hi,
i am running a cs-cart ultimate 4.2.4 with about 18,000 products at the moment. i am using a VPS by hostgator, but somehow i am not at all satisfied by our store speed. really need help on how to fix things to improve things to work quicker for our customers and backend staff.
some example cases when the speed is really slow:
the first repose from server is really slow.
when i change status of an order in backend, it takes really too long.
a customer changes shipping method (takes too long)

the hosting cpu is always working at peak. dont know why its asking too much resources.
also i want to know if i need to install any mod on server for speed? like google mod_pagespeed??
soon i am planning to add about 50k more products, next month.. really dont know how will server react on this.
the "cscart_stored_sessions" table is nearly 2gb in size. we have about 6000 visits per day as of now.
please recommend me what changes and tweaks can fix up my server.
