Things you can do today to ensure you have the fastest possible site
Performance and speed of a website has always been a hot topic for every Miva Merchant site owner. Rick Wilson of Miva Merchant recently posted a reply on the Miva Merchant Community Forum that outlines four key things that you can do to ensure you have the fastest Miva Merchant site possible:
First and foremost make sure you’re using and writing efficient code. Bruce Golub (of Phosphor Media) recently wrote an excellent Forum post (I’ll link to it as soon as I find it again) about this and I believe is working on a semi regular guest spot on our blog about this topic. Bruce has a keen understanding of our to speed up complex websites, especially on Miva Merchant.
Second make sure you’re only using modules and items on pages you absolutely need, every thing you add to your store adds a little bit of overhead, when combined this can have a massive impact.
Third obviously make sure you’ve fully optimized all of your images and you’re not using HTML or CSS to resize bloated images. That may look ok, but will hurt you.
Finally if you’ve done the top 3 and your site is still on the lower end of the speed spectrum, you need to look into either a more powerful box (ensure you’re on a high quality host, which I’m sure you are, then you can look at semi dedicated or dedicated perhaps) or a much cheaper alternative is Phosphor Media’s Merchant Optimizer.

Reintroducing Myself
I’d like to take a few minutes to introduce myself to some of the newer folks in the Miva Merchant community and to reintroduce myself to those who have known me since I first started using the shopping cart application Miva Merchant. The first store I ever built using Miva Merchant was Holiday Treasures. It’s still a Miva Merchant store that has been in the capable hands of it’s owners for a number of years.
Many of you also knew me as the owner of Webs Your Way and also as a Web Developer at EWTN. Two years ago I was approached with an offer of a lifetime – to be able to work with my favorite application full time for eMediaSales with James Harrell as a Web Production Manager. It has been a wonderful opportunity, but effective January 1, 2010 I will no longer be with the company. I was let go.
I’m now looking to rebuild my independent consultant/contractor/developer status again. I also need to tweak my resume for those of you who are so inclined to peruse it, please feel free to provide your input. I haven’t updated it a while and know I need to include some of the Social Media tools like Twitter, Facebook and WordPress. I’ve also been working on a list of Project sites and even created one for sites that are no longer with us.
I’ll continue to be a moderator for the Miva Merchant Community Forums. Some of you may have known me as Leslie Nord, some of you are getting to know me as Leslie Kirk. I will be moderating and posting as lesliekirk (my posts as leslienord will still be there too). You can look for me on Twitter as mivaleslie, on AIM as lesliemiva and occasionally on Skype as mivaleslie.
I hope to be able to attend the Miva Merchant Conference 2010 and continue to bring you my photo blogging of the events. It’s going to boil down to being to afford an airline ticket.
In the mean time, while I do have a few Friends & Family type projects to keep my mind occupied, I’d love to hear from you if you are needing any assistance with projects that you might have in the works.
