If your Zen Cart store does not include downloadable products, setting Enable Downloads to False will reduce the number of queries used to calculate and display product information and therefore speed up the rendering of your store pages in the browser.
To disable downloads in Zen Cart:
- Log in to your Zen Cart store Admin
- From the Configuration menu, select Attribute Settings
- Select Enable Downloads and then click the Edit button.
- Select False and then click the Update button.

Ok, this is an interesting idea… however… Is this even enabled if no attributes are shown on the product info page? I am thinking not, because there is a php if statement flag to see if there are attributes on it… if not then the php attributes script is not used… so no performance increase I think with this… good try however…

Tom, this is not to say that you don’t have any product attributes enabled. However, if you are only selling physical products or services (ie no downloadable products) then disabling the Downloads option will reduce the number of queries Zen Cart runs to generate the product page.
