Hello,
I'm new to this, i've been using CCP 5.1 for about 4 months and I think it's great. This is my first time using a shopping cart for a website and it was pretty easy to set up. Anyway, the only problem I have is that when my wesite loads and when somenoe navigates through it it's slow. I have about 650 products that I sell and I'm wondering if it's because of this. Or is it because of the server my website uses. I didn't set up the server. someone set up that for me. If you want to check it out go to and tell me what you think. Thank you.

It makes totally sense that it goes slow. You must optimize your DBI Modules over mySQL so the database won't slow down.

scoutch · 12-15-2003 10:05:43

Also, if you don't know how to use mySQL, you can also use remote HTML page. This way, it won't slow down a bit.

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately i'm really new at this, so I don't really understand what all you wrote means. Is there any way you can dumb it down for me. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again.

I sent you an e-mail, I'm waiting for your reply.

I'd be interested in information on remote HTML pages, also.

scoutch · 12-16-2003 16:21:46

Very simple. Remote HTML Page is meant to use yourproductfile.html -> cp-app.cgi's cart page. It will add a product without using the database as a root. This way, you can add much more products on your site instead of using the same database (which "will" slower your process in your database if you're not using mySQL Database).

Does that answer to your question ?

There are two factors that will influence the speed at which ccp51 will run:

1. The default set-up for the program is that all files use .csv format. When the site is finished these csv files should be converted to database files using the Database utility. This will improve speed.

2. ccp51 requires an up-to-date server running at a high clock rate and using plenty of RAM. Try to get on a server running at 2.0Ghz with 512K or 1Gig of RAM.

Please refer to the ccp51 software manual to gain an understanding of how to set up the database, depending on which database your server may be supporting.

I too am having my site running really slow. I have MySQL connections which I've utilized. There aren't many products at all currently but the site is sluggish. It seems slightly faster in Netscape than IE.

Any ideas on how to further optimize things? Its set up in a shared environment. I have also disabled Page Access Logging, Daily Access Logging, and Product Access Logging in hope of speeding things up. I didn't notice much of a difference.

How much RAM is allocated to your shopping cart?

webmaster · 06-24-2004 12:42:09

Usually disabling some stats in Global Settings will help speed things up.

Can someone please explain this to me. I really need to do this because my site is running unusually slow (around a dial-up speed).

It appears that CSV is kind of the "native" database that CCP uses until it is configured otherwise. I need to find out how to convert the CSV files to mySQL. i looked in the database utility but i have no idea what to do

Thanks.

one2ku · 08-19-2004 19:35:29

figured it out.
contacted my server and set up mysql.
i'm going to convert everything now and see if it helps
the speed of my cart.

Hi,

I must say that our site is slow loading the main page, I have 4 items in the database. Cant be the database or images too large?
Seems to be an inherent thing with CCP, can the main page load any faster?

I have a META Refresh but that sould not be it?

dtwg · 03-08-2005 22:46:20

I visited and didn't find the load times too bad, but perhaps a little slow. The biggest improvement in performance is almost always gained by running most database tables in RDBMS mode. I didn't see anything else that should be slowing things down -- graphics look OK, etc. It just has that "csv" feel to it...

HTH,

Dave
