My https is very fast but http very, very slow! Why?

Hi,

 

My first priority since I started have been speed and security. I have managed to accomplish this goal and I have also gotten the design to my liking with some small work on html and css. All thanks to the KB and this Community! :)

 

I'm keeping my fingers off of the core files and only make my own changes to parts where I think it is safe. Despite all my precautions some nasty behavior has found its way into my work, and I'm not able to pinpoint what it is.

 

When I go to any part of the shop with an url beginning with http, the header becomes visible immediately but the entire page is blank for about 30-40 seconds before it shows up, and it shows instantly after this period of time. Every page beginning with https are lightning fast, though.

 

Also, I have checked the error logs, but they are all as healthy as they can be, no error whatsoever.

 

As a test, I changed in configure.php so that all pages are called by https and by doing so, the problem is gone. But of course I don't want the shop to be SSL all over, I want it to be spidered also.

 

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Since the shop isn't just yet ready for the public view I sent you a PM yesterday, but never heard from you again.

 

But a friend from elsewhere, a professional osC coder, offered to take a look. From his computer he couldn't replicate the problem I'm experiencing. In other words everything worked as supposed to.

 

Today I run a few pages through a free website speed checker (selfseo) which gave me these results:

Domain name Size Load Time Average Speed per KB

1 www.mysite/index.php 68.35 KB 1.38 seconds 0.02 seconds

2 www.mysite/contact_us.php 60.91 KB 1.28 seconds 0.02 seconds

3 www.selfseo.com/ 38.34 KB 1.72 seconds 0.04 seconds

4 www.mysite/empty.htm 0.21 KB 0.68 seconds 3.24 seconds

 

What does the results say you guys?

 

I think it looks good and also odd, since the empty.htm contains nothing.

 

Still I don't understand why on the http pages the header becomes visible immidiately, but not the rest until 40 seconds. If I hit View Source at once, the whole page is present, every single line down to the last dot, but visible in my browser - no! Well that is, after 40 seconds it is!

 

I have Chemos debug script and it shows that I have parse times between 0.190 to 0.300 seconds.

 

Could it be my computer, modem, router?

 

I run this command a few times: ipconfig/release, ipconfig/renew but to no avail.

 

I would appreciate some insight whether to look for a new computer or whatnot!

 

TIA

PS. I don't doubt the osCommerce application, it is rock solid, but it has to emanate from somewhere... DS.

I did reply having sent your site through a speed checker and I had the same response - No delays

 

But a friend from elsewhere, a professional osC coder, offered to take a look.

Maybe you should have asked your "Professional OSC Coder" first :-"

Sorry I didn't mean to offend you!

 

The coder I referred to is, if I'm not mistaken, one of your friends too. And I know that you are a professional osC coder as well, Ive read quite a few threads here that you are involved in, so I know that you're very capable, that's why I also was glad that you responded in the first place!

 

I thought that there should be a popup here indicating that there is a response, thought I've seen it before. I'll check my control panel again then!

 

Best Regards!
