Website loading Speed at OpenCart is an important criterion of a website’s success. First and foremost the acceleration of a site automatically increases its conversion.
And it directly helps improve the main business objective of a website which is to generate more leads and more sales.
Studies show that when a site is accelerated by only 100 milliseconds, the conversion gets increased by 5%. By 2.4% on desktop devices and by 7.1% on mobile devices.
Acceleration by 1 second increases the conversion rate by 20%.
Acceleration by 2 seconds increases conversion by 30%.
Moreover, there is an additional advantage. Speed of OpenCart is directly related to behavioral factors that adversely affect the ranking of a website in search results.
If you increase the download speed of OpenCart, this will reduce the probability of failure, visitors will perceive the site more positively, they will spend more time on your website. All of this will be highly estimated by search engines in their score results.
By optimizing the images it is possible to significantly reduce the total amount of data (in bytes) that is loaded on the page. For example, total page size is reduced to 2 MB from 20 MB. Page capacity of 2 MB will load much faster than the previous version of the page with a volume of 20 MB. This is exactly how OpenCart download is accelerated.

Page speed is a crucial factor that affects the user experience and search engine ranking of an OpenCart website. Slow-loading pages can drive visitors away and can result in higher bounce rates. In addition, search engines like Google consider page speed as one of the important ranking signals.
Images play a significant role in enhancing the visual appeal of an ecommerce store. However, large image files can significantly slow down page load times. To optimize images, you should compress them without compromising their quality. Several image compression tools or extensions are available that can help you reduce the size of the images without affecting their visual appearance.
Caching is a technique that stores a copy of the webpage on the user's device after the first visit. This enables subsequent visits to load faster by loading the cached version instead of generating the page from scratch. OpenCart comes with built-in caching mechanisms that you can enable in the admin panel. By enabling caching, you can significantly reduce the server load and improve page load speed.
Minifying CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript files involves removing unnecessary characters such as whitespace, comments, and line breaks. This can help reduce the file size and improve page load speed. There are various online tools and extensions available that can automatically minify these files for you. It's important to note that you should always keep a backup before making any changes to these files.
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of servers distributed across different geographic locations. By hosting static resources like CSS, JavaScript, and images on a CDN, you can deliver them to users from the server closest to their location. This can drastically reduce the latency and improve page load times. OpenCart offers various integration options for popular CDNs such as Cloudflare, which can be easily set up through the admin panel.
OpenCart allows the installation of numerous extensions and modules to enhance the functionality of your online store. However, having too many unnecessary or poorly-coded extensions can slow down your website. Regularly review and uninstall any extensions that are not actively used or are known to cause performance issues. Keeping your extensions and modules to a minimum will ensure faster page load times.
A poorly optimized database can significantly impact page load speed in OpenCart. Regularly clean up and optimize your database by removing unnecessary data, optimizing tables, and repairing any errors. You can use built-in tools like phpMyAdmin or third-party extensions to manage and optimize your database efficiently.
Improving page speed in OpenCart is crucial for providing a better user experience and boosting search engine rankings. By optimizing images, enabling caching, minifying CSS and JavaScript files, utilizing CDNs, removing unnecessary extensions, and optimizing database performance, you can significantly enhance the page load times of your OpenCart website.
