How do I speed up my PrestaShop store?


Recommended Posts

First of all I'm wondering what is normal load time for PrestaShot 1.4.8.2 store? I know it's old but I don't want to upgrade it because automatic way doesn't work and I dont have time and nerves to set up all over in newer version. So, how can I make it lighter and faster?

 

My store is loading between 2 and 2.5 seconds and I have feeeling that this is extremelly slow.

 

I have changed all pictures from .png to .jpg eliminated all bad requests from code. What else can I do?
The most annoying is when I try to add article to cart. Sometimes it took few seconds before it is actually in cart. The animation of product leaving to cart is really slow. How can I fix that? Is there at least a way to switch off this animation?

 

I would like to know what are the right settings in Administration> Settings> Implementation? I have tried different settings but nothing can get my store loading time under 2 secunds.

Any proposal is welcome :unsure:

Just include css and js  in footer.tpl file..

 

This page has 9 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.
This page has 5 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.
This page has 21 external background images. Try combining them with CSS sprites.

Anyone have experience with Monitorix for performance monitoring?
