Please check out my store, tpl_product_info_display.php loads slow, why?

Turn on GZip ...

Turn off Category Counts ...

Do you see any significant difference between products_id 1 and 8 now?

Ok, I've exported my items from my current store and imported them into a new install of zencart with easy populate and no additional add-ons.

So here's the weird thing, on my new cart a product page with no picture the parse time is 1.874 seconds.
http://www.jdmcat.com/index.php?main...&products_id=1

Once I add a picture of 29.07 KB to my product page it takes
a parse time 11.053 seconds
http://www.jdmcat.com/index.php?main...&products_id=8

Um ... you said "new install with easy populate and no additional add-ons". But ... your site seems to be using bmz_cache for images ... which would mean you have Image Handler installed.

You didn't mention Image Handler before. Turn that off, and your problem will likely go away.
And ... that would confirm that your server is having a hard time processing the image manipulation that Image Handler offers.

yes, at the time of writing it didn't have image handler, I just threw that on a couple hours later to test it out...

I also removed the php involved with loading the picture, so the product image is picture-less.

deleted everything in tpl_modules_main_product_image.php

, still it was very slow 12 sec. With no pictures, so strange...

I will turn on GZIP now.


Thanks for the advice!

I found an awesome page to show you the GZIP results, wow 77%!

http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php

Web page compressed? Yes
Compression type? gzip
Size, Markup (bytes) 25,382
Size, Compressed (bytes) 5,626
Compression % 77.8

I enabled it in Configuration , GZIP

But unfortunately my product pages still load slow, close to the same time. Other pages are quick though :)
