Hi is https slower than http on a shared server.

 

The reason I ask is I installed osCommerce on https (In hindsight http would have been fine) and the site seems slower than areas that are on http

ssl is slower on any server than a standard http connection.

 

There are other disadvantages to running your store that way as well.

 

Just change

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', ''); in the configure.php file to your http address.

Local: Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Apache 2.2/php 5.3.0/MySQL 5.4.10 • Web Servers: Linux

Tools: BBEdit, Coda, Versions (Subversion), Sequel Pro (db management)

Of course https is slower than http :D

 

Consider the extra workload the server needs to do whilst encrypting all of the page contents and then sending these to the client. ;)
