Each Magento store team sooner or later encounters performance issues it can’t resolve (unless it’s a full-fledged IT department on site). Our Magento performance optimization services are the rescue since there’s no technical challenge we can’t overcome. With 100+ Magento stores of all kinds optimized, we’ve gathered unique expertise and experience in accelerating mobile and desktop websites.

For sure: a faster store is key to your online business success. People are satiated with online shopping, which makes them super picky. They won’t wait if each new page load is noticeable. Site speed is critical in making visitors go through the whole conversion funnel.

  • Better sales funnel at least 5% conversion growth
  • Reliable work under load 3x-5x higher workloads
  • Increased sales +7% average growth
  • Rise in customer satisfaction 34% lower bounce rate
  • More traffic from Google average 36% organic traffic increase
  • Impeccable Pagespeed score 90+ score guaranteed

Our Magento Performance Optimization Services

How is it going with your PageSpeed Insights score? Is it orange or even red? Does the mobile version perform worse than the desktop one? Does the store pass the Core Web Vitals assessment? These are just several indications the store needs close attention. To achieve a sustainable and lasting effect, we use a combination of the measures listed below.

  • Code Optimization
    In fact, each Magento store needs to have its code reviewed and optimized on both the frontend and backend. Regarding PHP optimization, we detect and streamline the slowest parts, check and disable redundant modules, and make all the necessary updates. Speaking of HTML and JS optimization, we eliminate heavy logic, apply code compression, delete unnecessary scripts, and prioritize code execution. And these are just some procedures included in our Magento speed optimization service.
  • Database Optimization
    Magento’s MySQL database needs a tidy-up when we see that queries are handled in a sub-optimal way. There are several typical issues: it takes too long to handle queries (calculations are ill-conceived), excessive requests are present, or indexes are configured incorrectly. We identify and remove all these obstacles, then apply caching for the eligible queries.
  • Server Optimization
    It implies dealing with your web server (Nginx/Apache) settings and the overall server configuration and capacity. Optimizing the web server usually means upgrading to the HTTP/2 protocol to accelerate request execution, applying Gzip to compress transferred content, and implementing browser caching for static content. On a global scale, we ensure your server can withstand the amount of traffic during peak hours/days. If there’s a need to alter the configuration, move to the cloud hosting, or pick another solution, it’s on us too.
  • Caching Optimization
    It’s hard to imagine a Magento performance optimization service without introducing proper caching. Still, there are so many options and tools, so mistakes are inevitable. As a seasoned team, we have tested them all and know what fits each store and case better. We blend full-page, block, and static content caching, as well as utilize Redis, Varnish, and CDNs (Content delivery networks) to provide optimal performance for all your customers.
  • Image Optimization
    Good photos are one of the essentials for every store. But non-optimized media may do more harm than good because they considerably slow down a website. However, there are lots of methods available to tackle the issue. Among the easiest ones is switching to specific file formats like WebP. More tricky practices include setting up caching and defining a lazy loading strategy to delay requests for pics that are outside the viewport.
  • Performance Audit
    Prior to opting for Magento 2 speed optimization services, we conduct a store performance check. Once it’s done, you get a detailed report with hosting, backend, and frontend optimization recommendations, as well as UX suggestions.

More than Magento 2 Speed Optimization Service

There are a few typical challenges hindering Magento stores from performing well. Over the years, we’ve built an efficient system to combat them.

  • Tackling Poor User Experience

    As you know, a store's performance is more than just high speed. Using Google Analytics and other tools, we analyze user behavior to see which pages and parts offer the worst UX, why so, and what should be done first. We discuss your KPIs and needs to make sure the optimization process is aligned with your business goals.

  • Handling Third-party Extensions

    We fix and optimize extensions creating multiple database queries, which can bog down even a fast server setup. We review the code, find where the bottlenecks are, and make these extensions work in synergy with each other. We bundle the queries together where possible to reduce the load on the database server.

  • Rewriting Previous Customizations

    Your existing customizations might be another headache because of insufficient code quality. Good knowledge of PHP doesn't always equal understanding Magento intricacies at the same level. Sometimes we have to rewrite the whole code from the ground up to eradicate mistakes made by the previous team and accelerate the store.

  • Improving Store Scalability

    Developers might not test their extensions on large-scale stores simulating massive loads with thousands of customers visiting the store simultaneously. As a result, those extensions work fine on smaller Magento sites but lead to subpar performance as the store grows. The same principle may apply to the whole store architecture: we need to eliminate limitations to expand possibilities like several frontends geared for different devices, for instance.

Magento Speed & Performance Optimization FAQ

What is Magento speed optimization, and why do I need it for my website?

It’s the process of removing the bottlenecks, rethinking the logic, and streamlining the operations on the backend and frontend. It’s a complex task: we get rid of redundancies, partly rewrite the code, update or replace extensions, configure caching correctly, check whether the hosting solution meets the business needs, and so forth.

What PageSpeed Insights scores will I get in the end?

Well, it’s almost impossible to reach a score of 100. But, if fully optimized, your store will pass all the PSI assessments and appear in the green zone with a 90+ score.

Can you guarantee a certain level of website speed improvement after optimization?

Definitely! Otherwise, why start such an undertaking? Once all optimization procedures are done, your store’s loading speed will increase on smartphones and laptops. And after that, you’ll see a rise in the conversion rate as well as a decline in the cart abandonment and bounce rates.

Is the backend Magento site performance optimization available?

Surely. We typically work both on the frontend and backend to achieve better website performance.

Is your Magento speed optimization service suitable for both Magento 1 and Magento 2 websites?

Yes, we work with all Magento versions, no matter how old or new.

Can you optimize my Magento site for mobile performance as well?

For sure. Moreover, we see mobile optimization as one of our top priorities since mobile commerce is getting more and more prevalent among online shoppers.
