Prestashop Performance Issue

Question

Hi one of my client has a website for which she has used prestashop, but she is facing alot of problem with respect to the performance. We actually deleted the cache and used the smart cache method for increasing the performance but it was still of no use. I'm totally new to prestashop, i tried checking with respect to the server bandwidth and we were utilizing hardly 5% of the bandwidth provided. So we asked the previous developer of the website and he was had no clue what was happening. Could you please help me out in solving the performance issue thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In administration panel of Prestashop, go to Preferences > Performances.

For Smarty :

• Force compilation : No
• Cache : Yes

For Cache :

• Use cache : Yes
• Cache system : Memcached (if you have installed it, otherwise File System that I haven't tested)

If you haven't installed memcached, install it, it can improve your website performance.

• Linux (apt) : apt-get install memcached
• Linux (yum) : yum install memcached

Once memcached is installed, restart your webserver.

Answer 2

Everything is correct what @kmass suggested however i suggest you to enable all the options under the CCC (Combine, Compress and Cache) form in Performance Tab aswell.

Thank you guys for helping me with the problem, i had enabled and used the options provided by you but the problem was none of those. The actual problem was that my client was uploading images of very high resolution which she captured using her DSLR camera.
