      <title>Product pages with many attributes taking ages to load</title>
      <link>http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/9480/</link>
      <guid>http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/9480/#When:02:51:02Z</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>OK - here&#8217;s another problem. Products with many attributes (more than say 15) are taking a massive amount of time to load. Now this is on our development server (which is local only - ubuntu 7.10) with a dual core cpu and 4 gig of ram (with all the magento optimisations enabled). Everything else seems fine, products with only a few attributes load in less than a second (or two at most). 
</p>
<p>
Some products, never load at all - doing a &#8216;top&#8217; shows apache2 chugging away at 50% cpu usage. I&#8217;ve copied a profiler output of one of our product pages that has about 15 attributes. Any more than this and the page doesn&#8217;t load. . .
</p>
<p>
Any ideas?

      <title>Reason for slow initial page load times&#63;</title>
      <link>http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/8020/</link>
      <guid>http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/8020/#When:08:09:45Z</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>As many others I am a bit concerned about the performance of Magento.
</p>
<p>
I have noticed that when it is a while since I have visited my Magento store, it takes an awful long time to load the front page (12-15 seconds). However, on subsequent accesses it loads much faster (2-3 seconds). I first thought it had to do with the built-in caching feature, but after disabling all caching in the admin, it doesn&#8217;t seem to change much. Also the /var/cache/ directory is still populated with data.
</p>
<p>
It is not caused by local caching by the browser either, as I have tried using various &#8220;website speed test&#8221; sites and if I first access the site using one of these tools, it still loads much quicker on the second access from my own computer.
</p>
<p>
Does anyone know exactly what is causing this? And why it only happens on the initial page load? Also, it does not seem to matter if I access the front page or a subpage (such as /customer-service/) on the first access. It takes way too long to load the page in either way.
</p>
<p>
The overall performance is acceptable except for the initial page load, which of course also is the most important. A customer simply won&#8217;t wait for &gt;10 seconds for the page to load the first time. I don&#8217;t see why hardware should be an issue here either, as it performs quite well after the initial load. It just seems like it is &#8220;halting&#8221; for about 10 seconds without doing nothing, then suddenly the page loads.
</p>
<p>
Is it the intricate templating system that is causing additional processing, database queries, or what? Other, similarly advanced and large PHP/MySQL-based applications runs much, much better than Magento on the same hardware.
</p>
<p>
I really hope someone from the community (or preferably the Magento team) can comment on this. I doubt I am the only one wondering about this?!
</p>
<p>
I think Magento is great and has the potential to become a market leader in its segment, I just hope the performance issue will get enough attention.
</p>
<p>
Thanks,
<br />
Sindre

I&#8217;ve been trying to change page titles through main.xml (frontend/default/default/layout/ folder) by using action with method="setHeaderTitle" but nothing seems to change on the target page.

I&#8217;m not exactly sure whether using the setHeaderTitle method is the way to actually do this or not (when I navigate to the login screen, the page title defaults to the site&#8217;s title and not to &#8220;LOGIN PAGE&#8221; like the setting above). 
</p>
<p>
I&#8217;m using Magento 0.6.13160
</p>
<p>
Thanx for any advice/help!

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Can we get some further explanation or documentation how the sales modules work.
</p>
<p>
More specifically the credit memo&#8217;s and how they work with payment modules like Authorize.net.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
I assume when a credit memo is created it connects with authorize.net to issue a refund?&nbsp; Is this done just by the transaction id information or is the credit card info stored in the DB?
</p>
<p>
And to follow that thought if an order is &#8220;edited&#8221; in the admin and something is added or removed from the order that changes the order total will this adjustment automatically be handled in authorize.net so the customer is charged for the correct amount?
</p>
<p>
These question are posed specifically for authorize.net using &#8220;Authorize Only&#8221; instead of &#8220;capture&#8221;.
</p>
<p>
thanks

      <title>Configuration Wizard</title>
      <link>http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/13029/</link>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, I&#8217;m new to the forums, and to Magento as a whole, so I apologize if this question has been asked before. I didn&#8217;t see anything quite like it via search.
</p>
<p>
I have a store that I&#8217;m building that needs some configurable products. However, not configurable in a simpler sense as addressed by the Configurable screencast and support topics. In this case, it&#8217;s more of (what the client calls) a configuration wizard, where the customer completes 5 steps to configure their item:
<br />
1. chooses container type
<br />
2. chooses material to fill the container
<br />
3. wrapping for the container
<br />
4. envelope for the gift
<br />
5. text that will be delivered with the order - custom, user-inputted text, or chosen forma  pre-selected batch.
</p>
<p>
Just wondering if anyone has done anything like this using Magento, or if there was possibly a feature or add-on module that I may have missed. 
<br />
Thanks!

      <title>What version is the demo running&#63;</title>
      <link>http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/12848/</link>
      <guid>http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/12848/#When:13:31:04Z</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What version of Magento is the demo running?&nbsp; (http://demo.magentocommerce.com)
</p>
<p>
I ask because we have the latest 1.1 from svn running and see some differences in the Configurable product page that I need to track down.
</p>
<p>
In the demo on the Clogs, for example ( http://demo.magentocommerce.com/apparel/shoes/mens-s-shoes/cn-clogs-beach-garden-clog.html ) the options for Gender and Shoe Size are up near the product name &amp; review links.&nbsp; If I make a configurable product in my version of 1.1, no matter which theme i use (default/default, default/modern) the options for Gender and Shoe Size show up under the image &amp; details, down by the long description.
</p>
<p>
Any ideas whats going on with the demo?&nbsp; 
<br />
Is it not using the default/default or default/modern theme?
<br />
Is it using an older version of those themes, that has since been changed?
</p>
<p>
Just wondering before I go making unnecessary changes in our themes ..
