8 reasons why you need to migrate:
- Magento End of life was June 2020.
If you still continue to use Magento 1 after end date your risk of a data breach will increase. Magento 1 users have already become a security target after past June 30, 2020. The damage to your brand and reputation from such a breach can be long-lasting.
- Modernized Technology Stack
Magento 2 has upgraded the minimum versions of the technology stack. This means for e.g. that PHP 5.5 is the minimum version supported. Likewise MySQL 5.6, HTML5, CSS3 are now standard.
- Better Performance and Scalability
The most important feature of Magento 2 is the built-in full page cache. This FPC supports varnish as back-end.
The load time for the home, product and category pages on the first view will be fast (less than 1.5 sec per page) and faster when the cache is enabled (less than 0.75 sec per page).
Magento 2.0 is also compatible with varnish 4, and the HHVM 3.6 which enables to compile PHP code on the fly. Magento 2 will be faster than Magento 1 because there’s a lot more front-end stuff that gets pre-compiled or done with AJAX in Magento 2.It is possible to do database sharing by functional area. (i.e.) the product information is stored in a different DB server and this retrieves product information faster for users who are browsing for that information.
On the other hand, check out information can be stored in another DB server, making check out process smooth and seamless.This enables scaling.
- Pages Load Faster
Magento 1.x need dozens of JS to be loaded just to build a single page. This has been reduced in Magento 2 making the page load faster.
JavaScript management has been improved with the move from prototype JS to JQuery and Require JS.JavaScript Bundling has also been implemented to reduce the page load time.
- Smooth Customization
The code base has been re-structured so that everything specific to a module resides under a single directory for that module. Magento 2 now uses the defacto PHP package manager, Composer, to manage the installation of modules.
The business logic and presentation logic have also been separated so that it is easy to customize and maintain customization even when product patches are installed.
- Seamless Integration of Third Party Modules
Magento 2 has published well-defined APIs that serve as interface to modules.
This ensures that code changes within the module do not affect external modules and vice versa. This helps in customizing and enhancing the modules.
- Clean and Modern Code Base
The bad and legacy code is removed in Magento 2. There’s no easy way to leave the non-optimized code in place for Magento 2 sites.
- Easier Installations and Upgrades
Magento 2 has been designed to make installing patches and upgrades easier. This greatly helps merchants because it is important for them to keep upgrading to the latest versions in order to enjoy the latest product features and functionalities. Easier installations also enables smooth installations of security patches improving site security.
