    Default How to Speed Up My Store?

    Hey Guys,

    I was wondering if there were more ways to speed up my store... I am relatively new and my store takes tons of time to load. I have already looked at the tutorial and wiki and tried to cut back where I can. But as of right now my store takes nearly a minute to load.

    So I was wondering if there was a way that I could speed it up. I am currently using Startlogic for my hosting company and maybe it is them. But what factors that contribute to the speed of my site come from my host???

    Thanks in advance for any ideas or help.

    ~Nick

    Turn the parse time on (admin - logging) to see how fast (or slow) your host is servering up your site.

    If parse times are low 1.0 or less - look at your site. If higher - talk to your host.

    I looked at your site and it didn't seem excessively slow to me.

    Also go to your zencart admin and under tools click server/version info and it will tell you the average load and other useful info.

    Might also be worth doing a google search for your hosting company and see what others think of them.

    If your store has lots of images then install Image Handler 2 and make sure GZip is turned on.

    Now it's much faster.

    Parse Time: 0.523 - Number of Queries: 30 - Query Time: 0.045155968688965

    Not sure whether you changed anything in the last few minutes, or whether it's because it's in my cache.

    I just got a parse time of 9.032

    Your times are all over the chart! Talk to your host about being moved to less "saturated" server or look for a new host ~ I can tell you the name of my host if you are interested!
