Nopcommerce slow?

Hi there, moved a nopCommerce installation (folder) from one server to another (my own dedicated server) I use to get keep alive in the logs, now I do not... I am assuming the "task" is not setup now on the new server?

Do I need to run the install again, maybe?

I tried using the keep alive forever service and found it was not working and it did not email me when I made the site unavailable. I am currently trying out www.247webmonitoring.com and it seems to be working much better so far

Hi everyone,

I also experienced slow performance from nopCommerce (3 secs to load pages), despite having a dedicated server.  After trying various caching solutions that did not help, I stumbled onto a simple and effective fix: simply disable the option to show 'number of distinct products beside each category'.

To do so: Administration > Config > Global Settings > Products > uncheck first option.

That's it.

Now pages load in about 1 sec, despite numerous product pictures.

For those of you who would like to see this working, visit http://store.figure-archive.net

This worked for me also.  Most of the testers had my site taking in the 8 second range to load.  After disabling the number of products in each category they all dropped by like 5 seconds.  There is something seriously wrong with that option.

For those on dedicated servers they might also try using the IIS Warmup Module to re-initialize the app when the app pool recycles.  I haven't used this for NopCommerce, but on other IIS hosted apps that cache a lot of data.  It works. Keeps the app primed so your first visitor after an app pool recycle doesn't have to take the caching initialization hit.

Hi All,
I realized that if you are on SQL Express then it will be slow too. If you are MSSQL Server then it is faster

How so?  SQL Server Express is the same engine as the other versions with certain limits imposed.  

- Maximum database size of 4 GB per database (10 GB for SQL Server Express 2008 R2;[2] compared to 2 GB in the former MSDE). The limit applies per database (log files excluded); but in some scenarios users can access more data through the use of multiple interconnected databases.[citation needed]
- No SQL Server Agent service[3]
- Hardware-utilization limits:
  - Single physical CPU, but multiple cores allowable[4]
  - 1 GB of RAM (runs on a system with any RAM amount, but uses only at most 1 GB)

That's what makes me kind of being amazed. Since I had access to dreamspark I download the 2008 R2 and I can see that it is better. This topic need to be looked into it. However I do not have any tools to major the performance unless I use something like Jmeter to write some scenarios and test.

I had the same problem when i was browsing the catalogue and i found out it was the setting that shows the number of products at the end of the catalogue category
