Speed up Magento with Full Page Cache Extensions

X Buffer Facebook LinkedIn Reddit

Offline customers and customers shopping online have one thing in common: They are not patient at all. Whilst offline stores can increase the numbers of employees and improve the training of their staff, online stores can do quite a lot on the technical side. A more clean and simple layout, an improved checkout process via one step checkout solutions to decrease the abandonment of shopping carts or an increased site speed for instance. For the latter, that’s exactly where page cache solutions come into play. A native Magento installation already comes with a caching features, but unfortunately those are not working for pages. According to Forrester Research, however, customers expect pages to be loaded within 2 seconds. Otherwise half of them are just one click away from your competitor’s site and are lost, especially during peak shopping times at night and if the page load takes longer than 3 seconds. So, a site at full speed is quintessential for high conversion rates and loyal customers.

For Magento powered shops, we would like to introduce the respective modules from Amasty and Templates Master, two major players in the fast-growing Magento extension market.
