Proven techniques and tools to optimize your website's speed and performance
A slow website will result in a poor user experience and loss of revenue. Optimizing your website’s speed and performance will give your customers a better user experience, improve your search engine rankings, and increase your conversion rates.
Website analysis
Our team thoroughly analyzes your website to identify any issues that may be causing slow page loading times.
Server optimization
We optimize your server configuration to ensure that it's running optimally for Magento. This includes tuning server settings, configuring caching systems, and optimizing your database.
Code optimization
Our certified developers optimize your website's code to ensure that it's following Magento coding standards and best practices for performance. We also remove any unnecessary code that may be slowing down your website.
Image optimization
We optimize your website's images to reduce their file size without compromising quality. This can help reduce page loading times, especially on mobile devices.
Content delivery network (CDN) integration
We integrate a CDN into your website to reduce page loading times by delivering content from a server closest to the user.
Steps To Follow
Enable caching
Magento has built-in caching mechanisms that significantly improve website performance. You can enable caching in the Magento backend by navigating to System > Cache Management and selecting the types of caches you want to enable.
Minify CSS and JavaScript
Minifying your website's CSS and JavaScript files can reduce their file size, making them faster to load. Magento has a built-in option to merge and minify CSS and JavaScript files. You can enable this option in the Magento backend by navigating to Stores > Configuration > Advanced > Developer > JavaScript Settings/CSS Settings.
Optimize images
Large image files can slow down your website's loading times. Magento allows you to optimize images by resizing them and compressing them to reduce their file size. You can do this in the Magento backend by navigating to Stores > Configuration > Advanced > Developer > Image Processing Settings.
Advance Steps To Follow
Server optimization
Upgrade to a faster server or VPS: A faster server can improve website performance and reduce page loading times.
Optimize database performance
Database performance can affect website performance. Optimize your database by reducing the number of database queries, optimizing table structure, and indexing tables.
Enable server-side caching
Server-side caching can reduce the amount of processing required to generate pages, reducing page loading times.
Redis
Redis is an in-memory data structure store that can be used as a cache in Magento. Redis cache can significantly improve website performance by reducing database queries and page loading times. Redis can be integrated with Magento using third-party extensions like Magento Redis Cache.
Regular cleaning of log entries from Magento database
Magento logs can accumulate over time and take up valuable database space, leading to slow performance. Regular cleaning of log entries from the Magento database can free up space and improve website performance. Magento has built-in log-cleaning functionality that can be configured to clean logs automatically.
Use of Elasticsearch or OpenSearch
Elasticsearch or OpenSearch is a search engine that can be used to improve website search performance. It provides faster search results and better search accuracy than Magento's built-in search engine. Elasticsearch or OpenSearch can be integrated with Magento using third-party extensions like Elasticsearch Connector.
Live search
Live search is a feature that allows users to see search results as they type. Live search can improve user experience and reduce the time it takes for users to find what they are looking for. Live search can be integrated with Magento using third-party extensions like Search Autocomplete and Suggest.
Database optimization
Database optimization can significantly improve website performance by reducing database queries and optimizing table structure. Magento has built-in functionality for indexing tables, which can improve query performance. Additionally, third-party extensions like MagePlaza Database Cleaner can be used to optimize database structure and clean up unnecessary data.
Use RabbitMQ
Install, configure, and monitor RabbitMQ on a separate server. Monitor queue performance to ensure the queue is functioning correctly and identify any performance issues.
Tools To Check Performance
Identifying slow performance is essential to optimize Magento website speed and performance. Here are some tools that we use to help identify slow performance.
Google PageSpeed Insights
This tool analyzes website speed and provides suggestions to optimize website performance. It scores website speed on 0-100 for desktop and mobile devices.
GTmetrix
This tool analyzes website speed and provides suggestions to optimize website performance. It provides a detailed report on website speed, including page loading times, page size, and the number of requests made.
New Relic
This tool provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for website speed and performance. It monitors server-side and client-side performance and provides insights into website performance issues. New Relic can identify slow queries, page rendering, and other issues affecting website speed.

Accessibility Statement

December 5, 2023
Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
