Hi Folks.

I am sorry if this question has been asked a number of times before. There are so many forums here I don't know where to look.

I have been setting up zencart on my site for the last few days and it is so low that it is virtually unuseable.

I ran some tests on the server to see if they were over loaded etc but they are fine with anything other than zencart and they are a zencart approved host ( globat ).

I have turned Gzip on, turned category counts off, turned off just about everything that I don't need, but my speed stats are still slow this is the main page first time in,

Parse Time: 18.090 - Number of Queries: 150 - Query Time: 0.52972236525

And then on refresh

Parse Time: 11.027 - Number of Queries: 140 - Query Time: 0.592398927368

Is there anything obvious that I am missing, is it to do with the cache or some technical thingy!!!

I hope someone can help as I think the programme and facilities are great but if it runs this slow I know my customers will turn away through frustration.

Any help would be appreciated.

The site is still in test at this address. http://www.rockingoose.com/index.php?main_page=

Ignore the layout problem I am still trying to get rid of that. The images etc are demo images still.

Thanks again for any help you can offer.
