SpeedBooster

As page caching requires a page load to cache, without intervention, the first page load will be uncached and slower than the following pages loads. If you're truly concerned about a single page load not running as fast as the rest, you'll need to find a way to pre-load the page, like a crawler script, by hand, building your own script, etc... (If you're a linux guru, a simple curl request to each of the affected pages would do great)

No. Speedbooster makes use of the default block-level caching already built into Magento. As such, it requires no configuration after installation.

For a developer, modifying the core usually involves modifying any code inside the app/code/core folder of the Magento application. Magento is meant to be extended/overwritten...not altered. If a developer is making changes to your application by editing code app/code/core, they don't understand this difference and their changes will be erased if Magento is ever upgraded. That said, routine layout changes or extending core functions, rather than altering, should not cause conflicts. Also, even if core modifications are made, the module will likely work, unless the modified code influences caching. So, instead of trying to say which part of the stove isn't going to burn you, it's just typically better to say not to touch the stove at all. If you do, we'd like to not be responsible for any pain that came as a result.

Unfortunately, we don't offer a free trial. Once we've released the code for implementation, we can't recall it, and prefer to avoid the possible issues surrounding that circumstance. In some cases we can issue you a development license for lightspeed, but it is subject to a few restrictions on the base URL of your development environment. Other products aren't available on a trial basis, but if you'd like to see the modules in action we do have demo servers. As always we do offer a 15-day grace period for returns. If things don't work out for any reason in that first 15 days, we'll give you a full refund. Note: You may be asked to allow access to your admin to ensure TinyBrick products have been completely removed.

Ongoing updates are FREE for the life of the product, unless a major upgrade revision requires a major re-architecture of the module. To date, only True Edit Orders has required this once.

Currently, we only accept PayPal, although you can checkout using a credit cart without actually creating a PayPal account.

Modules are sold per domain, and are registered to 1 domain. We offer bulk discounts for the following volumes:

• 2 = 20% off
• 3 = 30% off
• 4 = 40% off
• 5+ = 50% off
The TinyBrick shopping cart will automatically apply these discounts. If you end up purchasing your licenses at separate times, please contact a representative to arrange the promotional discount. You may also want to check out our policy on development licenses.

Yes! Please use the demo servers to test out any scenarios you're curious about. Log in credentials are on the admin log in screen.

• Lightspeed
• True Order Edit
• PromoBot (front-end)

Before Speedbooster, Magento generally return results in 2-4 seconds, serving 3 - 20 pages per second. After Speedbooster, you should expect to see HTML response times from 0.4 to 0.6 seconds, almost independent of server size or traffic, as long as your developer has followed the install documentation and has not modified Magento's core code. We also recommend that you check these results using a tool such as firebug to be able to accurately measure results. More information on measuring the performance of your site can be found in our Speed Testing doc. Note: To further decrease page loads, make sure you've enabled gzip compression, compressed javascript and css, use image sprites, and when possible, a content delivery network.

Speedbooster doesn't directly speed up the admin (Speedbooster focuses on storefront browsing). It may, however, indirectly free up server resources, allowing the admin to run faster. However, if you're dealing with a slow admin, you might want to check first to see if your server meets the minimum requirements set for Magento to run properly. Sometimes shared hosting servers will NOT provide necessary resources to run Magento, even with Lightspeed installed.

Indirectly, yes. However, you may want to consider other areas of a performance issue if your admin and checkout are both slow. (like Hardware, Server Configuration, etc…).

You can potentially run Speedbooster along with other products as long as they don't replicate the function (rewrite the same classes). You should be careful and it might not hurt to lookup your uninstall procedures for other "speed/booster" modules before purchasing.

Most likely, you'll be able to tell right away. If not, refer to our speed testing guide to check your page response times or the standard documentation.
