If you turn on Admin - Configuration - Logging - Display The Page Parse Time we might be able to see something.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Just turn on the Display The Page Parse Time.

yes,but i still don't know what to do?
Can you give me detailed instruction?
You need to work with your hosting company to improve the performance of the database engine. It's poorly configured, or is overloaded with too many customers using it.
I don't know any more than the tutorial, but I would guess it's something you would want to contact your host about, unless you're managing your own server.
How to improve the performance of the database engine ?
I am using Godady VDS.
by the way,how to activate SSL for all pages for admin?
Read about Godaddy on this forum... then go find a real host who can handle full-scale e-commerce.Quote:
I am using Godady VDS.
It seems that a very high percentage of the threads about loading time issues turn out to be sites hosted by Godaddy.
I have an ongoing debate with a Godaddy fanboy who is absolutely convinced that they are God's gift to the hosting world, and that they can do no wrong. This forum is excellent for gathering ammunition. :D
Hi All
I had the same issue and the reason for the issue was this,
http://gamingcomputerbest.com/ (my site) Was running on a windows server and had a dynamic IP (sever) that was being shared by other users
I called my hosting admin and had them change my sever to a Linux server and bought a private IP for around 8 GPB
And that was all it took 1 hour later my site was like lightning,
reason behind this was, zencart is running php files that are more compatible with Linux servers and buy buying a private dedicated server IP I am not sharing it with the rest of the web
hope this is of some help to you friend check out the site now and you will see that the speed it very good.
also just to add I am with Godaddy
kind regards
Luke
Dedicated IP address or dedicated server? If it's just a dedicated IP address, you are still sharing server resources with other sites. The real reason for the speed improvement is likely the fact that you moved from a Windows platform to a Linux platform.Quote:

Same exact situation here. We were using NopCommerce for a while and that required a Windows hosting acct, now with Zen had them just switch it over to Linux and the site is blazing fast now compared to the previous.. This was our last ditch effort with GoDaddy and if the site slows down in the future then we will probably be moving as well, but for no...GoDaddy! =)Quote:

Like the fact that many of those complaining about speed issues on GoDaddy have Zen Cart 1.5 running on a Windows server. THE INSTALL GUIDE PROMINENTLY STATES TO USE LINUX! Once moved to a linux box (GoDaddy or not) Zen Cart runs fine... Is that a GoDaddy issue? Nope. But many seem quick to say it is. Actually, it's the person who disregarded what the software requested and tried to shove it on a Windows box. I use multiple hosts. And I mean MULTIPLE. I develop in PHP/MySql, ASP.NET C#/VB.NET MSSQL Server, classic asp, perl, python, JAVA, Ruby, ORACLE PL/SQL, etc... in fact, you can name a language, server, database, web technology and I have likely worked with it. So here is some ammunition for your debate; be sure you absolutely know what you are talking about BEFORE you go down the evangelical path about hosts in an open discussion. Because I seriously have yet to experience an "issue" of any kind that was absolutely because of GoDaddy's servers. I will say that they restrict you in some areas (email relays, etc), but that is understood when you sign up for their services... unless you DIDN'T bother to call them and ask the right questions BEFORE you gave them money and developed and launched your application. You know... requirements acquisition. Any developer should know you don't just go grab a host and start hacking from the hip. You PLAN. In the event your client already has the host, you still PLAN. If that current host falls short in supporting your requirements due to resrictions, you either request what you need and get it, or you MOVE. ESPECIALLY if you are using pre-developed software like Zen Cart. Really? You save yourself time on developing your own cart, but you DON'T follow its installation guide? And THEN, to divert the attention from your own ignorance, you blame the HOST company? PSSSH! Anyway, I didn't mean to go off on a rant, and I mean no ill attitude. Mostly sarcasm, but there is a real message in there. :DQuote:

vividknowledge - Your points about proper development practices are all correct, but you are incorrect in assuming that everyone who installs Zen Cart is a "developer" who is to be expected to know the protocols. Many if not most individuals who install Zen Cart for themselves have never worked with e-commerce before and know nothing of server issues, databases, etc, nor should they necessarily be expected to, depending on the size of their business. A successful business expanding onto the web ought to have, learn or hire expertise, but most e-commerce platforms seem to make a point (in advertising/promoting) of not requiring the new user to have expertise because the platform does it all... and you know how often in all walks of life people fail to read the fine print.
The point of all this is that Godaddy claims to be good for e-commerce as well as HTML pages, yet does not guide users directly to their more-or-less adequate versions of hosting.
gjh42 - You make a solid point and I understand exactly what you are saying, and I understand the frustrations a lot of people have when they get into what they were told would be easy only to find that it is actually quite complicated. All anyone needs to do is look up the average national salaries for Web sector jobs to see that those people in the sector command those salaries; and for good reason. But my main point was that it is NOT GoDaddy's fault that Zen Cart does not work well in Windows. In fact, it isn't anyone's fault. It is what it is.Quote:

Instead they take a different approach. Give the user EVERYTHING and let them figure it out on their own. When the user hits the brick wall, they do little to fix the issue. But why should they do anything. Would you fix a $500 problem for $5 a month? No. But they do have developers on hand willing to do things for an appropriate fee. All I am saying is that GoDaddy is no worse than other platforms out there (Think Network Solutions! OMG! That place is like the most retarded Server Administrators from GoDaddy had kids and started a company). Anyway, you get what you pay for. Godaddy's main down fall in my opinion when it comes to supplying the masses is offering TOO MUCH. That is why their stuff is difficult for most to wrap their heads around. But they do have some features available to correct the issues. For example; if you choose a Windows plan for hosting, then install Zen Cart 1.5 (With their installer) it actually installs fine. It runs as it is supposed to, albeit at 10 seconds per page, which pisses people off. (And yes they could have a little disclaimer explaining this will happen, which I have suggested to them) However, and this is the really cool part about their setup, you can go in and flip a switch to change your server over to a linux box (ironically called a "down" grade... go figure) and it happens seamlessly in a little over an hour! Imagine that... they take a complete site directory from a windows based server and flip it to a linux box in a relatively short period of time. And amazingly you do not need to "talk" to anyone to get it done.
I tested Zen Cart 1.5 on not one, but 3 different hosting platforms in a Windows environment. Not one of them behaved any differently. They all sucked. I did 6 total installs across all of them. 3 with the host's auto installer and 3 manual installs. No change. All behaved exactly the same... and yes, one was GoDaddy. The other two were CrystalTech and JodoHost. Both of which I have tremendous experience with and both are VERY good. So, is it Godaddy? CrystalTech? JodoHost? no. Zen Cart simply does not play well with Windows (As is stated in LARGE PRINT during the installation... you can't miss it.)
All I was trying to state is that "developers" in here would rather tell someone to move their site to another host rather than give a quick tip on how to satisfy the issues, regardless of the host... and to your point, not everyone who gets into this is or should be a developer, which makes a statement like "move your site" all the more ridiculous! Imagine the look on the poor saps face when they are told to move their entire site setup... As if they would know where to begin on that challenge (Site dir, database with all data, etc).
In close, I appreciate your point and it is understood - we see eye to eye on that, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't make a better attempt at helping out even if we can't stand the host they have chosen... I too roll my eyes when a client mentions NetSol - but I still hunker down and make a smiling effort to help. Sorry if I come across crass, it is not intended that way. Text doesn't show the smile.
Cheers.
I agree with that. What I don't agree with is your contention that GoDaddy has no responsibility here. Regardless of how many plans or types of servers GD has, it doesn't seem like all that much to ask that they steer customers who plan to use dynamic, DB-driven software to Linux servers. Everyone here knows that Zencart may not perform well on a Windows server - I have to believe the GD tech people do too.Quote:

A linux box would do no good in that case (and no, MONO wouldn't cut it). However, I do agree with your statement that GoDaddy should be more proactive in displaying information that is relevant to any given task at hand, such as when attempting to install Zen Cart in a Windows plan, a message could (and should) display for the user to let them know that there are known issues with Zen Cart on Windows, the most prominent being speed. In fact, I believe I mention this in my previous post. I suppose I could counter argue that Zen Cart should be better programmed to work on Windows, especially on GoDaddy Windows servers. Mainly because it is one of the largest hosting companies and it is also the most complained about in this forum, which means there is a clear need for supporting that server platform better... however, asking such a thing would be ridiculous! Why? Because the software clearly states that it is better suited for Linux - and GoDaddy has Linux servers. So regardless of godaddy's existence, at a minimum I would implore folks to just do what the software says and install on the right platform... and that AMAZINGLY can be done without issue on a freakin Godaddy server! But of course, people install it on Windows anyway for one reason or another, and based on percentages, it will likely be a godaddy server... and then godaddy gets shoved under the bus again... its just a vicious cycle is all I am saying. I agree, godaddy could be better at informing people... Zen Cart could be better... Coca Cola shouldn't have released New Coke to start with, but not everything is what we all think it should be. Godaddy is CHEAP, and Zen Cart is FREE... and yet, with a little reading and paying attention, you can get quite a bit of bang for your little buck.Quote:

I actually thought I made that clear in the post you responded to, but I apologize if it wasn't clear. They ARE responsible to their customer base. They COULD do more. But in the meantime, they aren't and I just don't think we as developers should punish the poor guy who comes here for help just because he is using GoDaddy. There are always solutions that do not require uprooting the house. Make sense?
Are we done with the ranting and bashing now?
