Speed Optimzation

There has been a noticeable difference in my web site speed lately.

 

Is there a relatively easy way I can determine what the culprit is? I have the same number of products as before, but it takes forever to paint a screen that has only five small images. In fact, everything I do seems to take longer -- things such as going into admin, phpMyAdmin, etc.

 

I have installed page cache and cname,pname contributions, although I'm not sure cname, pname is working as it should since I don't see any change in the cache file it creates.

 

Anyway, I would like to know if there is a way I can know what is causing the slow down.

 

Any suggestions? Thanks.

A basic start is to run the page(s) through a web page speed check site - just browse for this and input your URL - the sites will give you pointers that you can start looking at.

 

When it goes past that point then you will need to talk with optimize gurus - a few of those do answer questions here :D

a shared host is also a place to look, the server load overall may be low however the sql processes may be high. most hosts will put a few thousand people per server and your site can then kind of die speed wise. basically, you get what you pay for. higher the cose, for the most part the faster your site is on a server.

Install queries debug output which will give you a quick per page summary of how long each query takes and the overall PHP page parse time. This will let you know how fast the MySQL server is running the queries and also how fast the parser is producing the intermediate code. If both of them look good then look to bandwidth issues (images, etc).
