We have had our site up for about 7 years. We have tried many things, but only one had a marked improvement.

SPEED SPEEEEEEEEED......

If your site is slow you lose. We had a shared server thru Datapipe. Most of the time it worked fine, but other times it slowed to a crawl and or glitched. The problem with a shared server is no matter how well you have cleaned up your program, you are limited by the worst site on your server.

We paid the bucks for a dedicated server and within a week our sales increased 10%. For us the payback was 20 fold the cost. Now our site is very fast and we never have down time unless we mess up..
