With its multitude of features, robustness, and cutting-edge technology, Magento claims its
position among the leading eCommerce platforms worldwide. By 2020, 1.4% of the global eCommerce
sites and 2,50,000 merchants used Magento. This highly customisable platform possesses the
capability to solve business problems faced by startups and established players alike. Among the
top brands that use Magento include Ford, Bulgari, Land Rover, Pepe Jeans, Harvey Nichols, Omega
Watches, and more.
Magento offers a range of benefits for all sizes of businesses. Here are some of the reasons why
Magento is popular among companies.
In eCommerce, web load speed is extremely critical. According to Google statistics, around 50% of
the users abandon web pages that don’t load within 3 seconds. The latest version of Magento
requires MySQL 5.6 and the updated version of PHP. While MySQL enables quicker query processing,
caching, and reindexing, the updated PHP version improves load time by enhancing caching. Magento
2 can manage as much as 10 million page-views in an hour with reduced load times even during heavy
web traffic.
“Almost 50% of online transactions take place using mobile devices.
Magento is known for staying abreast with mobile web design standards and make your website
mobile-friendly. Magento’s enhanced search functionality and mobile-friendly checkout can
help you significantly improve your conversion rate.
