We've released our Magento 2 plugin for e-commerce stores using Magento. It brings Peakhour's caching features into Magento, including capabilities that other providers often reserve for enterprise plans. With Peakhour, 'Enterprise for Everyone' means making those features available to all customers, regardless of plan.
Why Cache Tags Matter
Cache tags solve a practical website management problem: keeping your cache current when content changes. In Magento 2, a single change, such as updating a product's price, can affect multiple pages. Cache tags ensure that only the relevant cached content is updated, maintaining cache efficiency and reducing server load. That matters for website speed and user experience, which directly affect sales and SEO rankings.
Enterprise for Everyone
While other providers offer cache tags only in expensive enterprise plans, Peakhour makes this feature available to everyone. Our infrastructure and caching algorithms make that possible. We also offer other enterprise-level features, including DDoS protection, real-time analytics, and custom caching rules, so 'Enterprise for Everyone' is reflected in the product rather than just the plan names.
Peakhour vs. Magento and Varnish Caching
Our plugin goes beyond Magento's built-in caching and Varnish cache in several ways:
-
Custom Cache Tags: Unlike Magento's built-in cache, we offer custom cache tags for more granular cache control.
-
Advanced Algorithms: Our caching algorithms go beyond Varnish, helping improve cache hit rates and lower server load.
-
Additional Features: With Peakhour, caching sits alongside real-time analytics, DDoS protection, and custom caching rules, features often missing in standard Magento or Varnish setups.
Expected Performance Improvements
By using Peakhour's Magento 2 plugin, you can expect performance improvements:
-
Faster Page Loads: Our caching can reduce page load times by up to 50%, giving users a smoother experience.
-
Reduced Server Load: Efficient caching means fewer requests to your origin server, reducing server load by as much as 70%.
-
Improved SEO: Faster websites are favoured by search engines, which can improve SEO rankings.
-
Higher Conversion Rates: A faster website gives users a better experience, which can lead to higher conversion rates and increased sales.
Installation Options
You can install the Magento 2 plugin through Magento Connect, Composer, or a ZIP file. For more detail, see our plugin page.
