Technical review

What changed in production

Each study is structured around the operating problem, the Peakhour control path, and the measurable outcome.

Challenge

The Challenge

  • Client's Magento 1 store was struggling to handle high traffic from marketing campaigns.
  • Slow page loading times were causing a direct loss of sales.
  • An immediate and effective performance solution was desperately needed.

Solution

Peakhour's Solution

  • A simple DNS change allowed Peakhour to immediately start caching and optimising the site.
  • A custom Peakhour plugin was developed and installed on the Magento 1 platform.
  • The plugin enabled seamless integration with Peakhour's global cache, making dynamic content cacheable.
  • Enhanced cache tags were added for targeted content flushing, achieving Magento 2-like performance.

Results

The Results

  • Page load times dropped by 44%.
  • A 41% increase in organic users was observed.
  • The client experienced a 34% increase in revenue.
  • ECSSO developers could focus on new functionality instead of performance optimisation.

Customer quote

"Our developers can focus on extending functionality because the Peakhour.IO platform optimised resources automatically, saving development time. We reviewed other providers and their onboarding process was too difficult. The client wanted an immediate gain and Peakhour.IO was able to deliver."
