Thanks guys, I truly appreciate all of your responsive replies. That's so great, I will give it a try
Over the past 2 years or so, I have been running my store on OSCommerce. And finally decided to at least give X-Cart a try and see if my store would benefit from the conversion. $189 is certainly worth the effort.
One thing I notice off the back between the test store running X-cart (
http://www.litewarehouse.com/cart ) versus my production store running OSCommerce (
http://www.litewarehouse.com/catalog ) is that the my X-Cart sample store is significantly slower. All the pages just aren't as responsive as my OSCommerce pages. And this is even before I import all my products into X-Cart database.
Both of my X-Cart & OSCommerce stores are running on the same exact dedicated server, P-2.4GHz with 1GB of memory, and it has Zend Optimizer v2.5.7 installed. Please take a look at the two store links above and you will see what I am referring to. On the X-Cart store, it seems like when you click on an item and/or page, it sits and wait for a couple seconds then BOOM, all the items get displayed. Where as on my OSCommerce store, when you click on an item/page, it will get displayed almost instantly.
While a couple seconds might not seem much right now, but I think the issue will become much worse when several hundred more products are added with more traffic and inquiries made to the database. Is there anything I can do on the X-Cart side to speed thing up.
Any help/ideas you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Once again, thank yo so much for all of your help on this. I hope to have all of these issues taken care of soon so I can start to plan my OSCom to X-cart conversion.
Thank you
