I have a site with only 48 stock items presented quite simply as a list, there are 5 specifications and a photograph. I have cached everything but the initial load time is still very slow. I think the problem is in my getResources call but I'm not sure.

Here it is, am I doing this correctly? If you need more information please let me know. I'm not an expert and I wonder how sites with 1000's of products handle this....

<h2>[[!getTag]]</h2>
<div class='trsummary clearfix'>
  <div class='thsummary1'>STOCK NO</div>
  <div class='thsummary1'>MAKE</div>
  <div class='thsummary2'>MODEL</div>
  <div class='thsummary3'>YEAR</div>
  <div class='thsummary2'>PRICE</div>
  <div class='thsummary4'>PHOTO</div>
</div>
[[!getResourcesTag? 
&elementClass=`modSnippet`
  &element=`getResources`
  &tpl=`stocklist`
  &parents=`4`
  &limit=`100`
  &includeContent=`1`
  &includeTVs=`1`
  &tvFilters=`Make!=''`
  &showHidden=`0`
  &hideContainers=`0`
  &cache=`1`
  &tagKey=`vtype`
]]

Kind regards

Phil

Oh, one more question, I've built the site as html5, is that a good idea?

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>[[++site_name]] - [[*pagetitle]]</title>
<base href="[[++site_url]]" />
etc..

HTML 5 is just fine.

Thankyou Susan, I thought so. I couldn't see how that would affect the processing or speed, just thought I'd ask. Kind regards.

You might try caching your getResourcesTag snippet.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, you mean cache the snippet itself? How would I do that? Thanks for the help. edit: I've found a property called dbCacheFlag which I can set to 1 on getResources, I've done that, to see if that helps...

I'm curious if you have an SSL certificate (since you mentioned stock items). The RevoSSL plugin is a site killer when it comes to initial performance. If you have that installed, try disabling it.

getResources has always been fairly fast for me, but make sure you are calling [[getResources]] and not [[!getResources]]. I think you should look elsewhere to see what might be slowing the page down.

adding &depth=`1` makes a big difference
