Do not, for a second, think you will get quality support from this company. This is just my personal experience. I paid extra for "premium support." Apparently that means getting a response to my detailed inquiry 1 day later with short responses that don't do much to help solve the problem. I've received 7 emails in 4 days. I'm very disappointed that Pagelines would associate themselves with a company that, in my case, provided abysmal support, even after I paid them.

lakersalex we are not affiliated with Jigoshop in any way. We simply added styling to the plugin after requests from our users.

After jerking their chains on facebook and twitter, they are now much more responsive. But the site will not work on my host. The host is blaming Jigoshop, Jigoshop can't find a problem on their end and even installed my site on a test server and it works. It would have been great to arrive at this point a few days ago, but at least I now have a plan of action.

Update!

Sure enough the best way to change one's fortunes is to rant on a website forum and sure enough, chances are you'll be eating your words.

Why the process was rocky and quite stressful, eventually Jigoshop solved my problems and the site is now working.

I have to say they gave me the support needed to make this happen, and for that I am grateful. But I now have other issues which I'll post seperately.

Specifically, the site is running slowly and I was informed there are a few Pagelines specific issues that are to blame.

1. pagelines compiled css optimization (1.6 seconds)

2. black-linen.png optimization (1.5seconds)

Why is the Pagelines specific CSS loading so slowly. Can I optimized it? Can I remove it entirely and place all that css into Jigoshops frontend.css file?

How can I remove the black-linen.png file. I'm not even using it!

It's a Jigoshop webstore.

2. black-linen.png optimization (1.5seconds)

What's up with the black-linen.png file. I'm not even using this file! Why is it being loaded?

Thanks for all the outstanding support that Pagelines provides.

So I see the features section is using the black line as a background. I replaced that file with a 1x1 image which helps. I also see the image is called out in a css file called

pagelines-compiled-css-1_1349469232

Can I edit this or is it dynamically generated?

The two 'optimized' files should not be slowing your site down. Ask your host how much they've allocated to PHP processes. If it's 32Mb, but less than 128Mb, have your host increase the PHP memory resources to at least 128Mb, and preferably 256Mb (which is usually the max).

When a site has insufficient memory resources on the server, anything will slow it down. The only solutions are raising the amount of memory or changing hosting plans to provide more memory resources.

I moved from a VPS shared plan to a dedicated server and have had no errors since. Before, on VPS, I had tons of them. I can honestly say they were not caused by PageLines.

Hi Rob, I moved this over to a topic in Support:

http://www.pagelines.com/forum/topic/22433-website-running-slow-problems-identified-need-solutions/

Your point is well taken, however, there is clearly room for improvement. This extra CSS file that pagelines jigoshop plugin creates, can I incorporate that code into Jigoshop's frontend CSS file?

Wouldn't that speed things up?

For moderation purposes, I merged the two topics into one.

Jigoshop operates as a totally independent product. It's operating as a plugin within WordPress. PageLines provides an integration for that plugin, which merely wraps the JigoShop into our framework. We do not add new CSS to JigoShop. We don't even support JigoShop; only our integration.

There's tons of info about Jigo's CSS on their forums. I'm not sure, but I do believe our compiled CSS minifies, and includes any CSS it finds, including Jigo's.

Out of curiosity, do you use any CDN? I use MaxCDN and it works wonders to reduce the server load.

I'm using Cloudflare.

Inside the pagelines jigoshop plugin is a css file that gets called on the shop pages:

wp-content/plugins/pagelines-jigoshop/style.css

Apparently this is taking a loooong time to load and slows the shop pages.

I was thinking I could incorporate that code into Jigoshop's frontend.css ???

Hey Lakersalex, you stated,

I'm using Cloudflare.

Did you test or notice an improvement in site speed after signing up with Cloudflare? I ask because I'm considering it with BlueHost.

And, if you are still in the consideration process, I recommend Cart66 and they have a buffer check out page (Mijireh) so everyone is fully protected through checkout. I've been using c66 over a year with no issues. Just began using Mijireh. Nonetheless, keep us posted on your final solutions.

Thanks,

Dustin

That style.css file is taking 1ms to load. Being on a shared host, 3.5s for a website is pretty good.

Hi Simon, hmm, maybe it's a problem with my internet connection? In your opinion is the site slow?

Hi dustin, I haven't checked a before and after with Cloudflare but I was hoping Cloudflare would have made a huge difference and put my concern to rest. Way beyond the consideration stage, the site is going live on monday.

You can use pingdom to get a speed test

Google Speed Test scores the home page an 89-100. I guess it's all in my head?

One of their suggestions is:

Minimize redirects

Remove the following redirect chain if possible:

      Jigoshop and PL5
      By flourishdesignstudio+
      I am using Jigoshop on a website that also uses PL5 and am running into an issue where the store pages do not allow me to use the PL5 editor. Is anyone else having this problem or know if a solution? 
      When I open the Chrome console I see the following error:
      site.js?ver=b199df:5 Uncaught ReferenceError: PLData is not defined
          at Object.setMasterModel (site.js?ver=b199df:5)
          at Object.init (site.js?ver=b199df:5)
          at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (site.js?ver=b199df:5)
          at i (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:2)
          at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:2)
          at Function.ready (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:2)
          at HTMLDocument.K (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:2)
       
      The problem can be seen here: http://fingerlakesdistilling.com/shop/ where the sidebar, footer, and header do not show up. Any thoughts?
      Thanks so much!

      I'm starting up a webshop for a client using DMS 2 and Jigoshop.
      Everything work fine but the products doesn't show, even if i add a new product and want to preview it, it's a blank space where the product should appear.
      I have been searching for 2 days but can't find any solution.
       
      Don't say it's a Jigoshop issue, everything work if i change the theme to Twenty Fifteen.
       
      When i first started i know everything worked fine and i could see all the products, but as i remember there was a Pagelines language upgrade a few days ago. After upgrading the problem started.
       
      Website url: http://www.webbshop.hrcgruppen.se
      Framework version: DMS 2
      Wordpress version: v.1.1-sv_SE
      Plugin use: DMS Professional tool v1.8.5
      Jigoshop v 1.16.1
      Pagelines updater v1.2.6
       
      Please help!

      Hi, I am working with Jigoshop and I have noticed that the table and forms do not play well with the 'responsive' element of DMS.
       
      Here is what my cart looks like on iPhones (the white is off screen.)
