rka81 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I need to start a new prestashop site for a client with about 1000+ products and as I have only built for smaller shops am unsure of any performance issues for that amount of products. Is anyone aware of any slowdown or any other issue for a shop that big? Also what are your recommendations - should I build on the 1.4.9 version or delay until the 1.5 comes out ( I able to delay if worthwhile) as just concerned that I will be amending the template/theme a fair bit and don't want any potential conflict with the new version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturner Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 My shop has about 1500 products and was slower than I wanted it until 1.49 came out. Since I upgraded, the speed is incredible. I'm also experimenting with the 1.5 RC. I'm sure it will get faster, but right now, IMO, it's slow. Before 1.49, I had to keep my categories below 100 products, but since the upgrade, I feel like I can make the categories as large as I want.

CrS27 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I guess, you just need to manage the categories correctly. You can use tags instead of extensive category tree, it could cut down the loading time. and here's an article on improving site speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
