product images

Whats the best way to keep the site clean when you have 10k items?

I had a host at one time that was very slow so i had to create the small, med and lrg images and place them in there correct folders and this helped 1000 fold.

But i have long sense moved from that host and my current host has a file count limit even though the total size count is small just the share number of files makes the site a little slower.

ive got 70k plus files with 35k being the image files

i was going to install ih2 or some other addon that will do a better job then the built in way the cart takes the file and makes the three sizes when someone clicks a product.

halloweenspace.com is the site

ive got 70k plus files with 35k being the image files
Do you mean 70MB??
when you have 10k items
With that many items you should be profitable enough for your own server...no limits

IH2 will help some

nope its 70000 files.

I wise for the first two years we had a DUMB#### for a developer and the site was never running correctly until three weeks before our season so money and time lost. we have a lot of major issues we are trying to get working correctly (mostly backend xml to php intagration and ftp issues now with changes our isp made without letting anone know (does is almost working correctly)) then we have to get a good SEO person to go though it all and fix these issues for ranking.

Yes i hope it was all working so that is did make money.

Looks like most of it is working now i just have to delete all images and upload only the one file for the basic image.

For some reason it would not delete them but now it will let me delete them without error...why it would not work before without any changes? it most be the gremlins....

any other thoughts are welcome thanks again, its been a while that i had to post anything and as always you are right there when needed.
