Block layered navigation (speed and functionality problems)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am facing problems with prestashop layered navigation speed. It is based on ajax, so it should be fast! but as you mention, when you have more products on shop, it is "blazing" slow. I got an idea to solve this problem by loading products line by line (if you have for ex. 12 products on 1 page, it would be great if it loads 4 then 4 and the last 4).

 

I also set cron jobs for every type of indexation in module. It helps a bit, but every magento navigation, which isn't based on ajax is much more faster.

 

Another issue with this module is, that it doesnt work in prices drop and search page. I am thinking about creating category sale and copy all of the shop categories to sale category and I hope it will work, but this solution seems really redundand and hard to maintain.

 

I mentioned there are lots of people complaining about speed and placement of this module.

--- I know this is a bit dated post...but understand your original post and have seen instances of this issue before.

 

what I've noticed to date:

 

block layered module as late as 1.6.0.9 does not use isCached() so typical smarty cache processing for blocklayered.tpl is bypassed.

 

I don't know why it is not used there may be technical issues using with smarty cache.

 

here is an article that describes a majority of native modules do to use smarty cache
