Guest Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Hi OSC experts, need some advice please. My site is painfully slow and the admin secion is almost unusable also as it takes so long for the page to load. I realise that there are ways to improve the speed of an OSC site, but it seems that there is something specific causing this, but what? I am on a dedicated server and dedicated IP, so I should not be effected by others. Your advice and recommendations are appreciated, cheers. site is IT Shop Online
Guest Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Sorry, this looks like it is a problem with my browser (IE V7) rather than osc, as viewing my site with firefox it's ok.

digipete Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Yikes! The first time I loaded it in IE7 it came down quickly but with a lot of broken stamps (images). The second time was much slower but with more images coming through. The third time I refreshed I think it hung up completely. Pete
jonquil Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Try pulling out your Boldchat temporarily and see if you notice a different in load time. It also looks like you have two shops running: 1 at the root/; 1 at root/catalog/index.php. This can seriously affect load time. 1. Pull your bold chat code out of both stores. If no joy, 2. Decide where your store is going to live and just have one :) 3. The products images are either not on the server, or perhaps you keyed in a path instead of browsing your local machine to local the image when creating/editing a product. Hope this helps. jon It's all just ones and zeros....

When the site is ready I will move it to it-shop-online.co.uk The name servers aren't pointing to the temp address so I added "DirectoryIndex catalog/index.php" into the .htaccess file....however after removing this from the .htaccess the site is much faster...still slow, but it works. I tried removing bold chat but no effect. The product images are a different story and I am still trying to upload them all to the server.
