Upgraded to 2.7 .... still slow :(

Hello,
I have been testing nopcommerce for a new ecommerce site and was for months running 2.6 but won't go live with it because it's painfully slow. I already went through implementing suggestions to speed up things a bit but so far no luck. I was really excited to see 2.7 came out which is touted to be optimized for performance. But after the upgrade, I didn't see any improvement.

Here's the website running on nopcommerce 2.7 http://www.baghangersonline.com

In comparison, here's another website running on the same server. The site is built using the old, first generation Commerce Starter Kit (CSK). http://www.epektos.com

As you can see, the older site smokes nopcommerce in terms of speed.

I'm really rooting for nopcommerce since I thinks it's one of the feature rich shopping cart solutions out there and it's free to boot, thanks to selfless contributions from people here. I hope I am just missing something, a misconfiguration probably? Hope to hear suggestions from anyone.

Thanks and more power to NOP.

Just out of curiosity I ran pingdom test on both sites and and epektos.com is much faster, but baghangersonline.com is not that bad (i.e. acceptable).
For instance on home page:

In category listings and some product details pages baghangersonline.com speed goes to average (above 50% of all sites)

crawler486, are you on shared hosting?

Not many full featured ecommerce applications will run fast on shared hosting.

I've tried another asp.net package (AbleCommerce) on shared and it couldn't handle it.

Try VPS or dedicated and it will run good.

interesting...although manual browsing by going from one page to another doesn't really feel like both site's speed is nearly identical.

I'm using softsyshosting.com and running both sites on a Dedicated VPS (Windows Server 2008).  

One glaring difference is nopcommerce workers process memory usage hovers at 340,000K while epektos.com site only uses a mere 67,000K.

I noticed both sites are running slower than normal now. Maybe I'm sending too much traffic to the server because of this post :)

Hi

I am sure you have already done this, but have you set <compilation debug="false"> in your
web.config ? also have you set your configuration to "release" instead of Debug as this can
make a lot of difference to the performance of the site.

Kind Regards

Anyone here runs nopcommerce commerce on a shared hosting and is getting decent speed?

Thanks

Where in Web.Config will I write this?

Hi Mange221

You'll find it on line 39 in the web.config, with something like this :

<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5">

Just set the debug="false".

Hopefully that will help, also you can right click the solution folder and go to properties > Configuration Properties
and make sure this is set to Release this should also help with the speed.

Kind Regards
Ron

Hi

Just as a matter of interest, if it helps anyone and you are looking for hosting, we run my own dedicated
server's here in the UK, and only run nopCommerce on there, each site is run in it's own application pool
so it is protected from other sites in case the site goes down, also the site's and database's have daily
backups to protect against corruption and are monitored daily, if anyone is interested please contact me.

The server's we use are Dell 3.2 ghz with 16GB of memory, so super fast.

Kind Regards
