artway Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi, I am experiencing a very slow page load of a PrestaShop 1.5.6.1 template version. I did a quite broad research to find a solution to improve website performance. After many tries especially with caching stoll there is no positive results. Testing the speed on www.webpagetest.com shows that the First Byte start at 16sec and the Start Render at 54 sec. See attachment. I created html version of index page and installed it to compare the speed. It loads in 3-4 sec. Has anybody have any suggestion? Thank you.

El Patron Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 yes pagespeed is useless for this sort of issue... you can profile and isolate slowdowns in PrestaShop. open file config/defines.inc.php change this define('_PS_DEBUG_PROFILING_', false); to thi define('_PS_DEBUG_PROFILING_', true); now visit your problem page(s) scroll down for each page to get PrestaShop generated profiling information note: when 'true' all visitors will see this info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artway Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thank you El Patron for your prompt response. I will do it sometime later today. Currently I am away from my station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 yes, take your time with this. building a good fast shop is very important, you must always monitor shop after changes especially. don't look for fast answers, find bottle necks, research and if you find issue, post new topic just for that issue... zoom zoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artway Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Looks like this Forum Member troyrob's advise allow for some performance improvement of my website. Here is what he recommended:"I had the same problem one. What i found solved my problem was to disable filesystem caching. Found under: Advanced Parameters -> Performance.Disabling cache completely took my website from 50s page loads to 4s (very counter intuitive i know)"http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/333873-website-very-slow-back-and-front-office-in-the-same-time/page-2Post #31I have the same website performance improvement. Thank you, troyrob. However it should be less than 3secAlso, I would like to thank El Patron. Your advice to edit the "/config/defines.inc.php file.On line 44, replace define('_PS_DEBUG_PROFILING_', false); by define('_PS_DEBUG_PROFILING_', true);" has broaden my knowledge of template control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
