    Default Store loading slow

    For some reason my store is loading really slow. I've asked my ISP and host to both look into it and their conslusions is that it's zen cart itself. Is there anyway to optimize the loading time of the store? You can find my store located at www.vinashcoaching.com/store thanks for your help.

    You are pretty heavy on the image and file size - http://www.websiteoptimization.com/s...ing.com/store/

    but, Zen Cart is also fairly resource intense and needs a well optimized server that is NOT overloaded.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    Has anyone ever had a problem with DreamHost? That is what I'm using atm...I'm not that technical but that report you ran for me Kim indicates what you said about large file sizes...do you think if I reduce the size of them is that really going to make the performance difference I'm looking for? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    As to the image file size:

    Screen resloution is 72dpi - So an image that is a default 100x80px is about 1x0.75 inch or approximately 3k

    So if you dfile size is 6, 10, or 20k You are only wasting bandwidth and slowing your page loading as the image quality does not improve
