    December 10, 2018 — За онлайн магазините скоростта е дори още по-важна от колкото за един “стандартен” сайт. Всяка допълнителна секунда време за зареждане води до по-слаби резултати в продажбите и финансови загуби. Въпреки това, за много хора оптимизирането на онлайн магазини е сериозно предизвикателство.

    В тази лекция, ще покажа как да приложите техники за оптимизация, включително и правилно настройване на кеширането си за да постигнете един бърз и добре продаващ онлайн магазин.
