10 Tips to Speed Up Magento 2 Performance

• By Magemonkeys

1. Latest Version

• It is very important that you are always running
  the latest version of Magento as updates
  generally contain bug fixes and performance
  improvements. There are three main steps when it
  comes to upgrading a Magento installation.

2. Content Delivery Network

• Implementing a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
  with Magento is one of the easiest ways to
  instantly see decreased load times. By doing
  this, you will ensure you are serving your assets
  (product images, JavaScript, CSS) from multiple
  locations around the globe so they are delivered
  faster to your shoppers.

3. Utilize Caching

• There are many forms of caching that can be
  implemented with Magento. Many people have great
  success combining NGINX APC Memcache
  Varnish caching. Make sure all Cache Types are
  enabled by navigating to System ? Cache
  Management.

4. Enable Flat Catalog

• Magento uses the EAV model (entity attribute
  value) to store customer and product data.
  Enabling the flat catalog for categories and
  products merges product data into one table,
  thereby improving performance by responding to
  MySQL queries faster.

5. Image Optimization

• As we mentioned in a previous post on lossless
  image compression, on average 56 percent of a
  websites page weight is made up of images.
  Optimizing your product images can dramatically
  increase the speed of your pages as this
  decreases their download times.

6. Concatenate CSS and JavaScript Files

• Magento uses the EAV model (entity attribute
  value) to store customer and product data.
  Enabling the flat catalog for categories and
  products merges product data into one table,
  thereby improving performance by responding to
  MySQL queries faster.

7. Enable Magento Compilation

• Magento has a compilation feature which has been
  reported to sometimes give up to a 50
  performance boost. By default, Magentos
  application files are searched in a certain order
  everytime the page loads, which results in a lot
  of file system reads.

8. Clean Up Magento Database Logs

• Magento keeps logs up to 180 days. This can
  result in your database growing quite large. You
  change it to something smaller like two weeks (14
  days) to save space.Navigate to Stores ?
  Configuration ? Advanced? System ? Log.

9. Fewer Extensions Modules

• Just like with WordPress and any other platform,
  the more extensions you have running the more
  HTTP requests there are, as well as additional
  CSS and JavaScript files having to load. It is
  best to keep your Magento install down to as few
  extensions as possible.

10. MySQL Configuration

• The database for the Advanced Management Console
  provides data storage to host all the data. The
  database stores information about MSI files and
  applications, deployment rules, and deployment
  rule sets. The database also stores information
  about agents, Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
  statistics, and Java Installer configurations.
