Hi, Can someone point me in a direction on how to fix the errors? Such as total objects, script size, image size, etc. I understand that I could just take my images of my site but what kind of site would that be Maybe I have been staring at this screen to long, but I can't seem to find any thing that can tell me where to start.

Thanks for all your help!

Hi... just now saw your post. Sorry to leave you hanging. I have got to the point where I don't trust that site too much. I mean what it shows is valuable information but it's hard to come up to their standards. I tried checking a zen cart right out of the box and it complained about that too. I'm just going to try and make a good looking site and just keep in mind not to make it too image intensive.

Hope this at least helps your frame of mind (smile)...

I am hoping this isn't off topic. I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to get my site faster. So far I have followed the recommendations from the contributors on the forum including reducing images sizes, turning off sidebars I don't need, turning category couting off, etc. But it still seems my site is still glacial for speed. Page times seem to be upwards of 5 seconds plus, and more importantly, when someone tries to order my product (a backpack reader with
three options turned on) I get the following back from turning parse times on:

Parse Time: 107.252 - Number of Queries: 9072 - Query Time: 106.51242186664

If I am not mistaken, it is doing a lot of queries for the one product, and taking
a severe speed hit on the query. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to lower the query time? The more I look at my page time around the site, the more I see the query time is 80-90% of the parse time. My site (not launched yet until I get it this figured out is www.oregionrfid.biz/zen-cart. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Doug

Site cant be found

[dhenderson]

sorry, the url is www.oregonrfid.biz/zen-cart

[Merlinpa1969]

Parse Time: 4.707 - Number of Queries: 285 - Query Time: 3.9955788770905

that is completely awful, you may want to contact your host and ask them to actually optimize mysql, and or move you to a MUCH less crowded server,

Parse Time: 8.679 - Number of Queries: 722 - Query Time: 8.4286985610046

is from hitting the all products button.

These are numbers from a cart that we have the linhk is the same all products

Parse Time: 0.412 - Number of Queries: 609 - Query Time: 0.142700589615

and this is from one of their products with 27 different attributes,

Parse Time: 1.441 - Number of Queries: 3800 - Query Time: 0.918124599594

might want to show these times to your host, will give em something to shoot for.

[Merlinpa1969]

you must have gotten something figured out for the backpack reader

this is what I got

Parse Time: 6.320 - Number of Queries: 408 - Query Time: 6.0405077930756

which is still WAY SLOW
