Hi again,
Have found some forum posts on CS Cart web site so just going to past them here:-
1) On the server itself, I set the php.ini to 256mb, and matched it in the config file of cs-cart
2) On the server, I had a dedicated server guru look at the DNS resolver. (/etc/resolv.conf) and set a higher priority. This alone eliminated 7 seconds off the load time, and the site went from 10-13+ seconds of "First Page" load, to just over 4 seconds.
3) Used the Minify, gZip and compression functions of the SmartOptimizer utility from this post in the forum. (Second post by babalucci) This had the second largest impact on performance, reducing another 2+ seconds from load time.
4) Server side tweaking and apache/cache optimization
I have implimented options 1 and 3 put please let me know if you think these could lead to any problems on my L-VPS-1 package.
Thanks again.
John
