Case Study: Merkur achieves sub-0.5-second Magento response times with Creatim

Merkur makes Magento 2 response times under 0.5 sec with Creatim

Creatim was engaged by Merkur, an established DIY retailer in Southeast Europe, to rebuild its struggling online store. The customer's existing Magento platform was over-customized and could not support its strategic goals for e-commerce growth. The challenge was to build a new, high-performance Magento 2 Enterprise solution that would deliver a better user experience and enable innovative merchandising.

The solution by Creatim involved a comprehensive overhaul, including identifying and replacing a problematic facet navigation module with a redesign centered on Elasticsearch to dramatically improve catalog performance. Creatim also optimized the technical infrastructure with faster processors and implemented proactive caching. As a result, the vendor delivered one of the fastest Magento 2 enterprise shops, achieving server response times for uncached pages of under 0.5 seconds.
