Site Loading Slowly

Ok, I've finally made some progress.

I remembered that in my dark days of X-Cart administration I would do a SQL export/import when things got real laggy and it would help for awhile at least. I've done this with https://www.giggles.com and I'm now seeing parse times of under a second. :clap:

Parse Time: 0.592 - Number of Queries: 162 - Query Time: 0.0749620353241
Parse Time: 0.779 - Number of Queries: 269 - Query Time: 0.114330349075

Don't know what magic that does to the DB, maybe reindexing?

Performance issues is giving me carte blanche to view your site :cool:

Perhaps looking at your site with firefox with firebug? Under net (in firebug) you can view the response times and file sizes per subitem.

If you add web developer (also a firefox add on ) you can test with or without the browser cache on (under disable)

What is the effect if you change the cache method (file or db ) in both configure.php's?

What does changing gzip under admin.

Check your html validation (via web developer under tools)

Good hunting

Your godaddy seal is good for around 1 sec of the response time
