How to improve PrestaShop store speed without fake scores

· 1 min read · Published by Rafa

A slow PrestaShop store loses sales and crawl budget. Measure the templates that sell, cut module and image weight, configure cache, and check checkout on a real phone.

PrestaShop speed work starts on the templates that take money: home, category, product, checkout. A lab score on an empty demo is not a diagnosis. I do not publish invented 96/100 badges.

A practical order

  1. Measure field or lab CWV on mobile for those templates.
  2. Find heavy modules, uncompressed images and blocking third-party scripts.
  3. Enable a cache that survives your checkout and cart, not a cache that breaks cookies.
  4. Retest the same URLs on a phone. If checkout got slower, the cache is wrong.

Server PHP workers and MySQL matter on large catalogues. A new slider does not.
