Speed Boost In Cs-Cart 4.3.1 Beta

imac ) will you be adding the option to run a fully secure site?? HTTPS://

A switch that fixes and makes all the appropriate changes… ??

[quote]we used not very good server.[/quote]

But it did have 6GB of RAM which is the more critical resource for big SQL queries. Were the test done with single user? Or did you load it up to have several simultaneious users doing some common and some separate activities?


[quote]So during beta testing we will try to bring the incompatibility to zero.[/quote]

This would be terrific from my perspective.



On the incorporation of Hack, are you doing this for the optimizer or are you going to be doing actual Hack language changes to code? I.e. will we all have to find new code editors that can deal with code tagged '?hh'?

1 > 0 Great News, another step forward, Thank you







HTML / CSS3 version can be found here



Keep on smiling,

Not yet, probably in one of the 4.3 minor versions.

For those who is interested in this, here is KB article: CS-Cart Documentation — CS-Cart 4.15.x documentation

Will this release also have an impact on mobile rendering and load time. I am using one of the built in responsive templates, and when checking with seo-tools like: woorank.com - they always report back that my websites load very slow on mobile devices. They also report that the wesites are not optimized for mobile visitors, for some reason.

Hi Tony,



The tests were done with a simple user. In fact I just executed the queries directly in MySQL using “NO_SQL_CACHE” parameter.



Yes, 6GB is a good parameter for server, but there was a SATA disk. So on my macbook the heavy queries were executed 3 times faster, whereas all other queries took several times longer. I suppose this is because my laptop has SSD.

So I would say it like this: The memory is only critical for MySQL queries if they can be optimized so no disk operation will be used.

We are not going to incorporate some Hack code to CS-Cart core.

Our objectives is to make CS-Cart fully compatible with HHVM.

The main problem with mobile optimization is images: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=bullet.demo.cs-cart.com&tab=mobile

We are considering adding some tools for optimizing resized thumbnails, that will improve CS-Cart mobile rating.

For those who is interested in this, here is KB article: http://kb.cs-cart.co…tps-whole-store

BE AWARE the KB is not 100% correct. the redirect must have a 301 with it as otherwise search engines do not treat the redirect as a 301 permanent but as 302 temp, to keep the link juice, it should be as below.

I had a message from support a month ago saying they would change the KB but not its not done yet


RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.your_domain.com/$1[R301,L,NE]

[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=3]i hope you will consider expanding the Social login addon from login to registration also.[/size][/font][/color]



[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=3]Why? Well, 40% of online users actually prefer creating an account through a social network to creating a new account. [/size][/font][/color]



[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=3]The result? A significant reduction in order abandonment, a 36% increase in the conversion rate for users connected via these networks, and a rise in customer loyalty.[/size][/font][/color]



[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=3]Usability is the key to profitability: make it easier for your customers to register with your store.[/size][/font][/color]

And the G+ button is not working on http://bullet.demo.cs-cart.com/electronics/cell-phones/apple-iphone/apple-iphone-4s-black/

It seems that an additional step was added into the mix when using the product filters.



In previous versions, a visitor would click on say “red dress” and the filter would immediately update the product list. In this version, after the visitor clicks on the desired filter they need to also click on “show” and only then will the product list update.



Why are we adding steps/clicks?



We should be working towards reducing friction from the the shopping experience not adding!



I sure hope this was not an attempt at “speed improvements” or “optimization”.



Your thought?

Does this version also resolve/improve the speed issues with the image zoom addon?

There are a lot of html errors on beta site

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbullet.demo.cs-cart.com%2F&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0

also on product pageshttp://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbullet.demo.cs-cart.com%2Felectronics%2Fcell-phones%2Fapple-iphone%2Fapple-iphone-4s-white%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

big like for the similar filter :) price range can be also aplied… great job :D

Does anyone know what has changed in 4.3.1. with regards to import/export of Options & Option Combinations?



There was a lot of need for some changes here. See uservoice and its comments: http://Product options variants/combinations total import



I (sigh) do not have the expertise nor facilities to be able to download & test the beta version. So any details are very welcome!



Thank you in advance

Brownleather you are right, there is an extra step in Filtering process.

This is done because we have removed the number of products near each variant. So now the customer first see the number of products he will sen and in case he click “Show” he will see the results. This was essential for speed optimization.
