Speeding up the Magento admin

I’ve noticed a few people discussing this issue on the Magento Commerce forum, so it might be worthwhile for us to offer a level of assistance (other than the fast Magento hosting we provide already from sonassi hosting).

  1. Downloading the following file, SlowManageCategories.zip patch.
  2. Extract the zip file and copy Sonassi_All.xml to your ./app/etc/modules/ directory.
  3. Copy the SlowManageCategories directory to ./app/code/local/ directory.

  1. Hello,
    Can you please tell me exactly what this will do? Specifically what part of the backend area this effects.
    Thank You

  2. Hi Ted,

    It is the “manage categories” area specifically.

    Hi, could you please tell me, what difference in category editing this script will take effect? I have noticed no difference in speed or appearance in category editing.
    thanks, joe :)

    • It is a bug fix for a core-code fault in 1.3 that causes a class to be re-loaded each time an element in the category tree is drawn. The patch fixes that by telling it to use the existing instance.
