Hi JariwalaKunal,
I spent around 10 minutes time to see how the nopaccelerate renders product items particularly using search. I see 10 items per page: Following is my analysis

1. Data retrieved from DB is rendering fast.
2. Images related to product items looks to be OK. But, Here the image name is given is same and perhaps browser might not issue HTTP GET to retrieve the same image. For suppose, if we have unique image name for each product name and we want search such kind of items, will nopaccelarate would render the same results, I mean in terms of performance?


Look Forward to your response.



Thanks,
