[SOLVED] OC 2.3 slow when clicking on modifications

Takes a long time just getting to the modifications page. Takes just as long clearing and refreshing. Anything I can do to speed it up?
Thanks

Yep , place a link to your Site, so we don't have to waste time,
trying to find out by writing back and forth!

Sounds like you're on slow hosting?

OK, lets try this again. This is the modifications page in the admin... Not sure how posting the site would help, but it is www.kdnovelties.com. Also, the site itself loads quickly and we're in the high 90s for all page speed tests... So that rules out the hosting provider...

Thanks

Well, you may be in the high 90es in Google Check Mobile View, but on other
Test Sites, it sometimes looks a little different. It's also the result of the gigantic
Javascript in the header. To compress too many scripts into one does not only
have advantages, since all of them are then placed into the header part, beeing
called by every single pageload, regardless of, if they are used on certain pages
or not.
Among other small misses, even broken links and a bunch of redirects exist,
when checking category Pages. And this is what I usually do, because a Main Page
is only called once by a visitor, so, those Pages, used most, should load exellent ...
Google is the Best in producing search results, but when it comes to test Pages,
they are, at best, about ranking in Place 5 !
Good Luck!

PS: Nothing personal, and it only concerns the front !

Ernie, thanks for this information and yes, nothing personal, I appreciate the response and help.

Sadly, I need the redirects as the site structure has changed and the old urls are listed everywhere. I do have those redirects in the database using an extension and not in the htaccess file. But even turning this extension off did not help. I have a test site which is an exact replica, except for a few extension that are not there since they require a site licenses, these being NitroPack and AbandonedCarts by iSenseLabs. I'm not sure if these would be the cause, but clearing the cache and refreshing on the test site is instant. Mind you, it wasn't always like that (the test site). When I finished developing in test and went live to the new site, the test site was just as slow, but the live site was fast. Then I rebuilt the test site last week, importing the database from the live, and everything was fast again. The live site has gotten slower over time. We've only been live 2 months with OC. I was hoping there was a way to speed it up. I'm new to OC coming from CubeCart (old version 4x), and don't know OC well yet.

Thanks again for the help. Looking at your profile, I see we have similar backgrounds. I too have been a Computer-Freak since the 70s. Although I gravatated towards networking instead of programming.

Do you do site optimizations as far as speed is concerned? If so, PM or email me pricing and a list of what is included.

Thanks

Sorry, but I never touched Nitro-Pack, it's hard enough for an old colorblind
Hobby-Coder, to find his way by going 'step by step', and as close to oc-default
as possible. And if one uses NirtroPack, one should better not play around the
'manual' way too, it could have a negative overall-effect on performance.

Only after 'refining' everything else, I am gonna decide on, what Code shall be
combined, and in wich form, in order to avoid long loading time in any section.
Exept for the Product Page, there, it does not matter, timewise at least ...

So, globally 'assigned' modification of code, as it possibly can be set in Nitro,
may not be the upmost 'speadiest' solution. It all depends on, what one offers
on Products and other 'Results' on a Page, and how heavy sized images one uses.
Also, additional Extensions or Custom Themes will have an effect on performance.

But when it comes to all those shiny Gizmo's on a Page, linking to somewhere,
likely even executing remotly placed Pic's and JS as well, then, one has a Problem,
because Test-Sites don't like such very much, since they all only act as brakes, and
should therefore better not even be placed in socalled key-pages.

So, what should I say more, check on GTMetrix, they are the most detailled, when it
comes to explaining, what and where something needs to be done. Then, if you have
specific questions on details like size-untagged images or .htaccess hints, you likely
get some answers here.

And regarding Googie, if I need 500 Thumbs weight-reduced at once, I use it, to then
temporarely produce a 98 - 99 on GTMetrix Pageload, but other than that, I don't care,
if Google donates a 75%(M) + 90%(W) Rating, as long as I get an 88%(M) + 98%(W)
Rating for the same category Page at GTMetrix, and usually 100% overall at Pigdom.

Good Luck !

Pro tip: you probably have a huge ocMod log file. If you delete that in the "Log" tab it should speed up to a normal page load speed.

wow 3 year search solution for this problem and you resolved, all ok thk master god!!!!!!!

Ha, glad I could help. I'll be adding an automatic refresh of that log to my OpenCart Admin Improvements, since this happens to lots of people and they don't realize the cause. There's no real reason it needs to be stored forever, just for the last refresh, so that should help address it.

Oh Mr Johnathan... you've done it again.
I think the OP wasn't asking about page speed, rather they were asking about MODFICATIONS page in the backend speed.
I've experienced this forever... and I just put it down to how many vqmods I have running... clearing the log has made such a massive difference.
Now to find our how to TURN OFF modifications cache logging.
