The e-commerce.

Site moving very slow

Hi guys, I'm currently being trained to run my parent's website (which is indianarugco.com). I'm rather new to using OsCommerce so I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious or not. I'm not sure what version I'm working with, although I know its not the latest. When I first starting working for them I would just do simple things like add new products to their online catalog. (indianarugco.com/catalog) Everything went smoothly, adding new products didn't take that much time.

 

As of late though, the upload stations for adding new products are moving very slow. Infact the whole OsCommerce is moving very slowly. Even the catalog part of the store is moving slowly. I've added maybe 40 640x480 images saved at a maximum quality for the products display picture, is this what is slowing everything down? I don't know if the site has caught a bug or what. Also, I know it isn't my computer as I've tried on various different computers to work on the site and it is all very slow.

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi Clarke,

 

I thnk that 99% of your problems are caused by your image sizes! The parent site loads quite quickly, the images theer are fairly small. The catalog side is very slow but the images are HUGE. You don't need BIG images to show detail and quality. Try reducing your images to a max file size of about 30K and see if that improves things.
