I seem to have issues when I turn on category product count, has any one else had this? if you turn it on, the spin wheel appears and the site is very very slow responding, does anyone know how many resources this is using when its turned on?
This has been a problem for many years. It has never been resolved every one just says take the count off. It counts every product in every category and sub category on every page load.
Opencart sites I am currently working on:
http://www.cablecafe.co.uk
http://www.exclusivelygorgeous.co.uk/
Not quite correct, it has been 'corrected', at least, for the v.1.5.6.x Versions, by use of s small modification, CACHING the product amount numbers, and call it's Value first, by the prog, from the Cache, if one exists. Since then, there is NO real important difference, between Counting beeing switched on, or off. OC does not shut it off completely, anyway, in some places, like Pagebreak, it's used, to make it work.jrfcomputing wrote:This has been a problem for many years. It has never been resolved...
And even, if there would, Customers will always appreciate to know, what's in the BOX...! I forget the link, but you may find it here, I run a testshop with 15 K active Product. Counting switched on, and cached, and all my Mod's used, are linked on the Front Page, further down...

Either, it works the same way, on V.2.x , or then, it's already built-in, or then, it should be a DEFAULT Option, at least, I guess...
Good Luck

It depends. if one runs a default OC Shop, with 10 Categories, each containing 5 Subcategories, and every one contains 20 Products, and the Site serves a two digit amount of Customers a day, I guess, one will never have a Problem, with GoDaddy or whoever. Like a regular Automobile, on a regular Road, it just run's.gsc1ugs wrote:either> is it efficient or not the way it is? not being argumentative but constructive?>
Anything else is a Matter of Tuning. But don't expect to find a well done, fully equipped, and highly tuned Race Car, in Front of a Car Outlet, just waiting to be picked up, for free!
Not being argumentative either, just hopefully understud.

PS. Check my image, and you'll find your Cache Section. If it contains 'stuff', the cache works.
