CrS27 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 HI! you havent told anything about your hosting provider, it is really important. As to turning anything "on or off", actually. you should make sure you're using ONLY necessary modules and extensions, plus your images should be kept small, and if you're using many fancy animations or widgets, consider reducing their quantity, as they are rather resource consuming. I can suggest you to read this info on speeding up Presta, it'll be more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hello all, thank you for your messages. There is a blog post here that you can look at for other basic info tips to speed up PrestaShop. This was for version 1.4 however the same concepts do apply for the most part. I hope this helps! Thank you for choosing PrestaShop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturner Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The links provided by CrS27 and Benjamin are excellent and I advise you to go through them step by step. In addition, IMO, I've built sites on 1.4.9 and 1.5 and I found 1.4.9 to be much faster. YMMV. I also use Cloudcache, but primarily so that my images, css, etc. will be served up faster in locations which are far from my host's servers.

kimy Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 tnx for all help, Benjamin i've done the first 4 tips. but I had also done them in 1.4. I gave the info from CrS27 a quick look, but it seems like u have to buy something to get anything from it... But I still wonder, whats the difference from 1.4?? why is 1.5 slower?

Kerm Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Example pls, front page 1.4 and 1.5 on same server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hello, yes I think that if there was a test website with both 1.4. and 1.5 on the same server, we would be better able to see the speed difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 T Hello all, thank you for your messages. There is a blog post here that you can look at for other basic info tips to speed up PrestaShop. This was for version 1.4 however the same concepts do apply for the most part. I hope this helps! Thank you for choosing PrestaShop. That is a great blog - BUT many people are stuck on point 5. Can anyone expand on what to do 5. Create sub-domains for Javascript files and CSS files 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/ 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). but there is only 3 lines to write media servers.

benjamin utterback Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Dear Haylau, I will check on the details of this step and get back to you today. I will do my best to expand on what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hello, Haylau. I have discussed this with a developer and he mentioned to me that Step 5 can only be done once step 6 is completed. You will need to have a CDN in order to create multiple subdomains and direct them to specific folders. Once this is done you can follow step 5 and it will in turn make your webstore faster.

Thanks for looking in to this, so in effect to speed up Prestashop using this system is quite a costly process. Has anyone got any experience of setting up free CDN systems with prestashop?

Kerm Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) When you create subdomain on server, you must select/choise root folder, where subdomain site files will be. And you just need select folder like js,css,themes/yourtheme/js and etc...as subdomain root folder inside your main site root folder where you install prestashop.. Just example: And after that if you can view file like that: www.site.com/js/jquery.min.js you can also view this file like that: js.site.com/jquery.min.js site.com root folder on server: /var/www/user/www/site.com/ js.site.com root folder on server: /var/www/user/www/site.com/js/ If you still don't understand about what I talk, buy some book about apache, Linux, windows sever, for get some knowledge...or pay to webmaster.
