monkeythreads Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 hello, my site is running super slow, always has. I'm running on a shared server which should have something to do with it but it still seems like navigating takes forever. Can someone help with the best cache setting, or any other tricks to optimize the speed. I have currently everything set to YES in performance except: Disable non PrestaShop modules, Customer Groups, Use cache Also I have uploaded the new {PrestaShopAutoUpload} fix and didn't really notice much improvement. here is my speed test thing i've seen on here before: http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.monkey-threads.com/02FofxcM -I could use some direction as to how to: Enable gzip compression Serve scaled images website is http://www.monkey-threads.com many thanks in advance.

JPresta.com Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hmm, I don't see any weird stats, looks "normal". Maybe you could try to install a PHP code cache (APC or something). Or an HTML cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikewra Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 If you're still looking for help w/ serving scaled images and enabling gzip: This is the first line (my edits) of your gtmetrix.com report on serve scaled images: 627x361. Serving a scaled image could save 67.9KiB (36% reduction) This means that the size of the image stored on your site is not the same size that is called for by either HTML or CSS and so needs to be resized during the page loading process. To remedy this, you can click on the first part of that line in gtmetrix and your image will appear in a new tab. Right click image and download. Open it w/ your image editor (I use gimp). Resize the image to the dimensions at the end of the line (I emphasized it in red above). Then ftp image up to your site using the file path in the gtmetrix recommendation. (For insurance, I rename the existing image by adding .old at the end of the name. That way if the new image doesn't work out, you just remove ".old" from the filename and you have the first image back.) This will provide an image sized to what the html or css specifies. Almost always I've found this to work w/o problem. Once in a while, for whatever reasons, the scaled image presents as distored and you have to live w/ the speed hit. Enable gzip: If your host allows it, go to your cPanel -> Software -> Optimize Website -> select either "Compress all content" or "Compress the specified MIME types." Pick whichever you need. I use compress all. You also can save 50.6KiB by loosely compressing the images. This is done in many image editors. I use either gimp or irfanview. In gimp, open the image File -> Save For Web then choose the compression settings that best balance file size with image clarity for your specific needs (usually around 85 to 90, check Optimize, Progressive, Baseline, Strip Exif). Other image editors will have different set ups but generally arrive at the same outcome. You are also taking a speed hit by calling the Google font @import.
