website loading very slow

[kannu777]

hello,

 i have newly installed prestashop 1.6 and i am experiencing very slow loading time, specially in the category page. it is taking over 32 seconds for the page to load. 

 

the page in question is at this link: http://goo.gl/9XNspK

 

if you open the page, it takes over 32 seconds in general.

 

i am not an expert in testing or on website building. but while trying to find out the reason for problem and asking a coder, i have the following issues:-

 

1) the time to first byte is very slow.

 

is this issue because of hosting, or because of page content itself. Many other pages of the website are loading faster, except the category pages, so i dont understand.

 

the website is hosted in shared server

 

2) it can be a block layered navigation module:

i only have about 800 products, so there are not that many products, so the layer navigation module should be working fast. if i disable this module and load the page, the page is loading very fast.

 

if this module is not good, can anyone please suggest a faster, reliable navigation product filter module, that is also seo friendly

 

again, i tried to search for new filter module but since i am not too technical, i am not sure which one will be best, specially considering speed, and seo

 

 

any help will be appreciated

 

thanks

Some general suggestions:

 

- Disable all third-party modules. If the website will go faster, try to re-enable them one by one and check the frontend in each turn. This way, you can locate the problem module.

 

- If the website is still slow having all third-party modules disabled, that's probably a server problem. 

 

- You can also make use of some cache modules for PrestaShop, since your server is a shared one.
