Magento – Reducing page load time on product collection / product collection usage options

categoryproduct-list

I want to show the full product list from a category without pagination, however with ~500 simple products page loading is slow. Is there any way I can fetch the full collection and show sections at a time, reducing page load times?

Alternatively is there a way I can setPageSize(20) (or something), but save the full collection for use later in the list.phtml file?

Loading 500 product will always slow down the server.

However you can trick the function to get the result.

You can load products on scroll, so that customer don't need to go to next page.

See this link.

If you using this function I would recommend to disable your pagination and count function from admin.

Hope this helps.

Simply because complex products must process more so are naturally multiple times slower. Likely your other categories only have simple products, normally this comes back to inadequate hosting.

You can try using something like this in your category page:

<?php if ($_product->isConfigurable()): ?>
<?php $attributes = $_product->getTypeInstance(true)->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($_product); ?>
<?php foreach ($attributes as $attribute): ?>
    <?php if ($attribute['attribute_id'] == $yourSizeAttributeId): ?>
        <?php foreach($attribute['values'] as $option): ?>
            <?php echo $option['label'] ?>
        <?php endforeach ?>
    <?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

This will get you the list of the attributes that are used for configuring the product and for each attribute only the list of options that have an associated simple product.
