The site works slowly under peak loads, especially on mobile devices. It is necessary to optimize speed and update the design. First of all, we need to find the cause and eliminate it.
I am looking for an OpenCart specialist with the possibility of future collaboration if needed.
Tasks
A. Diagnostics and Optimization
* Check the site speed, server load, database, logs. - it is important now that we are in the low season, so there are practically no visitors to the site - the problem occurred when there were more than 500 requests
* Determine the cause of the slow operation (server / modules / SQL / cache / template).
* Provide a brief report and suggest solutions
* If necessary, transfer the plan to another/more powerful Hostinger server and configure the server
B. OpenCart Optimization
Check all modules, remove/replace “heavy ones - agree with me before removal
Optimize caching, SQL queries, JS/CSS, images.
After the problem with the slow loading of the site is identified and resolved, there are additional tasks:
. Design / Template
Main requirements for the new template:
1. Mobile version — the main priority.
The choice of template should be based primarily on the quality of mobile adaptation and speed.
2. Clear category hierarchy.
The template should allow:
* convenient configuration of the category tree;
* display many categories without overload;
* have a clear mobile menu with nested items.
3. Banners.
Improve work with banners:
* the ability to add both ready-made banners and create new ones through the admin panel (multiple banner blocks/sliders).
4. Information strip (infostripe).
* refine the module (design, adaptability, functions);
* the ability to easily change text and add several messages or images
* There is an example on another OpenCart site — I will show in correspondence.
* Suggest 2–3 optimal templates that meet our requirements.
* Agree on an option.
* Install and configure the chosen template.
4. Work Result
* Report on the problem and what has been fixed.
* Optimized site (PageSpeed/GTmetrix improved).
* A new, modern, and functional template with the correct category hierarchy.
* Convenient mobile version.
* Updated banner and infostripe module.
* Instructions for changing banners/texts.
