josh1r Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 At what point can too many items start to slow down an osCommerce site? I recently added a few thousand items via EP and now my site runs VERY slow. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplyeasier Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 At what point can too many items start to slow down an osCommerce site? I recently added a few thousand items via EP and now my site runs VERY slow. Thanks! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> a few thousand items is very probably NOT the cause - I have read of sites here with MANY thousands of products that function normally - Look elsewhere for the slow down. - start with your host Charles A kite flies highest AGAINST the wind !

josh1r Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 I agree that my host isn't the best, but it was definately faster before i added a lot of items. I will check with them though and see what they say. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh1r Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 I checked with my host and of course they say it's not them. Any other ideas? Anything I can check to see if it really is the host? Thanks! I do pull images from other sites, but wouldn't that only affect the image on each page as I pull the page? When you say, MANY thousands, how many are you referring to? 3,000, 5,000, 10,000...? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh1r Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 I ran the output queries contribution a couple times and got this result: Current Parse Time: 5.297 s with 410 queries Current Parse Time: 4.387 s with 414 queries Is that good/bad? I have over 10,000 items in 176 categories (17 main cats and many sub-cats). I think maybe it is spending a lot of time figuring out product to category relationships... I can copy and paste the full results if that helps detemine my problem. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bglkk Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hi: Search for posts by Chemo--he's offered a lot of tips on optimization--but I guess you're already using his Queries Debug Output. :) Here's a recent one: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=132544&hl= BTW, I noticed your reference to hotlinking ("I do pull images from other sites...")--if that's what you're doing, not a cool practice. <_< "Buy the ticket, take the ride..." -HST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh1r Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Thanks. I checked that forum already but nobody else had nearly as many queries as I did (so i'm assuming that's my problem). Regarding the other images, they are from an affiliate site so I'm allowed/supposed to pull from them. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bglkk Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Regarding the other images, they are from an affiliate site so I'm allowed/supposed to pull from them. Thanks again! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good enough then. Guess I'm a little touchy from unauthorized leeching of our graphics. :o But what happens if the affiliate server has problems? At least if you put the graphics on your server, you're self-reliant... Oh well, that's another topic.
