How to improve website load speed?
Reduce the load time?

Why do you think that OC is slow and that it is not related to your server?

I've tried two servers~ Web load times 12.8s~ it's to slow~

How to optimize?

Can you help me?

Original template, server config, amount of categories/products?

the problem solved.~it Is the server's problem ~
but~How to better optimize the website so it can load with the shortest times.

Is anyone know how to modify the files so that we can use gzip to compress the resourses below to reduce the load time of the site.These are the resources we want to compress:
/catalog/view/javascript/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js
/catalog/view/javascript/jquery/tab.js
/catalog/view/javascript/jquery/thickbox/thickbox-compressed.js
/catalog/view/javascript/jquery/thickbox/thickbox.css
/catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet/stylesheet.css

And these two pictures are the same, can we set the files so it only call one? I think this is good for the load time of the site.
catalog/view/theme/default/image/icon_special.png
catalog/view/theme/default/image/icon_bestseller

Thanks for help!!

Add Apache Module mod_deflate on your server and control what file extensions you want compressed via htaccess.

add this to your htaccess after the module has been installed.
