Opencart performance issue [closed]

Question

Opencart having performance issue and takes time to load when the number of category is high, currently i am having 250+ categories and around 5000 products. anyone help...

Answer 1

Have you tried any of the category count removals? That seems to be the answer to most. if not, then a page cache mod is what you need. Note that you will need vQmod to be able to use both of those

Answer 2

Test your page at http://gtmetrix.com Reduce image size and check needed quality. Check your .htaccess for expireheaders on images and script. Add last to file:

#Expire Header
<FilesMatch "\.(js|css|swf)$">
ExpiresDefault "access plus 2 week"
</FilesMatch>

or

# enable expirations
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2 week"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2 week"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2 week"
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 2 week"
ExpiresByType image/pjpeg "access plus 2 week"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "modification plus 2 week"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "modification plus 2 week"
ExpiresByType text/css "modification plus 2 week"
