Hi there,
It sounds like you’re using attributes to store a large list of numbers, which you choose from to assign to each variable.
Is my understanding correct? If you can explain in a bit more detail how many there are, how they are stored (are they global attributes?), and what they’re used for (just extra static info, or can customers select them, are they used once or many times), then perhaps we can provide further suggestions.
Meanwhile, as a general guide for slow sites, refer to these docs below for tips and tricks for how to speed them up:
Hi,
thanks for the guide, we tested the caching plugin, increased the memory limit (we already did that) and optimized all images but there is no difference.
Yes, we are using the global attributes to store a large list of numbers. We need those numbers to connect the products with ebay. Every product in our store is unique. We have 17.000 products and a lot of them have their unique number. In total there are 13012 different numbers.
Those numbers are the manufacture numbers of the products, they are displayed on the product page for visitors. The numbers are mostly used one time, up to 4 times.
From a technical standpoint the problem is, that if you type a number in the attibute field (on the product page), the system loads all numbers in the background and because there are so many, it takes a long time. Is there another way to add an attribute to a product?
I hope I explain you the problem.
