I wanted to take the time to thank you again for the wonderful website. My previous set-up was very basic and sales were slow. My sales have gone from a few thousand dollars to about 25K net in the first year. My product line grew from 1 to over 300 due to the fact that the cart system you use is so simple and efficient. There's no way I could have accomplished this growth without your help.

I fell instantly in love with my home page. This is even tons better than what I had in mind. I couldn't believe this was my web site. It looked so professional. This is really super. The rounded edges, the blurred background, the basket and the sandals sticking out, it creates an exciting mood. I thought you were a web programmer, didn't know you were an artist too.

Joomla Performance Tweaks

Disable statistics reports
Disabling the Joomla statistics function can improve the performance ( page load time ) of your CMS. If this is enabled

every time some visits your site data is written to the MYSQL database. To disable this option select site / global configuration and statistics. Remember most hosting packages now offer static software via the control panel so you can still analyse / monitor your traffic / visitors.

Cache
By default the cache option for Joomla is not enabled but by enabling this option for you site and modules you may see a performance increase. This option is useful if your content is changing all the time for example RSS feeds or chat module. To enable the cache select site and global configuration. For the modules select the modules and the module you wish to enable the cache for.

GZIP Page Compression
Again this is another way to speed up your Joomla site. If your server supports GZIP Page Compression then from the administrator area select "Global Configuration" then choose the "Server" tab. Select "Yes" next to "GZIP Page Compression" then choose "Save"

Modules
I know when you first start using Joomla you have lots of cool modules to choose from which can be displayed on the front page of your site. Don’t fall into the trap of plastering modules all over your front page. This will only slow your CMS down if you plan to use modules then assign them to specific pages.

Error reporting
I would recommend you switch off error reporting for Joomla which again can speed up your site. To switch off error reporting select Global Configuration / Server Tab / Set the error reporting to None.

Mambots
Have a look at the mambots you have enabled and disable the bots your no longer require.
