Optimize Opencart website speed

This article will guide you on methods to optimize #OpenCart #Website to boost  and improve speed and pages load time.

OpenCart is one of the most recommended e-commerce platforms used by online merchants to set up their digital store. This PHP based platform provides users with an open source solution, allowing users to download and integrate any additional features to optimize one's e-commerce store.

To increase your Website page #speed:

1. Enable compression.

2. Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML.

3. Reduce redirects.

4. Remove render-blocking JavaScript.

5. Leverage browser caching.

6. Improve server response time.

7. Use a content distribution network.

Azure Cache for Redis client-side issues

This article will guide you on troubleshoot Azure #Cache for Redis client for issues and fix common Redis #error.

Azure Cache for Redis gives you the ability to use a secure open source Redis cache. It is a dedicated offering managed by Microsoft, to build highly scalable and responsive applications by providing you super-fast access to your data.

All #Redis #data resides in the server's main memory, in contrast to databases such as PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MongoDB and others that store most data on disk or on SSDs.

The way to test for this in Redis is to simply query the key. If the key is empty, populate it. If it is a string use get (or exists).

To configure a storage account for your cache metrics:

1. In the Azure Cache for Redis page, under the Monitoring heading, select Diagnostics.

2. Select + Add diagnostic setting.

3. Name the settings.

4. Check Archive to a storage account.

5. Select Configure to choose the storage account in which to store the cache metrics.
