Perfomance optimization

Dear All,

We have 3.6 version & having 3MB RAM VPS server with 250 product.  We have enabled site compression, enabled bundling & minification for js/css file, having CDN configured for images, images are optimized already but we are not getting result as expected for speed.

We have also checked pagespeed insights from google. It just say optimization of images & js compression (these js/css files are from third party like facebook so we can't compress it) & all images are compressed already, it suggest to resize it.

We want to increase our website performance while loading first time. Can you please suggest few methods/resources to check why our site is slow? Or any change in code to make it perform better. How to make it perform better. Your suggestion is highly appreciated.

Regards,
KJ

Hi, 

I will just write down what we have answered to your ticket, so other customers can see it. Everyone that has any thoughts on this can share his experience!

Here is our answer: 

We have encountered the same problems as you, but unfortunately some things in nopCommerce are not perfect.

For example, the image minification is really bad. I have tried uploading a highly optimized image with size ~40KB and after it was saved in the database by nopCommerce it became 120KB (then Google suggests me to optimize the images of course).

About the render blocking CSS and JS there is a huge discussion in the nopCommerce forum. It is the same for the HTML minification.

About the resources you are fetching from Facebook, I do not think there is something we can do.

I do not know if you are using it, but I suggest you Pingdom. 


I hope this information helped !
