Legacy Magento Setup Needed Performance Optimization
Filmtools’ Magento storefront was weighed down by old patches, heavy third-party
themes, and broken extensions that slowed performance and complicated
operations.
- Outdated Magento version created gaps in security and updates.
- Third-party theme dragged down PLP/PDP load times.
- Incompatible extensions caused cart and checkout failures.
- Poorly configured Elasticsearch made product discovery unreliable.
- Weak navigation frustrated users and led to higher bounce.
