Yes, MageAnts can optimize your Magento 1 site for speed without needing to upgrade to Magento 2.
We follow a comprehensive performance strategy, including:
- Using Full Page Caching (FPC) to reduce TTFB (Time to First Byte).
- Storing session data in Redis or Memcached rather than filesystem.
- Minifying and combining CSS/JS files to reduce the number of HTTP requests.
- Optimizing image delivery using lazy loading or CDN integration.
- Cleaning up the Magento database by removing obsolete data like old logs, quotes, and sessions.
- Enabling flat product and category catalogs.
- Reindexing on schedule to keep catalog and product data up to date.
