Deactivate Magento Visitor Logs

Posted on December 22, 2012 by Nimrod Techn There have been 0 comments

Magento can be a beast. Every time a potential customer visits the website, several SQL queries run to log his details in the DB.
Not only that this is unnecessary (most of the details, except for the IP, are tracked by Google Analytics anyway), this could be a serious performance issue.

How to deactivate?

Copy /app/code/core/Mage/Log/Model/Visitor.php

To: /app/code/local/Mage/Log/Model/Visitor.php

 

Change the 4th line:

protected $_skipRequestLogging = false;

To:

protected $_skipRequestLogging = true;
