In July 2015 when Magento launched its newest feature rich version Magento 2 with much pizzazz, everyone wanted to know if it is really faster than M1? If yes, then how much?
So the peeps at Magento chose to hold both the platforms to some hard tests. They measured the speed and capabilities of Magento 2 against Magento 1.x versions on several criteria. The results are astonishing!
Magento 2 v/s Magento 1.x: Surprising results
When the folks at Magento made Magento 1.14.2 challenge Magento 2 on various parameters, even they were surprised to see how the upgrade won hands down in case for both small as well as big e-commerce stores. The following parameters were judged:
• Catalog browsing
• Adding both a simple and configurable product to the cart
• Completing the full checkout process (all steps) as a customer
Magneto 2 strikes it big on Throughput, or the ability to process orders per hour.
Catalog Browsing by your customers is significantly faster with Magento 2. All thanks to the entirely new re-designed instant response system for cached content and the quicker generation of new pages in case of a cache miss.
And here is how M2 ranks on “server response time” when your customers add products to their cart
