Title: Speed up category pages?
Post by: EvanGR on October 04, 2019, 10:33:20 AM
VM 3.6.2/ 40k products with multiple custom fields used.

Category pages are slower than we'd like (6+ seconds), and we are trying to optimize them.
Perhaps we can do without the custom fields for category product results.
Is there a way to remove custom field SQL queries for category results? If so, which are the query files we can experiment with?

Thanks

Have you checked the config? You have an option to not render customfields in category view

Thanks. I cannot seem to find that option... Where do I need to look?

Thanks, does this also remove the processing (db queries) for the custom fields for the category pages?

YES, the checkbox just makes them "available" , in other words the queries.
