Magento 2 Performance Optimization

NGINX is a popular high-performance web server that powers over 40% of websites worldwide. With a minimal memory footprint, it can scale easily on lightweight hardware. The NGINX web server can deliver web pages up to 50% faster than Apache.

It uses an asynchronous event-driven approach rather than threads to handle requests for the Magento website.

The architecture provides consistent Magento performance under high loads. NGINX is also a reverse proxy and load balancer for incoming traffic.

NGINX can scale easily on minimal hardware and excels at serving static content. It has a robust module system that can proxy dynamic requests. NGINX is an essential technology component to increase Magento 2 performance.

AWS Graviton is the latest ARM-based processor with an optimal price performance ratio for intensive workloads. It delivers up to 40% higher Magento 2 performance at a 20% lower cost.

The processor uses 64-bit Arm Neoverse cores for 5x faster memory and 2x larger caches than the previous x86-fueled processors. The Graviton 2-based instances support a wide range of workloads.

It includes application servers, microservices, high-performance computing, machine learning, and electronic design automation. It is useful for video encoding, gaming, open-source databases, in-memory caches, and running a Magento Shop at the highest speed!

The AWS Graviton processors are built on a Nitro security chip with dedicated hardware and software for security functions. AWS Graviton 2 has 256-bit DRAM encryption and 50% faster per core encryption performance than x86.

At MGT Commerce, we use the latest AWS processors to deliver high performance for Magento 2 stores.

AWS Graviton 3 processors offer up to 25% better compute performance. It has a 2x higher floating-point performance. The latest processor offers 2x faster cryptographic workload performance than AWS Graviton 2.

It also supports DDR5 memory, which provides 50% more memory bandwidth than DDR4. The processors offer the best hardware performance ratio for many workloads, resulting in a fast loading speed for Magento applications.

The latest Graviton 3 processors offer pointer authentication for enhanced security. It features dedicated caches for every vCPU and always-on memory encryption.

Elasticsearch is a distributed search and analytics engine built on Apache Lucene. It displays better search results to store visitors and enhances user experience. You can make your Magento website search-friendly and boost sales with finely tuned search results.

It combines different searches based on structured, unstructured, geo, and metric data types. Elasticsearch is a required component for Magento 2.4 installation, and we offer a pre-configured stack compatible with Magento.

Elasticsearch can scale up to thousands of servers using its distributed architecture.
It offers horizontal scaling and lets you extend resources and balance loading. You get the best matches in near real-time for your full-text searches from even very large data sets.

We offer Varnish and Redis cache. Varnish cache is a web accelerator that boosts site speed by up to 10x. Redis is the in-memory data store that improves server response times and ensures performance optimization for Magento 2 stores.

Magento ecommerce shops require fast loading pages for a smooth shopping cart experience. Varnish cache speeds up Magento as it stores a copy of the web page the first time the user visits. It can handle large traffic and improve Magento 2 performance for customers.

Varnish visits your server once to cache the page. After that, all future requests for the same page are served by Varnish.

We also use Redis caching to speed up website page load time for users. It can serve frequently requested items at sub-millisecond response times. Redis enables you to scale higher loads when your server experiences traffic spikes.

It results in caching, persistent session caching, and web page caching. It also includes caching frequently used objects such as your Magento store’s images, files, and metadata in production mode.

Our high-performance tech stack has a well-configured caching mechanism to increase page loading time.

You can use the Magento admin panel and caching tools for image optimization, lazy loading, and full-page cache. The tech stack ensures consistent performance and flexibility while making changes in developer mode.

Yes, our High Performance stack comes with a fully configured Elasticsearch.

For your Magento store, you can execute complex queries extremely fast. It caches structured queries commonly used as a filter for the result set.

For every other request which contains a cached filter, it checks the result from the cache. It saves time parsing and executing the query to improve the Magento website speed.

You can commonly use it for log analytics, full-text search, and security. It also includes business analytics use cases for stores. Elasticsearch keeps a log of search queries and stores and centralizes logs from various sources.

It processes large volumes of Magento store data in parallel. It quickly finds the best matches for the customer’s queries.

In Multi-Server Environments, Varnish helps to protect against outages for your Magento stores. The Varnish continues to serve cached content if the web server has a high load. It can serve a large number of requests and helps reduce the server load for your website.

A managed Varnish cache system improves your online store’s page speed and SEO ranking. An improved user experience enhances the store’s visibility on search engines.
You can also save up to 80% on infrastructure costs using Varnish.

The MGT technology stack is specifically built for Magento websites and offers less than 0.3 seconds of page load time.
