And why do you have such amount of categories? It could be painfully to navigate through them for your customers. Are you sure that you didn't put manufacturers or custom fields structures in category structure?

Keep VM up to date (2.0.22e).

Get rid of 2nd jquery (from template).

For example you use non standard VM menu.

Also in your case you need to optimize everything that you could. There are a lot of tricks. Be creative.

Ok thanks.

"But Get rid of 2nd jquery (from template)."

Sorry for my english but I don't understand how can I do that ?What I have to do with my template ?

And if I realy understand I need to change the hosting company probably...? How can I know the capacity that I need for the website ?

1. Template options, structure of template index.php or other file. You could make a text search in your template files. Ask template prodiver.
2. I don't understand you clearly. Could you elaborate more?

1. ok thanks I use Artiseer template
2. What I have understood it's that I have to change probably the provider hosting. So I ask to my provider and I'm on shared hosting and I can't change to dedicated server now because Its too expensive by month. So I try to find another solution : I have unabled my extension from menu "CKmenu", and Vm go faster, I have unfortunatly delete lots of category and use some custom field with extension custom filter. I will add the last category and let you know if it will go better.
