Get Nitro. Straight from the OpenCart Marketplace.

The listing there is the whole download — one ocmod archive, nothing to fill in on our side first. Installing it applies Nitro's recommended profile and starts your 7-day trial immediately; opening the settings afterwards is for tuning, not for starting it.

The download itself needs an opencart.com account — OpenCart's, not ours. We ask for no account and no email address, and the trial starts without either.

Latest version

1.2.0

ocmod archive

  • OpenCart
  • No ionCube, no PHP extensions to install
  • Ordinary shared hosting is fine

Installing

Three steps, in the admin you already use.

There is no installer to run on the server, no composer step and nothing to edit by hand. The whole of it happens in OpenCart's own extension screens.

  1. Upload the archive

    Extensions → Installer, and upload the ocmod archive exactly as downloaded. Nothing needs unzipping first.

  2. Refresh modifications

    Extensions → Modifications, then Refresh, so OpenCart applies Nitro's patches.

  3. Install Nitro

    Extensions → Extensions → Modules, and install Nitro from the list — that's what starts your 7-day trial.

Compatibility

What it needs

  • OpenCart
  • Whatever PHP your store already runs — running the highest version your host offers is recommended
  • Ordinary shared hosting is fine — no Ioncube, no extensions to install
  • A cron entry, if you want the cache warmed automatically

What's new

Changelog

1.2.0

  • Greek admin translation.
  • Nitro did not work on every domain of a multi-store.
  • Blocked Patterns could block real pages and images.
  • The nginx settings were rejected by Plesk, so none of them applied.
  • A failed database query stopped the rest of the scheduled job.
  • The php.ini settings now separate what a domain can set from what needs server access.

1.1.1

  • The license state in the admin widget printed the name of its translation instead of the translation.
  • A single index that cannot be built no longer stops the rest of the batch, and the reason MySQL gave is reported instead of a guess about privileges.
  • New Errors tab under Insights, listing everything Nitro caught and worked around, so a problem on the server is visible without reading the PHP log.
  • The price index rebuild failed on a stock MySQL 8 and blamed a missing table. Nitro's own database connection now matches the one OpenCart opens, and a rebuild that does fail reports what MySQL actually said.

1.1.0

  • Russian admin translation.

1.0.1

  • Product rows no longer duplicate on a store that disabled a language but kept its product descriptions.

1.0.0

  • First public release.
