Very slow category page

[luca1711]

Hi everybody,

 

for a few days I find a great slowness in the opening of the categories of my site. I do not understand how it can be done since I did not make any changes to the system files.

Can anybody give me some advice on how to act, do I have to optimize my .htaccess file?

Try surfing in the categories of the site, and see how slow it is.

Thanks to anyone who wants to help me.

Prestashop version: 1.6.1.12
Php: 5.6
Dedicated server of great capacity and discrete performance.
Website: feyll.com

I would say, it's not only category pages. Your start page loades in about 13 secons and has appx. 5 MB of size.

Out from this 5 MB, appx. 4 MB come from images. In my opinion, this is way to much. Everything above 1 MB should be avoided.

Similar situation on the category pages,

 

What I noticed - you have a PayPal Module running. This is sending logger requests to paypal each time I load a page.

I don't know if this is normal but I slows down your page even more. Then I also see this kind of requests:

https://www.paypal.com/webapps/hermes/component-meta?xcomponent=1&version=4&env=production

which also take their time. I would recommend the following:

 

- Less and smaller images - especially on the homepage slider

- Deactivate PayPal for a test and check if and how load time is affected

- Deactivate your media server for tests

  It's this base URL which is called for that.

- Post your PrestaShop Performance settings page here

- Disable or uninstall modules which you don't need urgently and run some tests

  Each module adds processing time. Some more, some less. Often we find one or two modules which are badly designed and lead to massive performance impacts.
