Audit of speed and performance CS-Cart
We audit key pages, server, PHP, MySQL, caching, logs, slow SQL, add-ons, and bot load. You receive a report with evidence, priorities, and an optimization plan.
When to get help
When a slow CS-Cart store affects sales
The catalog loads slowly
Categories, filters, and search respond slowly, especially with large catalogs or complex attributes.
Cart and checkout lag
Customers are ready to buy, but wait at the most important step.
Performance worsened after add-ons
New add-ons, themes, or customizations added unnecessary queries, scripts, or conflicts.
Hosting reports excessive load
The server is overloaded without traffic growth; the issue may be inside the store, not just the hosting plan.
Slow TTFB and server response
Pages respond late, categories are slower than the homepage or product pages, and the server spends time on repeated queries.
A campaign or sale is approaching
Find weak points before load grows instead of fixing them during a sale.
What we check
We review the store layer by layer
We look beyond PageSpeed: server response, database queries, add-on behavior, theme code, logs, and where CS-Cart spends time.
Logs and unnecessary load
We check whether bots, crawlers, or dynamic handlers create most of the PHP-FPM and database load.
SQL and database
We review slow logs, expensive queries, call frequency, indexes, MyISAM/InnoDB tables, and problematic reads.
Categories and filters
We examine catalog pages, attributes, filters, variants, SEO blocks, and theme components.
PHP-FPM and server
We check worker limits, memory, PHP version, extensions, queues, slow logs, and capacity.
Caching and Redis
We review sessions, locks, and cache storage to see whether load can safely move away from MySQL.
Images and static assets
We check image-library size, WebP/AVIF, Imagick/GD, CDN, TTL, and static delivery.
Service boundaries
The audit does not include implementing fixes
For $117, you receive diagnostics and a report covering findings, impact, evidence, and next steps. Site work starts only after separate agreement on scope, risks, and cost.
Separately priced work
- Implementing recommendations and code optimization.
- Upgrading CS-Cart, PHP, add-ons, or the theme.
- Migrating to another server or changing infrastructure.
- Configuring CDN, Redis, PHP-FPM, MySQL, and access permissions.
- Fixing third-party add-ons and working on staging.
What you get
An actionable report
The report connects each issue to its impact, evidence, and recommended fix, making priorities and separately priced work clear.
- Checked areas: CS-Cart version, PHP, server, nginx/PHP-FPM/MySQL stack, disks, and memory.
- Priority checklist: critical, high, medium, and low issues.
- Evidence for each finding: logs, measurements, settings, SQL, or server parameters.
- Speed measurements: TTFB, total time, and HTML size on key routes.
- Expected outcomes for load, SQL, cache, PHP-FPM, database, images, and CDN.
- Optimization plan: what to tackle first, what needs staging, and what is separately priced.
Frequently asked questions
Key details at a glance
What does the $117 audit include?
It includes one store and a report on checks, findings, evidence, priorities, and next steps. Implementing fixes is separate.
What does the final report look like?
It contains checked project parameters, a prioritized checklist, evidence, speed measurements, expected outcomes, and a next-stage estimate.
Why has CS-Cart become slow?
Often several issues contribute: heavy filters, third-party add-ons, inefficient SQL, server load, theme code, images, cache, or background syncs.
Can you also fix the issue?
Yes. The audit is the first stage. Implementation of server tuning, add-on fixes, SQL optimization, theme, caching, or database work can be estimated separately.
Is the audit suitable for Multi-Vendor?
Yes. Multi-Vendor can have more load from sellers, storefronts, filters, catalogs, syncs, and third-party add-ons, making diagnosis especially valuable.
Can CS-Cart be faster without changing hosting?
Sometimes. If the cause is add-ons, theme code, database, cache, or heavy pages, new hosting will not fully solve it. The audit clarifies whether to migrate or fix the store first.
