We have developed a Magento page caching module that reduces page response times to lower than half a second. You can see our module working at zumiez.com and redmarblesteaks.com

Cahyadi, It's not as simple as that and I should have pointed that out in my original post. Database cache sizes really depend on a large number of factors. In it's simplest forms: How much ram you have, if the DB server is also Web Server etc and how many DB's on the server. I am not sure that Mysql conf processes the bytes notation with the commas, so to be sure I would remove them or test it. Some good scripts to run to give an idea of your Mysql cache usages are Ensure your Database server is running for at least 48 hours prior to running the above scripts. Also, if the machine is heavily loaded, you may find these scripts overloading the site, so run them outside peak periods.

Thanks for the clear step by step posting.

I have checked MySQL variables and found that my values are larger:

query_cache_type = ON
query_cache_size = 536,870,912
query_cache_limit= 33,554,432

So, is this good or bad? Should I change them to the values you describe?

Thanks!

Nice post, it helped me to optimize my site a little bit. The results in FireBug where so-so, but it feels a lot smoother now. Thanks man :)

Thanks,
This has halved the loading times on the store I’m working on.

From 800 Kb including all product images
To 400Kb

Thanks a lot.
