Magento is one of the most widely preferred platforms for E-Commerce development. In this age of advanced technology, Magento offers premium features which attract every user from the initial stages itself. Being an open-source PHP based framework, it is extremely flexible and scalable, allowing one to reap from these multiple advantages for the progress of their own business. The platform of Magento 2 is its latest version, bringing more impressive benefits and functional features for its users so that one can witness unlimited growth of their digital enterprise.

Data states that almost 30% of all the websites on the Internet are powered by Magento. The Magento developer takes special effort in creating customised websites integrated with advanced modular features that draw out the best revenue-oriented results. The store owner can also take help from the use of premium Magento based extensions and plugins so that all business operations can be handled smoothly for better execution.

While Magento 2 has its own benefits, one certainly cannot deny using it for its upgraded features that facilitate the growth of the business website. Below the other benefits of Magento 2 are discussed in detail.

1. Performance Enhancer

The performance of Magento 2 is made better by introducing a seperate database which handles the processing of all orders. The performance of this framework is also improved by reducing the requirement for more codes, by doing more browser rendering, by better compressing and optimisation of the images, and by following a static form of caching for content. Magento 2 aims to provide extraordinary consistency in performance along with standardised stability which also promises to deliver ample results.

Another latest feature of Magento 2 is improved indexing. This process through the system of Magento transforms merchant data like the prices of the catalogues, product prices, store price etc. One can manage this by creating index tables and updating them from time to time so as to boost the speed of the query and hence maximise the performance of the E-Commerce website. The new version of default indexers offered by Magento 2 accumulates all the functionality just like in the previous enterprise versions. The only benefit is that the recent one comes up with effective timely updates, hence offering better, improvised results for the online business.

2. The performance toolkit

Magento 2 has come up with the latest kind of performance toolkit, one that can test all environments and also test the changed codes. The performance test scripts of this new version are utilised.

Varnish - This helps to bring down the server load and therefore increase the speed of the new page load. Another similar but new feature integrated with the Varnish Cache, a leading HTTP accelerator technology which is mostly responsible for caching all the common requests.
Full Page Caching - here, all content from the static page is cached. This way, the performance of the website is increased significantly and the load of the server is lowered.
The Multiple admin users - with this, one can create as well as edit the products in the store without fearing about any conflicts in data.

3. Improvements in design

The appeal of the new admin panel is the new highlight of Magento 2. It is touch-friendly. The creation or setting of the products is simplified to a huge extent, the views of the table can be customised accordingly, and also configured and saved besides the ability for in-line editing. The management of the product categories is made more adaptable while access controls can be customised according to user suitability.

One can easily add any new features or details to the system. Even the content for promotion is made easier. The theme is blank without any specific customisation which enables the developers to begin with the theme development work along with the vital integration of multiple features. One can enjoy the new default theme of Magento 2 which is called “Luma”. This theme is extremely eye-catching, bringing along with it substantial changes as compared to a theme from the previous version which is Madison Island Theme.

4. Smooth checkout system

The new version provides a smoother checkout procedure which is one of the significant factors of this platform. With fewer clicks and pages, it is of huge benefit to the customers. For example, the single click account creation is prompted only on the page for order confirmation. Magento 2 also comes with the feature of approaching the customer who really wants to purchase something from the store. This is also less time consuming for checkout.

The checkout procedure is made transparent by showing the shipping rates instantly after the customer fills up all the necessary information. The total payment is calculated on its own. The page is also speedy, automatic and friendly to zip codes.
