Site Speed - down to 7 seconds after adding products and product sliders

Permalink January 09, 2013 at 10:38 AM

Hi Team

I have almost finished this site design, I had all the add-ons ready and set-up and installed ecom add-ons all styled. This put the loading time up to around 1-2 seconds.

http://www.minitrix.co.uk

But Now after adding lots of products ow and the side accordion menus on left the site has slowed right down to around 7- 8 seconds on load!

This is far to much can any one help me find why its taking so long?

I have read the forums and have added the following to .htaccess

also installed Xclydes Utilities - 1.0.6

As a front page you have a lot of stuff on it.

Maybe reduce some of that and move it to second level pages.
Maybe ajax load some that is not immediately needed/visible, especially where all the images are (but google won't search that content)

Look at adding 'Miser' to reduce js and css by combining and minifying.

Hi John

What is Miser?

Yes I have realised that their is a lot loading on the front page..

The issue I am having is the as a sales site I want to be able to display lots of products on a page and have the tabs for a product search options.

I have noticed if I remove the bottom product ticker It reduces the load time by 1 second!

Also the 2 side menus seem to slow it down again!

Its the home page loading speed seems to wait 3-4 seconds I think loading all the css for all the addons on the page!

I am just moving the site to a more powerfull server as its on a test bed to see if that makes an issue!

Regards
Carl
