Optimizations and enhancements for prestashop 1.6

Sometimes, prestashop turns very slow due to ads, and module recomendations. Here are some modifications to version 1.6 removing these things and speed up the admin panels. Enjoy and share your tricks about how optimize prestashop.

Modify Tools class

[https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/1.6.1.x/classes/Tools.php#L3351-L3356] Find the file /public/classes/Tools.php and modify as next:

public static function addonsRequest($request, $params = array())

	<?php

	/**
	* @file
	* Local development override configuration feature.
	*
	* To activate this feature, copy and rename it such that its path plus
	* filename is 'sites/yoursite.com/settings.local.php'. Then, go to the bottom
	* of 'sites/yoursite.com/settings.php' and uncomment the commented lines that
	* mention 'settings.local.php'.

	# Nodes:

	<?
	function MYMODULE_form_node_admin_content_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
	$column_alias = 'my_cool_column';
	$column_title = 'Header of my cool column';

	// Load the nodes. This incurrs very little overhead as
	// "$nodes = node_load_multiple($nids);" has already been run on these
	// nids in node_admin_nodes(). The static cache will be used instead of
	// another db query being invoked
	$nodes = node_load_multiple(array_keys($form['admin']['nodes']['#options']));

	// Note that you will still need to update any URLs that appear in the content,
