10 Effective Ways to Optimize Magento Performance In the world of online shopping where milliseconds are
extremely important, configuring an eCommerce site for optimal performance is indispensable.
Kissmetrics reports that if an online shopping site is making $100,000 every day, a 1-second page delay could result in about $2.5 million loss each year.
Therefore, if you are using the enthralling Magento platform for your eCommerce business, you need to configure it properly so that you can realize improved response times and higher conversion rates.
Here are some effective tips you can use to ensure your Magento website offers fast and exceptional experience to users.
1. Enable Output Compression Performing this tweak will turn on the
Apache mod_deflate module and result in less file operations for each incoming request.
Since this tweak will compress text, CSS, and Javascript files before they are sent to the browser, it will greatly improve the loading time of your Magento store.
2. Enable Expires Headers Potential shoppers coming to your site for the
first time have to complete several HTTP requests. If you use the “Expires” header feature, it will result in making the constituents of the requests cacheable and evade excessive HTTP requests on later site loads.
3. Merge Javascript and CSS Files Merging Javascript and CSS files on the
Magento platform will lower the number of HTTP requests on your shopping website and drastically reduce the load time.
If you perform this tweak, your site will load only one merged file instead of several Javascript and CSS files found on your eCommerce site.
4. Enable Flat Catalog The Magento software utilizes the EAV model to
keep visitors and items data. If you enable the Flat Catalog for Categories
and Products feature, you will consolidate product data into a single table, and make your store to work better and faster.
5. Maintain Clean Databases One of the main reasons why the Magento
platform starts running slowly is because of unmaintained databases.
When there is an accumulation of database logs, it becomes difficult to send and retrieve data from the platform. So, you need to reduce the strain on your website by maintaining clean databases.
