Hi,

You can post your mail in this topic and we will send an experimental cache plugin, which can improve your website performance:

We have sent the cache extension to you. Please, share if it makes difference.

Did you ever test the cache extension we have sent to you ?

Here’s how to test page generation time:

1. open /index.php

2. put these lines in the beginning, immediately after the opening <?php tag:

$starttime = explode(' ', microtime());
$starttime = $starttime[1] + $starttime[0];

3. Go to the end of the file and replace $response->output(); with:

ob_start();

// Output
$response->output();

$contents = ob_get_contents();

$mtime = explode(' ', microtime());
$totaltime = $mtime[0] + $mtime[1] - $starttime;

ob_end_clean();

if (false !== strstr($contents, '</body>')) {
    echo str_replace('</body>', sprintf("\n<br /><br /><small class=\"small\">Page generation time: %.5f seconds</small>\n</body>", $totaltime), $contents);
} else{
    echo $contents;
}

You should observe the page generation time at the very bottom of every page on the site. This change doesn’t hurt the performance or google ranking, so you can leave it safely for now.

Please, make this modification and enable the Shoppica experimental cache extension we have sent. Can we get the website url and admin access, if possible. You can use hidepost to share private information with the support staff.

Let us know when you’re done.

We disabled the cache extensions you have installed and enabled the Shoppica one only – the page load of http://www.nattacosme.com/073-Brand is 4-6 sec, which is slow. With the default opencart theme, the page load is much slower – 14-18 sec. Obviously Shoppica + SmartCache is 3 times faster, still not fast enough though.

Then we re-enabled the cache extensions you have installed, while keeping Shoppica smartCache also enabled. The page load dropped to about 1 second. I think that’s the maximum you can expect.
