Tools to help optimise Magento

Magento is famously resource-hungry. A shared server is not going to cut it. There are some simple things you can do to speed up your Magento install, but first we need to quanitify the speed and work out what we are testing.

Firebug

This for me is the easiest way to see how your site is loading - the various parts, the speed they are loading, and any bottlenecks. This is a plugin for Firefox, which you can get here, or in the Firefox (Tools > Add-ons) section. Once installed, and turned on, open the 'Net' panel and refresh your page. Firebug magento.png
