Hi, I'm currently evaluating nopCommerce in terms if its performance. Does anyone has made a performance analysis (loading times, caching, engines performance, etc) of nopCommerce when compared with other solutions such as Volusion, aspdotnetstorefront, etc? Thanks FG
MikeCaldera is on the money with that summation. It's performance is great for small stores that don't do much traffic or revenue on an adequated shared hosting space with shared SQL Server, and it's great for busy sites/huge inventories with adequate VPS or dedicated server hosting.
I've got one client running nopCommerce on $7.95/month shared hosting whose site is extremely quick, and I've got another one with 2 dedicated servers (web/SQL) in order to be as fast.. It really just depends...average and peak number of concurrent users, amount of system RAM and CPU, etc..
Also, there is a built-in Mini-Profiler which you can enable after installing. It is an excellent tool for analyzing the performance on every page/aspect of a nopCommerce site.
If you do enable this on a test site, it will tell you what you need to know, but to get a real sense of the potential performance, you'd need to have roughly the same amount of products in your database (and photos with approximately the same file sizes), and create approximately the same load on the server (number of concurrent users) when running the mini-profiler.
Also, the addition of custom or commercial plugins and/or themes will impact performance to some degree.
