What we cover

The five domains where Magento spends its time.

Server & TTFB

OPcache sizing, PHP-FPM tuning, full-page-cache configuration, and the hosting-vs-catalog-size match. The first place to look on most slow stores.

TTFB playbook →

Caching

Redis configured properly across three databases. Varnish doing HTTP-level caching with cache-tag invalidation. The two highest-leverage server-side improvements.

Redis setup →

Frontend & Themes

WebP, native lazy-loading, responsive image sizing, and the Hyvä-vs-Luma question that determines whether the frontend is a performance liability.
