How to make your e-commerce faster?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but in this article you won't find any of this, but rather, I will give you the suggestion, the most important trick of all, to be able to seriously start improving the speed of your e-commerce.

Speed – if you can measure it, you can improve it When we can measure what we are talking about, and express it in numbers, we can say we know something about it; on the contrary, if we cannot express it with numbers, our knowledge will be poor and unsatisfactory.

In all these years, you don't know how many times I've talked to clients and listened to them while they told me: my site is slow

A statement that was both true and false, because it was a completely subjective and at the same time objective thought. Hmm? A little confusing?

The thing that always made me dissatisfied was the inability to give a concrete response to these customers.

Thus it was that after having become acquainted with the writings of Lord William Thomson Kelvin (famous British mathematician, engineer and physicist, who contributed to developing the second law of thermodynamics and was the inventor of the absolute temperature scale) I had an epiphany that led me to the awareness that a hosting service, especially aimed at businesses and e-commerce, could not fail to give customers the most important information: the measurement of the speed of their website

Not as an optional, but as a measure, inserted by design inside the control panel, a useful measure that can make the performance trend clear and that can be taken as a starting point for improving the speed itself.

The "performance manager" was therefore born, a tool active on all Host profiles that measures response times every 60 minutes.

On project profiles, where we tend to host high-traffic e-commerce sites (over 50,000 monthly sessions), the measurement is performed every minute.

And don't ask me why, but when you put a person in front of a measure, which is important to him, he magically improves.
