Hi,
v3.1 - nopAjaxFilters from nopTemplates MAY be a performance issue
Seeing the forums are covered with concerns about performance I have noticed that if you are running the nopAjaxFilters from nopTemplates, this can be one of the causes. It depends on many other factors but as an example I have:
1 category (120 products approx)
2 categories with zero products (still busy setting up)
10 specification attributes
and page loads are extremely slow as you can see from this pic, and the reason why highlighted in red:

The category controller is also problematic as you can see in the pic, but when I disable the nopAjaxFilters page load times are back to normal (approx 200ms).
Hope this might help others. I have informed the people at nopTemplates also.
Regards,
Richard
