Ticket #2683 - Optimizing web with Alysum 2.8 (loading time)

Hi,
I’m trying to optimize the loading time of my shop, when I use my Alysum theme loading time increase (about 5 seconds). I attached screenshots of speed tests done with GTMetrix. There is detailed javascript causing delay
Is there any way you can help?

Thanks!

Henry

Hello Henry.
Alysum comes with a lot of additional modules.
If you don’t use all of them try to uninstall. It should decrease loading speed
Those files are united js and css from whole your prestashop.

Ok I will try, any other advice?

The problem is too many JS calls that are not needed in header and other pages. 90% of these are not needed in the main page. the developer does not respond on this and just tells us to cache the files.. that is the easy way out and not the solution for slow theme speed.

see this link, i am sure the developer will provide solution soon.

what does this mean: ” Those files are united js and css from whole your prestashop.”??? – can’t understand..

Also, above you say to uninstall the modules which are not needed, do you mean to disbale them or uninstall them? Even if we disable them, the JS script call iis still loaded in the page, you can see from my other post …

You are right Ricky, the theme is really great! but the optimization is really poor too! There are a lot of things to do to improve loading times.

Hello guys.
At the moment we are working on update Alysum to prestashop 1.6 and a we will make our best to optimize the theme.
If you have any examples of unnecessary code, please write it here.

As i mentioned in my previous post, you can see the load times using chrome developer tools, they are over 10 js library’s in use and 10 css files in use on when laoding the main page.

You can solve this as i said by using some if/then/else statement example

IF MODULE OR HOOK NOT INSTALLED OR DISABLED then
{do not load js library}
else
{load library}

ofcourse we can compress everything but its not so efficient if we are not using 60% of the modules in your theme.. because your theme have so many modules from so many developers, the JS library are so many to count! and the laod time is quite slow.. It should be under 2seconds, your laod time is 7 seconds according to google. and if you work what i said above it will improve. please help us and guide us how we can do this, as i am not a programmer.
