Site is slow wonder why??

Hello all,

After installing magento on custom app and installed APC and followed several other method to speed up my site. Eventually site is fast enough but still on first instance when it connect it tooks around 5 sec to load the site.

I wonder Is it Domain lookup taking time for finding site or any other issues realted to my site?

site is www.wingmirrorsmarket.co.uk

I notice once its been connected (first loaded) then site is fast enough to my accepted level of fastness.

Thanks for your time.

You're probably serving your static media (like images) directly from your custom Apache app. Since Apache is doing the extra work of serving your static media, it takes longer to process your PHP.

To fix that, use a static-only symlink app to serve your image directories (eg whatever directory this image lives in).

Could you please point out any documentation how to do that ?

We don't have any documentation for your specific applicaiton, but it would be very similar to this procedure for WordPress, with the following changes:

In step 2.f, use the path to your media directory instead of the wp-content/uploads directory, eg /home/you/webapps/yourapp/htdocs/media
In step 3.e, use /media for the URL path instead of /wp-content/uploads

0	Magento is quite heavy and resource hungry application, certainly 5 seconds is to long for rendering 17Kb of HTML. Have you enabled caching in your control panel? permanent link answered 16 May '11, 11:41 Naz 18●2●6 accept rate: 0% Yes, I did enable (16 May '11, 15:29) webbyfox
