Ideal server for Prestashop


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I have a Prestashop running for about 6 months now and I am setting up a new server for my webshop. I have played a little with several settings for apache, php and mysql and would like to know what other users results do.

These are my findings:

http://www.webpagetest.org/result/141031_6G_PRM/

This is on a Vmware server with 4 cores, 4Gb ram and SSD harddisk, using Apache 2.4. PHP5.4 FPM and Mysql 5.6. Prestashop is quiet light with just about 100 products.

I think it's quiet fast but I would like to know if other people have much better "time to first byte" times.

 

Greetings,

Roger

with 1.6, and quality theme...

 

having JavaScript load bottom, makes PrestaShop the fastest 'above the fold' ecommerce in open source and can often times hide a less robust hosting environment.

 

This is a must have feature (1.6.0.9) is also dreamy.

 

So, if you are on 1.5, I'd highly suggest upgrading...or search for javapro...because  at the end of the day...no hosting can account for browser render waiting to parse java script...period. :)

What exactly do you mean by "having JavaScript load bottom"?

I am on 1.6.0.9 and I must admit that it's quiet fast. I managed to make my php-mysql connection a little bit faster so I am quiet happy now with my shop. I also checked some other prestashop webshops and there are quiet a lot who don't know about optimising the web page speeds or don't care. I see loadtimes of 10 to 15 seconds with a time-to-first-byte of sometimes 9 seconds. This offcourse does make the website quiet slow and I think Google will punish this "slowness" also.

Oh yes,

 

I have that enabled. Doesn't really move alle the javascript to the end offcourse, but will indeed speed up the feeling of the webshop.

 

in fact it does (ps) move all bottom, you may have some hard coded java (some theme dev don't use ps to load .js)

 

anyway..happy ps'ing
