Test website is test website Thanks

Answer 1

Things I would try in that order:

• MvcMiniProfiler.
• Analyze my code for possible performance bottlenecks using a .NET profiler.
• Finally submit bugs to the nopCommerce support if the previous approaches didn't yield anything fruitful that would put my code into cause.

In between I might also checkout with my hosting provider whether he is not the cause of the slowness.
