→If you work with OpenCart 3, you may have noticed slow admin panel performance or issues with displaying extensions. The most common symptoms include delays when loading the "Extensions" page, inability to scroll in the "Modules" tab, or incorrect display of the extensions list. The primary cause of these issues is often the advertising banners embedded in the admin panel.
Advertising banners in OpenCart are loaded from the official OpenCart website, which is protected by the Cloudflare system. This protection sometimes interferes with the proper loading of ad blocks, especially if your server or internet provider faces access difficulties with these resources. As a result, delays in the admin panel operation or interface errors occur.
To resolve these issues, you can use a free modifier that disables ad blocks in the admin panel. This is a simple way to improve the admin panel's performance and make the interface cleaner and more user-friendly. Removing ads not only speeds up the admin panel but also enhances the overall user experience.
If you want to avoid such issues initially, we recommend using our OcStore build, which is already free of these drawbacks. Note that the modifier is distributed "as is," without guarantees or technical support. Before applying it to a live site, test it on a copy of the system.
