Does Magento slow down page loading speed?

Re: Does Magento slow down page loading speed?

Here are some tips to maintain or improve page load speed when migrating from a custom PHP site to Magento:

  • Use a specialized Magento hosting provider that optimizes infrastructure for Magento performance. Avoid cheap shared hosting and go for Managed Magento Hosting.
  • Implement Redis or Varnish caching. Caching is critical for fast Magento sites.
  • Enable Gzip compression in the web server config.
  • Optimize images by compressing, resizing, and enabling lazy loading. Images are often the biggest factor in site weight.
  • Minify and consolidate CSS and JavaScript files. Reduce the number of HTTP requests.
  • Configure Content Delivery Network (CDN) for static assets. This offloads resource delivery for faster loads.
  • Check for and eliminate any redundant custom code or unnecessary modules impacting performance.
  • Monitor site speed and optimize database. Tuning MySQL config can significantly help.
