Online Shop Scalability
Hannover, 25 August 2009. Merchants and customers alike crave fast on-line shops, for the customer experience they provide and to prevent abandoned carts. Alexander Ringsdorff, CEO of Visions, has published a technology backgrounder on the topic in the German Internet World Business trade magazine (issue 17/09).Reducing page loading times by a few hundred milliseconds can markedly increase revenue. A study by Google showed that increasing loading times by a half-second reduced search revenue by 20%; Amazon confirmed the effect in A/B tests. Alexander Ringsdorff discusses infrastructure and e-commerce platform considerations relevant to performance and scalability in issue 17/09 of Internet World Business, the largest German e-commerce trade magazine.
Fast Loading Times with Magento
"Fast loading times are a priority for on-line shops of all sizes. The secret of the fastest shops is a good caching system", Ringsdorff explains. "Frequently requested pages need only be rendered once and can then be displayed to many visitors. Magento Commerce is at the technological frontier in this are with its integrated block-level caching engine. In the course of our project work, we can usually halve loading times."
Visions provides further information on the topic in a post on the official Magento Blog.
