Performance

Practices for stores that handle peaks

Methods that deliver results in the first sprint: faster catalogs, stable checkout, and predictable performance during sales.

Focus
01 Catalog caching and personalization without slowdowns.
02 Fast filters, search, and pagination.
03 Metrics, alerts, and load testing.
Cache

Multi‑layer cache

Controlled cache at component, data, and HTTP levels. I isolate hot catalog segments and personalized blocks.

Catalog

Catalog optimization

Indexing, denormalization, and optimal filters for 100k+ SKUs.

Infra

Infrastructure and CDN

Horizontal scaling, media CDN, queues, and background jobs.

What the project includes

Techniques tailored to load, seasonality, and traffic profile.

DB

Database optimization

Query profiling, indexes, optimal schemas.

Search

Search and filters

Fast search, relevance, and result caching.

QA

Load testing

Scenarios, stress tests, reports, and checklists.

How I measure impact

I track metrics before and after optimization to show real impact.

01 TTFB, LCP, catalog and search speed.
02 5xx errors, DB load, background job queues.
03 Cart conversion and checkout speed.
Load testing

Load scenarios

Scenarios for real peaks: checkout, payments, and search.

Observability

Monitoring and alerts

Alerts, error logs, monitoring disks, DB, and queues.

Typical optimization plan

A step‑by‑step approach that reduces risks and delivers quick wins.

Week 1

Audit and prioritization

Metrics, logging, bottleneck map.

Week 2

Quick improvements

Caching, indexes, filter and search optimization.

Week 3+

Scaling

CDN, queues, background jobs, resilience.
