Hi,
Currently running a store with 1.3.9h (planning to upgrade soon just haven't had a free moment yet!) with 50k products and 5,600 categories. I'm about to launch another 8k products and later an additional 35k products and probably an additional 3k categories will be needed for these products. This will bring totals to about 95k products and 9k categories. The site is already slow, admin runs as smooth as a babies bottom but customer side is not so slick.
The product search used to be very slow, but changing the default search to not search product descriptions sped this up dramatically (still not exactly brisk though!). Browsing by categories and loading product pages however is incredibly tediously slow.
The website address is www. e m i n e n c e g i f t s dotcodotuk (sorry don't want search engines to spot it on here!).
I currently am on a premium shared hosting plan from Camelot, is it an optimisation issue or should I really be looking towards going dedicated?
All comments would be much appreciated!
