works. The look of website is broken.

 

 

I opened ticket for it: http://forge.prestas...owse/PSCFI-6074

Hi adamus,

 

Adding those 3 subdomains and asking the host......reduced your load time????? If yes, how much please (something noticeable)?

Hi all I have answer:

 

If someone want to use media servers need to add 3 subdomains to root folder of the prestashop

 

@Sbm

Regards your question I did not noticed any difference regards the speed. Maybe there are a difference when the server is overload and media servers give you more slots for people.

 

 

I spend 2 months to investigate prestashop SEO and speed I paid to company which will write dedicated modules for me.

Modules will be also available for PS users.

 

 

I don't recommend coundcache, they crashed my website and I have to to back up everything to be sure that PS will works OK.

If someone is interested I share my email to this "company". They just ignored me...

 

What can I recommend to use CCC and media servers but... as you can read my but: http://forge.prestas...owse/PSCFI-6137

 

I have problem with SEO - it dropped down after PS update from 1.4.3 to 1.4.8.2

 

Now I am checking how google read CCC:

 

CCC allows you to reduce the loading time of your page. With these settings you will gain performance without even touching the code of your theme. Make sure, however, that your theme is compatible with PrestaShop 1.4+. Otherwise, CCC will cause problems.

Smart cache for CSS

Use CCC for CSS.

Keep CSS as original

Smart cache for JavaScript

Use CCC for JavaScript.

Keep JavaScript as original

Minify HTML

Minify HTML after "smarty compile" execution.

Keep HTML as original

Compress inline JavaScript in HTML

Compress inline JavaScript in HTML after "smarty compile" execution

Keep inline JavaScript in HTML as original

High risk HTML compression

HTML is compressed but cancels the W3C validation (only when "Minify HTML" is enabled)

Keep W3C validation

 

and how it influence on SEO

 

 

If someone have similar problem please contact with me, we will try to figure out it.

 

 

 

PS. I am not sure if CCC and media servers can be used in the same time.

If someone know please share it with us.

System is ver 1.6.1.11 

 

System has 3 CDN media servers in CCC 

 

However Images used in the Theme etc does not convert its domain to the CDN server

https://swasthyashailee.com should get replaced by https://CDN-NAMENUMBER

 

 

• https://swasthyashailee.com/img/cms/Hair-Care-375x195.jpg not changed to  https://CDN-NAME/img/cms/Hair-Care-375x195.jpg

These are the images used in Themes HTML Block 

 

Please guide
