Since the release of Magento 1, there have been numerous innovations in technology. This ever-changing technology, in turn, brings changes in eCommerce customer expectations and also in the way businesses function.
Thus, incorporating all the changes in the e-commerce ecosystem, Magento released Magento 2.
So if you are still using an outdated version like Magento 1 or any other eCommerce platform, the below blog is a must-read. It will give you a clear picture of how Magento 2 features will make a great difference to your success in eCommerce.
Speed and Performance
Poor eStore performance was the major issue faced by Magento 1 users, which has been completely solved in Magento 2.
On average, 60% of customers expect the website to load in nearly 2 seconds, and approximately 40% of shoppers tend to leave the web page that takes more than 3 seconds to load.
Check out the below differences in speed and performance between Magento 1 and Magento 2:
Technology Stack
Magento 1 is an outdated platform, and so are the technologies it is developed on. Magento has significantly improved Magento 2 architecture with the latest versions of technologies.
Admin Panel, Checkout, and Support
Magento 1 admin panel was believed to be too complicated and not very user-friendly to handle. Magento has now enhanced the admin panel in Magento 2. Admins with no Magento background can also efficiently use the Magento 2 admin panel.
Magento 2 has come up with a streamlined and easy checkout process. Unlike Magento 1, it also allows a consumer to checkout without any registration.
Magento officially ended its support for Magento 1 in June 2020. That means if your website requires any kind of technical support or upgrades, Magento will not provide any of that.
Magento provides 24/7 support for Magento 2.
