my host tells me I need to add page caching

[widget40]

Hi, I have had a message from the server, saying that the site needs " adding some sort of caching mechanism, where the script does not need to generate a new page with every request (many cart systems have an option to create an html catalog), helps to lower the over load that a script will cause. Likely the original author or support group of the software that you are using will be able to help you to understand how to add something of this nature. "

Can someone help me or guide me to doing this, i have looked at modules query cache and simple cache, but not sure which module would be best to use, and do i just unpack the module into zencart store or do i do something as well???

I am using zencart 1.3.7

thanks.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I just had my web host send me this:

I apologize, but I was forced to suspend scripts under the directory "/home/public_html/" as multiple scripts were causing a a high load on the server, and due to it affecting all of the other accounts on the system, I forced to take immediate action for the health of the server. Generally this is caused by a specific bot causing traffic across all our your sites (in which case you may be able to create a robots.txt to affect this, or if caused by a site-map system, slow down how many requests are made), or you simply have far too many CPU intensive sites under this same account.

Unfortunately I do not have any specific recommendations for these scripts, however, in general, adding some sort of caching mechanism, where the script does not need to generate a new page with every request, helps to lower the over load that a script will cause. Likely the original author or support group of the software that you are using will be able to help you to understand how to add something of this nature.

Any advice guys? Desprate SOS call

well no i didnt get a reasonable solution. what i did do - i went to the stats in the cpanel and found out that there was an IP address accessing the site and causing alot of bandwidth. so firstly i blocked the IP. then i also found the customer didnt have the right settings set up in the mail options in the configuration. you need to make sure that the settings are set to:
>> ADMIN
>> CONFIGURATION
>> EMAIL OPTIONS
>> EMAIL TRANSPORT METHOD - SENDMAIL

This prevents (so i am told) people using your settings to send mail. the php options seems to leave it wide open (so i am told).

Hope that helps you.

Let me know :-)
