Magento Speed Optimisation in London

Speeding up Magento stores for London retailers, where the question is what is preventing the cache from working. Full page caching makes Magento fast, and a single badly built extension marking pages as uncacheable removes that entirely — so the store runs the full application on every request while appearing correctly configured.

Why this comes up

The problem

Full page cache is enabled and hit rates are near zero because something is marking pages private.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Cache hit rates measured, since a configured cache is not necessarily a working one
  • Extensions identified that mark pages uncacheable or invalidate too broadly
  • Private content handled through the intended mechanism rather than by disabling cache
  • Varnish configured correctly, as this is where the platform expects to be fast
  • Indexers set to update on schedule rather than on save
  • Database and Elasticsearch tuned for the catalogue's actual size

Magento Speed Optimisation in London — common questions

Why is the cache not working?
Usually because something opted out of it. Extensions that inject customer-specific content can mark whole pages private rather than using the mechanism designed for that, so the cache is enabled, correctly configured and serving almost nothing.
How is that diagnosed?
By measuring hit rates and then finding the responsible module. The measurement is straightforward and the attribution takes longer, but it is the single most valuable piece of performance work available on most Magento stores.
Should indexers update on save?
Almost never on a live store. Updating on save means every catalogue change triggers reindexing immediately, which is why bulk price updates can bring a store to a halt — scheduled updates batch that work and keep the site responsive.
Is faster hosting the answer?
Rarely on its own. A store with a broken cache runs the full application for every visitor, and more hardware makes that cheaper to survive rather than fixing it — so establishing why the cache is not being used comes first, and often removes the need entirely.
Do you work with businesses across Greater London?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout London, including London and the surrounding Greater London area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of London businesses do you usually work with?
Clients here are usually replacing an agency, and want senior people on the work at rates that are not Central London rates. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Professional Services, Technology, Media, Hospitality and Retail.
Do you cover the areas around London?
Yes — we work throughout London, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Brighton. London is an urban area of roughly 9,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Greater London region rather than the city boundary alone.
