Magento 2: More power, more simplicity, more speed

Officially launched in November 2015, Magento 2 was designed to simplify the lives of both e-merchants and developers. His arrival opens many perspectives for the solution. All the issues raised by the Magento community with regard to the first version will be answered in Magento 2.

We are delighted to begin the development and to deploy the clients of our agency on this new version. Magento 2 looks like the future of e-commerce. In a few months, necessary for its tweaking and its improvement, all the developers will turn to this second version until the updates of Magento 1 are getting rarer and the modules unpublished are only reserved for Magento 2.

While Magento 1 has already largely proven itself in terms of robustness and flexibility, with Magento 2 performance is generally improved and reinforced:

  • More power: ability to support a larger product database and possibility of editing the same product sheet by several admins simultaneously
  • More speed: addition of Full page caching, improvement of speed in terms of loading time, consultation of the catalog, addition to the basket and placing of the order
  • More security: in terms of source code, navigation data and all elements
  • More practical: redesign of the Back-end in flat design and creation of a more intuitive menu on the administrator side allowing better ergonomics and greater user comfort
  • More freedom: high customization possibilities, especially in terms of graphics
  • More simplicity: for the creation of product sheets, but also at the level of file structure and templating which will be easier to tackle without special technical knowledge
  • More modernity: refresh of the technologies used by default HTML 5 / CSS 3 / MySQL 5.6, CSS-pre processor, jQuery

Other developments complete the list of improvements: pre-installation control for the installation of new modules, optimization in terms of data import / export and catalog management. Responsive is also invited in the Front-end of Magento 2 which comes with a theme adapting to any type of device for use on computer, tablet and mobile.

Overall, Magento 2 has been designed to better support daily needs and the growth of e-commerce activity. For comparison, the figures speak for themselves: with the same server architecture, it will be possible to place twice as many orders and serve 20 times more catalog pages with Magento 2 than with Magento 1.

 

 

Magento migration all versions to Magento 1.9.4 or 2

Migrating your Magento to the most recent version is like upgrading your e-commerce. The desire to migrate a Magento from an old version to a newer version must therefore be motivated by three criteria:

  • Security: security vulnerabilities detected in previous versions have been fixed.
  • Performance: the more the versions evolve over time, the more they are efficient.
  • Features: the most recent version benefits from the best updates and the latest news in terms of modules and features.

There are two possibilities for e-merchants wishing to upgrade:

  • Apply the security patches one by one.
  • Perform the overall version upgrade.
