One of the biggest complaints I get on LiteCommerce is the slow processing during checkout etc - I would not want to put my clients in another "slow" site. Looking forward to seeing this project advance.

Thank you for your feedback. Low response time is of very high priority for us. Ecwid is designed to be fast, and we want to keep it this way.
I am trying to reproduce the problem you mentioned, but with no luck. Can you please provide more details: on what pages did you experience delays ? Please provide us with the page URL. Is it still slow for you now or were the delays momentary ? If it's working fast now, the date and time of that moment when you experienced delays would also be very helpful. Please send it to me by private message along with your time zone. Include name and version of the browser you use.
Ecwid web site consists of many third party web applications like the CMS, forum software, bugtracker software and ideas tracker. Though they all worked fast enough according to our experience, any of them migh have affected the speed. In order to experience pure Ecwid speed, you can just add Ecwid to your site and see for yourself.
Alternatively, you can create a file named demo.html on your local PC and populate it with this code:
Code:
<html><body>
<div>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://app.ecwid.com/script.js?1003'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'> xCategories("style="); </script>
</div>
<div>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://app.ecwid.com/script.js?1003'></script>
<!-- remove layout parameter if you want to position minicart yourself -->
<script type='text/javascript'> xMinicart("style=","layout=attachToCategories"); </script>
</div>
<div>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://app.ecwid.com/script.js?1003'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'> xProductBrowser("itemsPerRow=3","itemsPerPage=6","searchResultsItemsPerPage=10","style="); </script>
<noscript>Your browser does not support JavaScript. Please proceed to <a href="http://mdemo.ecwid.com">HTML version of Demo store</a></noscript>
</div>
</body></html>
... then open this file in your browser. The file has Ecwid widget code in it and you'll be able to experience Ecwid performance unobstructed by other web applications. Don't be confused by the fact that the file is on your local hard drive: this is what makes Ecwid fast. All User Interface is at client-side in Ecwid, it's running at the client PC and only makes server connections to fetch product data.
