PrestaShop Optimization Guide
The first step when optimizing PrestaShop is to make sure that you use the latest version of PrestaShop (and at least 1.6.1.4 or newer) which support PHP 7.

If you can't use the latest version of PrestaShop or you need to use release older than 1.6.1.4 we recommend that you use at least PHP version 5.5 or 5.6 with opcode caching enabled (available by default with our Linux Shared Hosting plans).
