A slow PrestaShop store means lost customers, poorer SEO performance and more difficult order processing. PrestaShop optimization helps improve loading speed, server stability, database performance, code quality, module performance, and results in PageSpeed, Lighthouse, GTmetrix and Google Search Console.
PrestaShop optimization - speed up your store, server and admin panel.
At PrestaShow, we start with an audit of the store, modules and server. Then we prepare a work plan, developer copy and implement fixes without risky experimentation on the running store. The result? A faster, more stable and better-prepared to sell PrestaShop store.
Why does a PrestaShop store run slow?
PrestaShop can slow down for many reasons: outdated PHP version, overloaded database, poorly written modules, heavy template, lack of cache, too large images, weak server, JavaScript errors, overrides or outdated version of the store.
Therefore, effective optimization is not about clicking one option in the panel, but about analyzing the entire store environment.
Optimization influences high scores in performance tests and increases the SEO quality of the store.
Your experience with PrestaShop will improve - you will be using an up-to-date version of the store, which is equipped with a number of improvements - in a secure, fast and orderly server environment.
What does PrestaShop optimization include?
- 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.

How much does PrestaShop optimization cost?
We do not give one price for each store, because two PrestaShop stores may look similar to the customer, but have a completely different technical situation.
That's why we start optimization with an audit. After it, you know which works are necessary, which are optional, how much they will cost and what their priority is.
The following information is not an offer, because the final price of optimizing the store is affected by many variables such as:
- Current PHP version and PrestaShop version.
- Quality and speed of code, modifications and overrides
- The number of modules used
- Errors, warnings and slowdowns of the store and database
- Configuration and capabilities of the server and database
- Performance and load test results
PrestaShop optimization starts with an audit
Not every optimization requires the same work. One store has a problem with the server, another with the database, a third with modules, and a fourth with a heavy template or checkout errors.
That's why we perform a PrestaShop Audit before implementing changes, which shows what's really slowing down the store and which fixes make the most business sense.
The audit is a road-map for the work on your store.
You'll receive a PDF of the state of your store and server. In the audit, we list problems, opportunities and recommendations, along with a quote for each item.

Safe optimization without working on production
We do not test changes directly on a running store.
We do the work on a 1:1 developer copy so your store can continue to sell and we can safely analyze, tweak and test implementations.
Only after the changes are approved do we port the optimized version of the store.

New high-performance server for PrestaShop
Achieving high results on FTP servers can be limited. To achieve the highest results you need a powerful VPS or dedicated server with full root access.
