PrestaShop Server Configuration

Slow checkout = abandoned carts. We optimize PrestaShop servers to load 3x faster, handle Black Friday traffic spikes, and eliminate downtime that costs you sales. See results within the first week - better page speed scores, lower bounce rates, higher conversions.

E-commerce platforms need specialized infrastructure

PrestaShop performance optimization

Generic hosting kills PrestaShop performance. We've seen stores lose 40% of revenue simply because their server couldn't handle traffic properly. Default, typical configurations ignore PrestaShop's architecture and specific requirements. No opcode caching, database running on slow defaults, sessions storage bottlenecks, image serving unoptimized.

Our approach is to build infrastructure specifically for PrestaShop's workload patterns. This results with stores that handle 10x more concurrent users on the same hardware!

We handle everything: server selection, OS hardening, web server tuning, PHP optimization, database configuration, caching layers, CDN integration, and security hardening.

Our PrestaShop optimization process

How we deliver 3x performance gains

  • Performance audit - Identify bottlenecks: slow queries, memory leaks, cache misses
  • Server sizing - Right hardware for your traffic (VPS, dedicated, or cloud)
  • OS & web server - Nginx/Apache tuned for PrestaShop's request patterns
  • PHP optimization - OPcache, memory limits, execution timeouts configured properly
  • Database tuning - MySQL query cache, indexes, connection pooling
    Caching layers - Redis/Memcached for sessions, object cache, page cache
  • Security hardening - PCI-DSS compliant setup, WAF rules for e-commerce

Speed = revenue in e-commerce

Why server performance matters for PrestaShop

Every 100ms of delay costs you 1% in conversions. That's not theory - that's data from thousands of e-commerce stores. Over 53% abandon if pages take >3 seconds. Your competitors' faster checkout wins those sales.

Google prioritizes fast sites - better Core Web Vitals mean higher rankings, more organic traffic, lower ad costs.

  • Page load time - Reduce TTFB by 80%, first contentful paint under 1s
  • Zero downtime - 99.9%+ uptime even during traffic spikes
  • Secure payments - PCI-DSS ready infrastructure protects customer data
  • Resource efficiency - Handle 5x more traffic without upgrading hardware
  • Scalability - Add capacity in minutes when you need it

Configuration is just the start

24/7 managed support for PrestaShop

Real value comes from ongoing management - keeping your store fast and available around the clock. Our PrestaShop expertise means we catch issues before they impact sales. Proactive monitoring watches both server metrics and application performance. Full time, 24/7 server monitoring covers server health, database performance, queue processing, and PrestaShop-specific issues like module conflicts or memory exhaustion.

We prevent problems, not just fix them. You focus on growing sales, we handle infrastructure.

Prestashop Server Management

Basic setup: 6-12 hours, typically completed within 2 business days depending on store complexity.
Full optimization with migration: 5-7 days including thorough testing under load.
We always provide a detailed timeline before starting work.

In general - YES. We've achieved 60-80% reduction in page load times on average, with some stores seeing 300% improvements.

However every e-commerce works different and each one must be checked individually. Specific gains depend on current setup, catalog size, module stack, traffic patterns. Free audit tells you exactly what's possible for your store.

Absolutely. We start with a comprehensive audit - checking database queries, server resources, cache hit rates, module performance.
Often simple changes deliver big wins - enabling OPcache, fixing slow queries, adding Redis.
If deeper work is needed, we plan everything to avoid downtime. Zero-downtime migrations are our specialty.

Yes - multiple tiers of managed support from basic monitoring to comprehensive 24/7 administration with dedicated engineers.
Choose the level that fits your needs - and scale up during peak seasons if needed.

Security is built into every configuration. We implement:
- WAF (Web Application Firewall) with PrestaShop-specific rules
- DDoS mitigation at network and application layers
- SSL/TLS with HSTS, proper cipher suites
- Automated patching for OS and critical dependencies
- Intrusion detection with automated blocking
- Daily backups with tested restore procedures

Your customer data stays protected.
