My last project was very challenging where I was told to optimize Magento Site, Customer was using a dedicated server where I've to optimize not only Magento but also Optimize & Speed up the server, Took me some real time and hard work. I am happy Yayyyyy. I don't want to get in details as far as server configuration but I achieve 1.98s load time Magento which was loading in 22s to 15s , I got it down to 1.98s I've setup the following APC Memcached Nginx with Pagespeed If you need any assistance from me speeding up your Magento, Drop me a line, I charge flat $1,000 and trust me it takes a lot of time and effort, Oh yea client was using Amazon Cloudfront CDN but then he switch to Akamai CDN which is the TOP Dawg in CDN world I am here to assist. So do you want to speed up your magento store ?
