PrestaShop optimization - speed up your store and server

In the following article we write about what work the optimal process of complete optimization of a PrestaShop store should consist of, and what are the approximate costs associated with the implementation of selected components of the optimization process.

PrestaShop optimization

Fast and flawless operation of the store, security, higher positions in search results, comfort of users while browsing the store - for these values it is worth optimizing the PrestaShop store. Store development, modifications and modules, growing database and server traffic, and changing trends affect the "health" of an online store.

What does PrestaShop optimization consist of?

It's a set of analytical and programming services that will improve the quality, security, capacity and speed of your online store.

Optimization influences high performance test scores and increases the SEO quality of your store.

Your experience with PrestaShop will be improved - you will be using an up-to-date version of the store that comes with a number of improvements - in a secure, fast and orderly server environment.

  • An audit indicating problems, opportunities and recommendations, along with a quote for the proposed work.
  • A 1:1 developer copy of your store, on which we will conduct the work.
  • Upgrade of PrestaShop and used modules to the latest versions.
  • Upgrading the PHP version.
  • Profiling - optimization of the database, store code, modules and template structure.
  • A new VPS or dedicated server that will maintain the traffic of 1000 users at a time.
  • Optimization of results and errors in Page Speed, Lighthouse, GTMetrix tests.
  • Optimization of Google Search Console errors and recommendations.

Dzień dobry. Proszę o informacje czy dacie radę zoptymalizować sklep robik.radom.pl Zależy mi na podniesieniu szybkości na mobile. Pozdrawiam Robert Jakubowski

Byłbym zainteresowany usługą. Jakie serwery polecacie dla Presty i optymalizacji pod Prestę?

prestashow.pl [20:06 23/09/2021]

Piotrek, trochę czasu minęło, ale... dziś polecamy serwery dedykowane OVH lub rozwiązania chmurowe w Digital Ocean. Jeśli macie budżet może to być również Google Cloud.

Wczoraj otworzyłam zgłoszenie na helpdesk w sprawie nowego serwera. Kiedy uzyskamy odpowiedź?

prestashow.pl [20:08 23/09/2021]

Patrycja mamy Twoje zgłoszenie. Na wyceny dot. optymalizacji odpowiadamy w ciągu 5 dni. Damy znać :-)

Jakie dane trzeba przygotować abyście mogli wycenić optymalizację mojego sklepu?

prestashow.pl [21:02 25/10/2021]

Bronisław, admin sklepu, FTP i baza danych. Opcjonalnie SSH root.

Przedstawię przepis na możliwie największy wynik w Google PageSpeed: - włączenie PHP 7.4 na serwerze - Prestashop - aktualizacja do najnowszej wersji - wykorzystanie technologii LiteSpeed na serwerze + wtyczki LiteSpeed w Prestashop

Usługa jest kosztowna, ale wykonanie, tempo i dialog są na najwyższym poziomie. Przymierzaliśmy się długo, ale dziś jesteśmy w galerii powyżej :-) Usługa MUST HAVE dla każdego dobrego sklepu i serwera.

Polecam tą usługę optymalizacji. Różnica w działaniu odczuwalna natychmiast po wrzuceniu na sklep produkcyjny. Poprawa wyników o +42 pkt dla desktop i +38 dla mobile. Sklep został zaktualizowany do najnowszej wersji 1.7.8.7, zmieniono nam serwer na OVH, PHP 7.3, zoptymalizowano wiele modułów i zbędnych zapytań do bazy. Prace trwały 2 tygodnie. Prestashow robi to dobrze :-)

Rewelacyjna usługa, uczciwe podejście i dobry czas realizacji. Skorzystaliśmy z audyty, aktualizacji i podniesienia PHP do 7.1 (PS 1.6). Kolejnym krokiem będzie optymalizacja pod wyniki testów szybkości. Panowie z PRESTASHOW znają się na rzeczy, są w stanie wyjaśnić każdy błąd znaleziony w sklepie czy bazie danych. Warto!
