Over the past few months we have been re-engineering how products are created in our system. The aim of this project was to eliminate the case where a product would be generated with out any product images. However after many months of work we have also been able to significantly reduce the time it takes to create a product and add it to a users cart.
This has been a significant undertaking but we are now happy to report that we have reduced the time it takes to create a product and add to a users cart by about 45% on average.
The speed increase should be noticeable to all users and we hope that this will lead to an increase in conversion rates for our merchants.
