Why Your Magento Checkout Is Slow — and the Architecture That Fixes It
Your Magento checkout is slow because the Full Page Cache can't touch it — it's an app, not a page. The five real causes, and how to measure before you guess.
The Architecture Brief · Newsletter
Senior Magento & Laravel architecture, written plainly. Each issue takes one real performance problem apart — what was measured, what it was costing, and what we’d do on Monday. Evidence over opinion, in email form.
What’s in every issue
The Brief holds itself to the same bar as the paid work. If a month has nothing worth tearing down properly, we skip the month rather than pad it.
Each issue takes one real slow system apart — the symptom, what we measured, and the cause that actually explained the number. No “7 speed hacks”, no recycled checklists.
Every claim is anchored to something measured on a real system, with units. If we can’t show the number, we don’t make the claim — same rule as the audits.
Every issue ends the way an audit does: what to fix first, what can wait, and why — ranked by impact, not by how interesting the fix is to write about.
