    Im currently running magento on a shared hostgator server. I currently have 2000 items in the store but I am considering adding well 12000 more. The speed right now is good. Will this have a big effect speed?

    Most likely yes. That is largely a mysql consideration less # of products on a page etc. I had to basically rent a ripping fast vps and tune it to run larger magento stores but most of the speed gains were made properly coding front end stuff after some memory tweaks.

    hope that helps,

    No I do not have that running. That site in my link isn't running magento. I'll post a link to the magento site tomorrow.

    But thanks, I will try that on the magento.

    Alright I have it linked in my signature. It's handling it better than I expected given the reviews. I tried installing the foomanspeed but it overrides the template and I dont feel like dealing at the moment so it is NOT installed. Please view the site and give me some feedback with regards to speed.

    You have to install fooman via magento connect.... easy enough.... but you also have to add something to htacess and check the perms on a file or two. Its a 5 minute procedure in total. That is however why your template gets jacked up. Easy fix though.

    That said, your template doesn't appear to be calling a bunch of js that is not required and on my end its actually pretty fast so no worries there. Nicely done.

    Glad everything went well for you.

    Do you feel the speed is good enough on the magento to replace the site on the root and handle traffic? 100-200 unques/day.

    I would think so yes. That is actually a good bit faster than most magento sites floating around. I can also send the few steps you may have missed sorting out fooman speedster if you want. That really is pretty easy, just a few things to watch out for.

    I don't think it will matter on speed because it does not matter on how big your database is. Speed is just due to the script.

    If you will distribute only a few items to show on a single page, speed will be same as its on a site with less items in its database.
