Adobe Commerce speed optimization that passes Core Web Vitals and actually converts.
A slow store loses orders before the first product even loads. We are a senior team of Adobe-certified Magento engineers who tune every layer that decides how fast the store feels: server response and TTFB, full-page cache with Fastly and Varnish, Redis, images, JavaScript and CSS, and the front-end itself. We fix the real bottlenecks, prove the gains against Core Web Vitals, and make sure the speed holds. Sixteen years in, with no junior bench and no plugin doing the thinking.
When the store is slow, you are paying for it on every page load.
Most teams call us with the same symptoms: a high time to first byte, a failing Core Web Vitals report, a checkout that stalls on mobile, and a front-end carrying years of stacked scripts. A slow store quietly taxes conversion, ad spend, and search rankings at the same time. We replace the guesswork with measurement, fix the layers that actually move the numbers, from full-page cache and Redis to images and the theme, and verify the result against real Core Web Vitals. If you want the full diagnosis first, start with a Magento code audit, and when the fixes are worth doing, our Adobe Commerce development services can carry them.

We're here to help you win, plain and simple.
Same senior team from kickoff to launch and beyond. We do not outsource, we do not disappear after go-live, and we do not hand you off.
Across every phase. Discovery, build, launch, and growth, the same senior team stays with you.

We do not install a single optimization extension and call it done. Senior engineers work through every layer that decides how fast the store feels, from the first byte the server ships to the last script the browser runs, then prove each gain against Core Web Vitals.
Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce? Your edition changes how we make it fast.
The two editions share a core, but the performance tooling around them is different, and that decides where the speed work happens. Adobe Commerce, especially on the Cloud, hands you Fastly and a managed stack out of the box. Magento Open Source gives you full control of the server and the cache layer to configure yourself. Here is how each one shapes the engagement.
Open Source ships without a bundled CDN or full-page cache, so the speed comes from the stack you build and tune. We configure Varnish as the full-page cache, set up Redis for cache and sessions, and tune the web server, PHP, MySQL, and Elasticsearch directly. You hold full control of the infrastructure, which means more knobs to turn and more room to optimize, but also more that has to be configured correctly. It is the right fit when you want to own the hosting and the architecture, and you have a senior team to keep the stack tuned as the catalog and traffic grow.
- You self-host and want full control of the stack
- You are comfortable running Varnish and Redis yourself
- Budget matters more than a managed, hands-off platform
Adobe Commerce adds native performance tooling, and on Adobe Commerce Cloud that means Fastly built in as the CDN and full-page cache, plus a managed infrastructure footprint and a deploy pipeline. The speed work shifts toward Fastly VCL, cache strategy, and getting the most from the resources the plan provides, rather than standing up your own cache layer. You trade some low-level control for a hardened, supported stack. It is the right fit when you want Adobe to carry the platform and infrastructure while we tune the performance on top of it.
- You run, or are moving to, Adobe Commerce Cloud
- You want Fastly and a managed stack out of the box
- Enterprise support and B2B features are on the table

Proof behind the partnership, not just a pitch.
A few of the stores our senior team has shipped, scaled, and stayed on to grow.
Inyo Pools
A Hyva-themed Adobe Commerce storefront for a high-traffic pool and spa parts retailer.
Penn State
A multi-store Adobe Commerce build for Penn State Extension, serving learners across 67 counties.
BinMaster
An Adobe Commerce rebuild for a global level-measurement manufacturer, with a modernized storefront and integrations.
A faster store from a team that has to stand behind the numbers.
Speed work is only worth it if the gains are real and they last. We are not a vendor that bolts on a cache plugin and disappears. We are senior engineers who tune, build, and run Adobe Commerce stores every day, so the fixes come from people who know what actually moves Core Web Vitals.
Adobe-certified engineers, not a plugin
The people tuning your store are Adobe-certified Magento engineers who ship and scale Adobe Commerce for a living. Speed comes from fixing root causes in the stack, not from installing one more optimization extension and hoping.
Core Web Vitals are the scoreboard
We measure with field data and lab data, fix the front-end and back-end causes behind LCP, INP, and CLS, then re-measure. You get passing thresholds and the conversion lift a faster store earns, not a one-time score that drifts.
Every layer, from TTFB to the front-end
Cache, Redis, the database, Elasticsearch, images, JavaScript, CSS, and the theme all decide how fast the store feels. We work the whole stack, so we fix the real bottleneck instead of the easy one.
Gains that hold after we leave
We document what we changed and set up monitoring so a future deploy or a heavy extension cannot silently undo the work. The store stays fast, and you own the report and the plan with no lock-in.
From a baseline to passing Core Web Vitals, in two to four weeks.
Measure
We baseline the store with field and lab data, profile server response and the front-end, and pinpoint the slow queries, cache misses, and heavy scripts that decide how the page actually feels.
Fix the back end
We tune full-page cache with Fastly or Varnish, configure Redis for cache and sessions, fix indexing, and tune Elasticsearch and MySQL, so the server ships the first byte fast and stays fast at scale.
Fix the front end
We optimize images, defer and split JavaScript, cut render-blocking CSS, and, where the theme is the ceiling, move to Hyva or a headless build, so the page draws quickly on a real phone.
Verify & protect
We re-measure against Core Web Vitals to prove the gains, then set up monitoring and document the changes so the speed holds through future releases instead of decaying release after release.
What merchants ask before a speed optimization engagement.
The questions we hear most before the performance work starts. If yours isn't here, just ask.
What does Adobe Commerce speed optimization involve?
It is a senior performance engagement that targets every layer that decides how fast your store feels: server response and TTFB, full-page cache with Fastly and Varnish, Redis for cache and sessions, image and JS/CSS delivery, the front-end theme, and Elasticsearch and MySQL tuning. We measure the store, fix the real bottlenecks, and verify the gains against Core Web Vitals.
Will this fix my Core Web Vitals?
That is the goal. We treat Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift as the scoreboard, not vanity scores. We work both field data and lab data, fix the front-end and back-end causes behind each metric, and re-measure so you can see passing thresholds and the conversion lift that follows a faster store.
How do you reduce TTFB and server response time?
We profile what the server is doing before the first byte ships: full-page cache hit rate, Redis configuration, slow database queries, heavy plugins running on every request, and uncached blocks. On Adobe Commerce Cloud we tune Fastly; on self-hosted Magento we tune Varnish. Then we cut the work that does not need to happen on every page load.
Do I need Hyva or a headless front-end to be fast?
Not always. Many stores get most of the win from cache, Redis, image, and back-end work on the theme they already run. But the default Luma front-end ships a lot of JavaScript, and when the front-end is the ceiling we will recommend a Hyva theme or a headless build, with an honest read on the cost and the payback before you commit.
Does Adobe Commerce Cloud change how you optimize?
Yes. On Adobe Commerce Cloud you get Fastly as the CDN and full-page cache layer, a fixed infrastructure footprint, and a managed deploy pipeline, so the work centers on Fastly VCL, cache strategy, and making the most of the resources the plan gives you. On self-hosted Magento Open Source we have more control over the stack and tune Varnish, Redis, and the servers directly.
How fast will we see results, and is the work permanent?
Most engagements deliver measurable speed gains inside two to four weeks, with the highest-impact cache and back-end fixes landing first. The gains last because we fix root causes and document what we changed, and because we set up monitoring so a future deploy or a heavy extension cannot quietly undo the work.
