I refactored the configuration. Please, let me know about the errors.

All good, no errors detected yet.

I started a vultr vps in Sydney, 8gb ram, 4 cpu, SSD. page load times still around 3 seconds, could be just vps provider crap.

Also, if I enable imagik, front page becomes 200kb larger.

Perhaps you should think about profiling CS-Cart (for example, via xhprof) and searching bottlenecks. I can help you with it.

do we need to add :

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<filesMatch "\.(js|css|html|php)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</filesMatch>
</IfModule>

to htaccess for mod deflate or is it already in 4.3.1?

I'm getting problems with the Point 5

5. use APCu for cache, and redis for sessions. The config.local.php file should have the following lines:
$config['cache_backend'] = 'apc';
$config['session_backend'] = 'redis';

if I change that values in config.local.php the site doesn't work (white page)

Your php configuration has to support apc and redis.

[Rafass]

How can I do that?

[kogi]

How can I do that?

Are you on shared hosting? Then you have to contact your hosting provider. I am guessing they will say no.

[Rafass]

VPS. exactly what I have to request to them?

[mokeshop]

to setup... php to 5.6,install opcache ,apcu... and redis... if you want all

[Rafass]

I can not understand the point 5 and these configuration doesn't work
$config['cache_backend'] = 'apc';
$config['session_backend'] = 'redis';
Exactly what I have to request to the hosting provider or what I have to do Imac?

Ask your hosting provider to install the following software:

• Redis-server
• PHP extensions: redis, apcu.

Hi,
I would like to use/try the recommended settings:
$config['cache_backend'] = 'apc';
$config['session_backend'] = 'redis';

My config is not as simple as stated in the post. Should I just substitute, "apc" for "file" and "redis" for "database" and everything stays the same?
Below is my config.local.php
I am on a lightspeed server, have php 5.6 and have apc and redis extensions. I am using cs-cart version 4.2.4
Thank you,
Bob

// Cache backend
// Available backends: file, sqlite, database, redis
// To use sqlite cache the "sqlite3" PHP module should be installed
$config['cache_backend'] = 'file';
$config['cache_redis_server'] = 'localhost';
$config['cache_redis_global_ttl'] = 0; // set this if your cache size reaches Redis server memory size

// Storage backend for sessions. Available backends: database, redis
$config['session_backend'] = 'database';
$config['session_redis_server'] = 'localhost';

Yes. Don't forget about support for Redis and APCu in PHP.

I just can;t get this to run as well, mostly a slow first time byte: http://www.webpagete.../150511_55_WC9/

[kickoff3pm]

You may need to install redis as it doesn't come as standard and I think Sqlite only really shows as available in php 5.5

[Rafass]

Ask your hosting provider to install the following software:

• Redis-server
• PHP extensions: redis, apcu.

Thank you!

Hi,
I selected redis, apcu, opcache in php5.6 My host lets me select these in cPanel. Then, after checking with my host to make sure I don't have problems, I was informed that on the shared hosting account I have, all of the above are not supported/allowed. I guess if I changed my config, then nothing good would happen!

I assume the recommendations by cs-cart are for those with dedicated servers and VPS. The ones with shared hosting may not be able to use the recommendation. I could have made the changes and then wonder why nothing was working or working worse..
Right now I am using, from my previous post::
$config['cache_backend'] = 'file';
$config['session_backend'] = 'database'
Are there better choices for someone on shared hosting could use?
Thanks,
Bob

[amdowney]

Thank you!

OK, but there is no cscart config to be done otherwise, it should automatically speed up?

[Rafass]

Understand, mmm. well, I'm afraid that I can not use ACP and redis in my hosting now...
IMHO... with the actual configuration is not the best speed I was waiting for.
you can try, (the link in my signature) there are not products, is a beta project yet. with the actual configuration loading pictures in the categories is still slow.
This is a video uploaded with 4.2 some months ago loading the same pictures:

Yes, now is more fast, but is not awesome, I guess I have to find the way to use that php configuration in another hosting.
