number of database connections and queries - slow on godaddy hosting

I have shop setup and would like to know the number of
database connections and queries that the main index page
makes to a database.

I have only three side boxes showing:
information, currencies and a side banner box.

Querries
admin > config > Logging > Display The Page Parse Time > set to true

Index & others only require one connection

ok thankyou.
Having performance issues thats why I wanted to check and my isp advised
You also appear to be using the grid based hosting so the site should not be impacted by the available resources. The exception to this would be database connections. If the number of queries or activity were to increase, it is conceivable that the resources associated with the database are taxed. I can only recommend reviewing the structure to ensure it is indexed and optimized.

These are some of the results I am getting back from the
queries and parse times:

index page 1st load
Parse Time: 34.831 - Number of Queries: 38 - Query Time: 28.156374772797


index page 2nd load:
Parse Time: 13.887 - Number of Queries: 28 - Query Time: 9.7750679123383

index page 3rd load:
Parse Time: 35.013 - Number of Queries: 28 - Query Time: 24.851535070175


advance search results page:
Parse Time: 126.172 - Number of Queries: 206 - Query Time: 119.52104957492

I have 15000 products in the system.

The number of times I have did an advance search the number
of queries has changed. One came back with 134 queries and
this one 206 why?

Yikes! Those are INSANELY slow responses from your MySQL server.
Running hundreds of queries should happen in under 1/4 second.

The query time is the amount of time it's taking for your MySQL engine to send back the data.
The parse time is the combined query time (waiting on the database) plus the time the server takes to process the PHP scripts and prepare the HTML content that's sent to the browser. That also includes the time it takes for the server to look for relevant .php files to run.

You're also showing rather slow parse times, which might be a result of slow server disk speed, overloaded CPU (common with "overselling" hosts that put too many customers on one server just to line their pockets with cash), or poorly configured cluster servers where the access to the filesystem is external thus causing lag.

In short, your hosting service is running VERY poorly.


You will find variation on number of queries used on each page based on which randomly selected products appear in various boxes based upon your configuration of the store, as well as products on sale/special, banners being displayed, etc. That variation is normal.

I only have to 3 boxes enabled.
information which pulls out 1 link
currencies which pulls out 2 currencies
side promotion box with the same image all the time.

I have written a small piece of custom code
which passes a string to the search page to return a list of product
titles that match the string. I would expect to have the same number
of queries each time (i know the more products the longer the
search).


The hosting is godaddy (i know they don't have the best rep),
they advised i am grid hosting I suppose thats the same as cluster servers. The non-zencart part of the site appears to run ok.
You can view it at http://www.mtecbrakes.co.uk/store/ the issue appears to intermitant.
So i have sent off another support email to see what they say.

I can almost guarantee they'll do nothing to help you, other than to upsell you to a more expensive service ... which will turn out to be just as bad.

needed to supply them with further information on the issue so waitng for them to get back to me.
As for them doing nothing I will just have to wait and see.

They have come back and said everything is fine and

In order too increase the performance of your website steps can be taken to optimize the database and application scripting. Information to accomplish this can be found by visiting the following web page.

Exactly as expected. Their problems are so bad they can't fix it (and/or don't care), so they're trying to deflect the attention elsewhere.
