Website running very slooooww! Help :)

[GroovyG]

Hi Guys,

 

I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to fix some performance issues in my site. Currently it takes 20 sec to load :S 

 

I am not sure if the problem is my hosting, my theme, some modules... The site is:

www.funkymonkey.mx

 

http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/eb88Ji/www.funkymonkey.mx

 

Can someone give me some advice?

 

Thanks!

Enable CCC for CSS and JS.

Specify image dimention in your theme (set width and height attributes). Ask your designer to do so if you don't know hos to do it.

Did you enable smarty cache (do not re-compile each time) ?

Hi Joe,

 

Thanks for your response. I have the CCC, CSS , JS settings and smarty as per suggested. I have not specified the image dimension, unfortulanetly I am my own designer LOL . Is there a tutorial for doing this?

 

Looking from the performance results from;

http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/eb88Ji/www.funkymonkey.mx

 

Do you andvise that I change my hosting provider, or the hosting is not the problem here?

 

Thanks a lot!

when I look at front office, CCC for .js/.css is not enabled.

 

make sure to visit your front office, right click, view source...to make sure what you think is happening actually is

Hi There

 

My site started out as loading in the 16 odd second range as well.

 

What I have done so far:

 

1. Register and use Cloudflare

2. Upgrade hosting to VPS

3. Register on the basic option of Max CDN

4. http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/10-best-tips-to-speed-up-your-prestashop-store-3/

5. Purchase express cache module

 

I have managed to get it down to around 3 seconds by oing all of the above, also got a few more things to try soon and hoping to get it into the sub 2 second range on first load.

nice, thanks for info, are you running javascript top or bottom? 

 

PrestaShop 1.6 supports javascript bottom bo-->advanced parms-->performance

 

this really speeds above the fold page render, and pleases google mucho.

Start here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_img_width.asp

Try an HTML cache module (Express cache, PageCache, Cache manager, etc.) before changing your host. Also, prestashop is faster when it is "hot", I mean if you start having visitors regularly the prestashop cache will (should) be efficient.

Hi

 

Yes I have read quite a bit about fold page render and Google.

 

I am going to purchase this module soon: http://www.etiendas.co/en/54-reduce-page-render-time-javapro.html then I am pretty much done. The only other things I will be doing to complete for now is to create a CSS sprite and optimize all my images but this will be done last when the site is basically complete.

 

Any other tricks you are possibly aware of?

after JavaPro, you will be done. analysis websites 'have' to find some issue regardless of really being important.

 

none that I have seen measure above the fold, but google does (read more here) : http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/314461-module-javapro-prestashop-performance-significantly-speed-up-your-shop-pages-defer-javascript/?p=1737254

 

one issue with 'web analysis sites' even google , is that they count a CCC'ed .js file at toop as one .js file, when in fact it is 'many', so thinking one has good 'grade' keeps them from addressing real issue of page render block.

Hi Guys,

 

I really appreciate your feedback. I´ll start working on the suggestions. 

 

Patron, thats strange, you can find in the attached image that I have set the CCC to all the options. Am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks,

Maybe your theme does not use normal way to add css and js?

ok, now I see javascript bottom, but not CCC'ed

 

as for css, it is also not ccc'ed

 

I'd like to think Mr. Martin is correct about theme, but I don't see how that could be possible, else it be the worse theme ever..jajajaja

[GroovyG]

hahaha yeah this theme has been killing me.... its been giving me a lot of problems :S

 

I just realized it is not compatible with IE9 and below.

 

Just purchased the express cache module and it worked nicely. 

 

Thanks,

better to add 2 subdomains as media storage. Use cname to point to your main domian.

Great stuff , I will post details on what the final load speed is and if I manage to find anything else that perhaps helps.

 

Yes I am not really that concerned about getting 100% on speed test sites my major concern is just to be as fast as possible ( faster than my competitors )

 

You wont possibly be able to help on the following: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/358724-newsletter-subscription-coupon/  ?
