slow loading pages

[squeezywheezy]

Hi there

I have just installed datafeedr and just finding my way around. so far liking it a lot except for the slow page loads. Eric i looked up the forums and activiated the set up button on the directories tab within wordpress>tools>datafeedr> but it hasnt seemed to work

Just wondering if you can give me any more help?

many thanks

Hi

I guess you are trying to store the images locally. I've covered this in one of the new 55 video tutorials:

Are we not to be storing images locally?

This is personal preference.

Seems it would aid in site speed and SEO.

Just from your comment, seemed like it was not what you wanted.

Thanks for the clarification.

My personal preference is to store images locally. Some users don't like their hard drive space being filled up with thousands of images. My stores are very small so it's fine if I store my images locally. It takes up very little room and I am in control of how fast the images load on my sites.

Do the stored images get purged when products drop from the store? Or when merchants change it? Should we periodically <every few months> 'reset' the images and redownload from the factory?

So any ideas on the site speed issue?

One of the reasons I looked into cloudflare <debacle>...

Hi

No, the images don't get purged but you can periodically delete them and then new ones will be added.

The next release of the Datafeedr plugin is focused solely on speed/optimization.

I would check out caching plugins such as W3 Total Cache.

Hi Eric,
is there a way to auto delete the stored files in a special period?
100.000 Pictures and also 100.000 Thumbnails.... are a lot of files.
Thank you Toni

Hi

No, this is not possible. Please open new threads for new questions as per the forum posting rules.

This thread is now closed.
