[SOLVED] Prestashop 1.3.5 Slow loading time

[kula007]

Hi.

Can someone help me with my site http://sklep.blueorb.pl
I`v try-ed almost everything : enabled smart caching, set smarty->force_compile to false, disabled GA and all statistics.
When u change category or chose product it takes about 2-3sec to load, and as u can sea at the beginning it`s waiting for server response.
Don`t know how to fix it , can someone help me please?

Kind Regards

The website loads fast for me. I don't think it's slow at all.

[kula007]

Do u think that i can`t get it faster?? What i want is to minimize the delay which is around 1-2 sec for me. If i would be able to get at least 1 sec will be great.

i´ve got same problem.

I update 1.3.3 to 1.3.5 a slow about 2 second to load.

@kula007: Your site opened nearly in 4-5 second in my computer. I do not think just prestashop 1.3.5 can be source of problem in your speed. Maybe your provider speed is not fast and your hosting is not fast.

You may use below link to test your site speed:

I think that my VPS i fast enough, the problem is not only on presta 1.3.5 but on all of 1.3 i`v tryed. Tested on other servers and the same problem, think it is a prestashop problem, i`v read a lot about speed problem on prest 1.3 and as i sea there is no proper solution yet.

Maybe some paid module??? to improve performance of the site??
Or someone can optimize the site???
Thanx fo repaly.

Try installing PrestaShop v1.4 Beta 2 in a separate directory. It has a new Preferences > Performance tab with options that can help to speed up your website. Maybe that will help, but it seems you have high expectations for the speed of your website. Getting a website to load in a second or less is very difficult.

Fresh install and 9 product and presta was sooo slow that i was thinking lets go back to os commerce,.. but no i changed the [

b]code of:[/b]

global $smarty;
$smarty = new Smarty();
$smarty->template_dir = _PS_THEME_DIR_.'tpl';
$smarty->compile_dir = _PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'compile';
$smarty->cache_dir = _PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'cache';
$smarty->config_dir = _PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'configs';
$smarty->caching = false;
$smarty->force_compile = (bool)Configuration::get('PS_SMARTY_FORCE_COMPILE');
$smarty->compile_check = false;
//$smarty->debugging = true;
$smarty->debug_tpl = _PS_ALL_THEMES_DIR_.'debug.tpl';

into

global $smarty;
$smarty = new Smarty();
$smarty->template_dir = _PS_THEME_DIR_.'tpl';
$smarty->compile_dir = _PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'compile';
$smarty->cache_dir = _PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'cache';
$smarty->config_dir = _PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'configs';
$smarty->caching = false;
$smarty->force_compile = false;
$smarty->compile_check = false;
//$smarty->debugging = true;
$smarty->debug_tpl = _PS_ALL_THEMES_DIR_.'debug.tpl';


And it worked like lightning! fast loading pages i'm hooked now on presta!

you can find the code in config/smarty.config.inc.php i changed it in prestashop 1.4 beta 2

[rocky]

You do realise that you just replaced an option in the Back Office with a hardcoded value? You should change the code back, then go to Preferences > Performance and change "Force compile" to "No" instead of hardcoding the "No" value in code. It's only in PrestaShop v1.3.5 and earlier you need to change the code.

[dutchmulti]

Oke can't find the option,,.. But ill put the hardcode back and see if the option pop's up again, and see if i can turn it off.

Hoping it will be as fast as it is now.
Thanks for your command!
regards Rob

It work`s perfectyl, thanx man this is what i ment to be. Great job thx again

[Shotgunman]

Works in here also perfectly, thank you!

[Rajendra]

In Config/smarty.config.inc.php

Just change the following line

$smarty->force_compile = true;

to

$smarty->force_compile = false;

You will see the result.

[dutchmulti]

This is my file but it was allready on false,,,...

global $smarty;
$smarty = new Smarty();
$smarty->template_dir = _PS_THEME_DIR_.'tpl';
$smarty->compile_dir = _PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'compile';
$smarty->cache_dir = _PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'cache';
$smarty->config_dir = _PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'configs';
$smarty->caching = false;
$smarty->force_compile = (bool)Configuration::get('PS_SMARTY_FORCE_COMPILE');
$smarty->compile_check = false;
//$smarty->debugging = true;
if (Configuration::get('PS_FORCE_SMARTY_2'))
$smarty->debug_tpl = _PS_ALL_THEMES_DIR_.'debug.tpl';

maby becource i used the newest presta?

[farlodrian]

Perfectly works !!!

[krychlicka]

my succesful solution was to uninstall module "MGC Carousel of products on the home page"
