php - Magento Shipping Method Loading speed -

in e-commerce site, have configured fedex shipping shipping api. in methods, i've choose 1 allow method "international economy". though have 1 method allow, checking logs of fedex, seems api query methods , return result. because of this, took @ least minute return shipping rates.

is normal magento? or there anyway speed query speed or there modification or hack can make query allow method?

kindly advise.

thank you.

i have seen few questions fedex magento , speed recently.

i not convinced fedex request causing delay, figure out (and answer questions):-

the code sends out requests is:

//file: app/code/core/mage/usa/modell/shipping/carrier/fedex.php //class: mage_usa_model_shipping_carrier_fedex //function: _getquotes()     protected function _getquotes()     {         $this->_result = mage::getmodel('shipping/rate_result');         // make separate request smart post method         $allowedmethods = explode(',', $this->getconfigdata('allowed_methods'));         if (in_array(self::rate_request_smartpost, $allowedmethods)) {             $response = $this->_doratesrequest(self::rate_request_smartpost);             $preparedsmartpost = $this->_preparerateresponse($response);             if (!$preparedsmartpost->geterror()) {                 $this->_result->append($preparedsmartpost);             }         }         // make general request methods         $response = $this->_doratesrequest(self::rate_request_general);         $preparedgeneral = $this->_preparerateresponse($response);         if (!$preparedgeneral->geterror() || ($this->_result->geterror() && $preparedgeneral->geterror())) {             $this->_result->append($preparedgeneral);         }         return $this->_result;     } 

so answer 1: yes, magento collect methods irrespective of methods allowed via admin. in 2 requests, 1 smartpost , 1 other methods.

answer 2: if want ask single service type seeking set, example,

$ratesrequest['requestedshipment']['servicetype'] = 'international_economy';

for testing*, copy file from

//file: app/code/core/mage/usa/modell/shipping/carrier/fedex.php 

to

//file: app/code/local/mage/usa/modell/shipping/carrier/fedex.php 

and change code to:

//file: app/code/local/mage/usa/modell/shipping/carrier/fedex.php //class: mage_usa_model_shipping_carrier_fedex //function: _getquotes()     protected function _getquotes()     {         $this->_result = mage::getmodel('shipping/rate_result');         // make separate request smart post method         $allowedmethods = explode(',', $this->getconfigdata('allowed_methods'));          //a little test code me; can omit         //echo(nl2br(print_r($allowedmethods,true)));         //exit();         /*         array<br /> (<br />     [0] => europe_first_international_priority<br />     [1] => fedex_1_day_freight<br />     [2] => fedex_2_day_freight<br />     [3] => fedex_2_day<br />     [4] => fedex_2_day_am<br />     [5] => fedex_3_day_freight<br />     [6] => fedex_express_saver<br />     [7] => fedex_ground<br />     [8] => first_overnight<br />     [9] => ground_home_delivery<br />     [10] => international_economy<br />     [11] => international_economy_freight<br />     [12] => international_first<br />     [13] => international_ground<br />     [14] => international_priority<br />     [15] => international_priority_freight<br />     [16] => priority_overnight<br />     [17] => smart_post<br />     [18] => standard_overnight<br />     [19] => fedex_freight<br />     [20] => fedex_national_freight<br /> )<br /> */     //this new bit (non core) if(count($allowedmethods)==1){       //then there 1 method use         $response = $this->_doratesrequest($allowedmethods[0]);         $preparedsinglerate = $this->_preparerateresponse($response);         if (!$preparedsinglerate->geterror() || ($this->_result->geterror() && $preparedsinglerate->geterror())) {             $this->_result->append($preparedsinglerate);         } }else{       //revert default treatment:             if (in_array(self::rate_request_smartpost, $allowedmethods)) {             $response = $this->_doratesrequest(self::rate_request_smartpost);             $preparedsmartpost = $this->_preparerateresponse($response);             if (!$preparedsmartpost->geterror()) {                 $this->_result->append($preparedsmartpost);             }         }          // make general request methods         $response = $this->_doratesrequest(self::rate_request_general);         $preparedgeneral = $this->_preparerateresponse($response);         if (!$preparedgeneral->geterror() || ($this->_result->geterror() && $preparedgeneral->geterror())) {             $this->_result->append($preparedgeneral);         } }           return $this->_result;     } 

and edit end of function _formraterequest in same file cope specific rate request purpose:

//file: app/code/local/mage/usa/modell/shipping/carrier/fedex.php //class: mage_usa_model_shipping_carrier_fedex //function: formraterequest() protected function _formraterequest($purpose) {     $r = $this->_rawrequest;     //...     //...     if ($purpose == self::rate_request_general) {         $ratesrequest['requestedshipment']['requestedpackagelineitems'][0]['insuredvalue'] = array(             'amount'  => $r->getvalue(),             'currency' => $this->getcurrencycode()         );     } else if ($purpose == self::rate_request_smartpost) {         $ratesrequest['requestedshipment']['servicetype'] = self::rate_request_smartpost;         $ratesrequest['requestedshipment']['smartpostdetail'] = array(             'indicia' => ((float)$r->getweight() >= 1) ? 'parcel_select' : 'presorted_standard',             'hubid' => $this->getconfigdata('smartpost_hubid')         );     } else {  //this new bit (non core)         $ratesrequest['requestedshipment']['requestedpackagelineitems'][0]['insuredvalue'] = array(             'amount'  => $r->getvalue(),             'currency' => $this->getcurrencycode()         );                   $ratesrequest['requestedshipment']['servicetype'] = $purpose;     }      return $ratesrequest; }//end function _formraterequest     

that should fetch rate want. but might not solve speed issues.

you can run timing tests adding timers , logging (to var/log/shipping_fedex.log) this:

//file: app/code/local/mage/usa/modell/shipping/carrier/fedex.php //class: mage_usa_model_shipping_carrier_fedex //function:      protected function _getquotes()     {         $this->_result = mage::getmodel('shipping/rate_result');         // make separate request smart post method         $allowedmethods = explode(',', $this->getconfigdata('allowed_methods'));     //this new bit (non core) if(count($allowedmethods)==1){                 //then there 1 method use         $time_start = microtime(true);         $response = $this->_doratesrequest($allowedmethods[0]);         $preparedsinglerate = $this->_preparerateresponse($response);         if (!$preparedsinglerate->geterror() || ($this->_result->geterror() && $preparedsinglerate->geterror())) {             $this->_result->append($preparedsinglerate);         }         $time_end = microtime(true);         $time = $time_end - $time_start;                 $this->_debug('polled '.$allowedmethods[0].' in '.$time.' seconds'); }else{     //revert default treatment:          $time_start = microtime(true);                if (in_array(self::rate_request_smartpost, $allowedmethods)) {             $response = $this->_doratesrequest(self::rate_request_smartpost);             $preparedsmartpost = $this->_preparerateresponse($response);             if (!$preparedsmartpost->geterror()) {                 $this->_result->append($preparedsmartpost);             }         }     $time_end = microtime(true);     $time = $time_end - $time_start;             $this->_debug('polled smart_post in '.$time.' seconds');          // make general request methods         $time_start = microtime(true);                $response = $this->_doratesrequest(self::rate_request_general);         $preparedgeneral = $this->_preparerateresponse($response);         if (!$preparedgeneral->geterror() || ($this->_result->geterror() && $preparedgeneral->geterror())) {             $this->_result->append($preparedgeneral);         }         $time_end = microtime(true);         $time = $time_end - $time_start;                 $this->_debug('polled methods in '.$time.' seconds'); }            return $this->_result;     } 

i'm hitting fedex sandbox worth record these timings in log file:

    //file: var/log/shipping_fedex.log      polled smart_post in 1.1807501316071 seconds     polled smart_post in 1.3307409286499 seconds     polled methods in 0.78275394439697 seconds  //returns warning 556 [message] => there no valid services available.     polled methods in 2.0135650634766 seconds  //returns 8 valid shipping methods     polled methods in 1.3563330173492 seconds  //returns international_economy , international_priority //single service request results     polled fedex_2_day in 3.1365180015564 seconds     polled fedex_2_day in 3.6471431255341 seconds     polled fedex_2_day in 2.1428818702698 seconds     polled international_economy in 2.2340540885925 seconds     polled international_economy in 2.9664940834045 seconds 

so load files timers , let know get.

*for production of course customary here 'make own module extends class mage_usa_model_shipping_carrier_fedex'.

**notes : had force currency code sent in request 'usd' fedex return shipping rates service types other smart_post, if testing thing out that.
