Well, to have good performance, it's always better to use a dedicated server or at least a virtual server. If you are currently using shared hosting, I'd recommend you to change it to at least a virtual server with at least 1gb RAM. Also, be aware that when you run a server of your own, you do have added responsibilities.

 

You can use things like memcached to improve DB performance, use a different domain to serve static files. (prestashop calls them media server). You can find all the options available on advanced parameter > performance.

 

Beyond that, you can also optimize web server, increase memory for php, have a dedicated MySQL server.. endless possibilites

Go to Preferences Performance

 

Setting is same

Upgrade to PS V1.4.9

 

It has improvements to SQL that make it much faster.

>>Server : Windows

 

Check this file,

prestashop\config\settings.inc.php

 

If you have;

 

define('_DB_SERVER_', 'localhost');

 

Change to;

 

define('_DB_SERVER_', '127.0.0.1');

 

You will see double the speed. This seems to be a bug in Windows.

Was it localhost before you changed or was it something else?
