X-Cart forums

Shareen, this is one of the most powerful carts out there, but it takes a little work to get it to function the way you want. The images on the category page do not have pop-ups because they are meant as previews of the product only, the product detail page has all of the info. If a user wants to see more info, they simply click on the image. The beauty of this cart is it is fully customizable to how you want it to function. If it doesn't work the way you want, you change it.

The cart is offered as a free demo first so that you can determine if it does what you want before you buy it. There are plenty of other carts out there, if you are not happy with this one, use the 30 day money back guarantee and move on.

Thank you for your reply. I may have to check out another cart because this cart is to slow processing orders. It is taking me 17 to 18 seconds to add an item to the cart. Why is this and is there anyghing I can do to speed it up. I turn off the stats like I read in the forum, I only have 10 products at the moment so it cannot be the database.

That probably isn't the cart, but the server. Are you on shared hosting by chance? The 4.1.6 release is actually pretty fast, but if you are on shared hosting it can really drag.

[sparker2]

yes it is shared

[sparker2]

so it will not work on shared hosting. Wow, what do i do now?

[balinor]

It will work on properly configured shared hosts like the ones from the link I posted. Contact Emerson at ewdhosting.com, he'll even move your site for you

[sparker2]

o ok will do. I hope this is my problem. I will change to new host tomorrow. Thanks again

Image files that aren't properly optimized could be another culprit causing slow speeds. Because your site isn't live, I couldn't check that.
