scandiweb has open- designed to help retailers speed up existing Magento stores without moving to Shopify
Expedio changes how Magento builds storefront pages on the server and uses Liquid, the open-e is built for stores running Hyvä, while cart and checkout remain on Magento
The launch targets a pressure point in the <a s Magento ecosystem to Shopify can instead use Expedio to improve performance while keeping their existing store design, admin systems, catalogue and data, scandiweb said.
Magento has lost more than a third of its live stores since 2022 the company said. It argued that replacing an established <a s Magento store showed Expedio responded at least twice as fast on every page type tested at peak traffic and 6.4 times faster at the median, scandiweb said. With all caches emptied, category pages responded 3.2 times faster, it added.
The figures were based on one merchant store, and results will depend on each store’s implementation and hardware. Even so, the performance claims address a longstanding concern among Magento users over speed and infrastructure demands.
Support options
scandiweb also tied the release to Ari, a chat-based tool it describes as the first agent for Magento. Teams can connect a store to Ari and ask it through chat to set up Expedio on a copy of the store before any changes go live, the company said.
The <a s Magento platform since its launch in 2008 and has delivered more than 2,100 eCommerce projects for brands including PUMA, The New York Times and Samsung, according to scandiweb.
scandiweb said it has more than 600 specialists and 894 Adobe certifications, and that stores it supports process more than USD $4 billion in sales each year. Those figures underline the scale of its presence in a market where agencies often play a central role in implementation, maintenance and performance tuning.
Expedio’s use of Liquid is also notable because it brings an architectural element closely associated with Shopify into the Magento ecosystem. That may draw interest from developers who want a different approach to storefront performance without abandoning Adobe Commerce or Magento Open
For Magento merchants, the practical question will be whether open-less disruptive answer than a full migration. “We’ve spent years making Magento faster for our own clients. Now any Magento store can have it,” said Antons Sapriko, Executive Chairman, scandiweb
