The Section Australian contingent is excited to be attending MagentoLive Australia in Sydney from November 7-8th. As an Australian-founded company with offices in both Australia and the US and a recent Magento Select Technology Partner, we love catching up with Magento clients and hearing about trends in the ecommerce industry at Magento events.
This year, we’re also launching a campaign to educate ecommerce sites on why we consider caching the #1 way for businesses to see quick improvements in website speed, page views, and even conversion rates and revenue. As part of this campaign, if you tweet #CacheisKing, even if you’re not a Magento platform or at Magento Live, you’ll be entered to win a Cache is King t-shirt and one of these BB-8 robots from Sphero. You can also enter to win at this page.
Caching Immediatly Improves Website Performance
Here are the top 5 reasons we think #CacheisKing:
-
Browser caching stores copies of files on a website visitor’s own computer, reducing page load time when they next visit your site.
-
Server caching stories copies of files up to and including full HTML documents on a caching server (or globally distributed caches such as a CDN delivers), and a properly configured cache solution will improve website speed more than almost any other website enhancement.
-
Caching speeds up pages and it also reduces the back-end load on your server, saving you hosting costs.
-
Using a flexible cache solution such as Varnish Cache websites can set rules so that some pages are cached and others are not, or parts of pages that include un-cacheable content such as personalized information is not cached.
-
Caching improves both speed and scalability, the ability for your website to handle sudden influxes of traffic without slowing down or going offline.
