A marketplace can have hundreds of thousands and even millions of products. For example, Amazon offers 480 million products in the US only. Daily visitors exceed 6 million. ShopClues, which is based on CS-Cart Multi-Vendor, has 53 million products. This is a huge load on the website and the servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re researching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/how-to-create-an-ecommerce-marketplace-from-scratch\/\" title=\"\">how to start an online marketplace<\/a> and planning to go big, you need to make sure your marketplace <strong>will not slow down and crash<\/strong> because of the large number of products and simultaneous visitors. That\u2019s where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/several-server-tweaks-and-recommendations-to-get-maximum-speed-out-of-cs-cart-and-multi-vendor\/\" title=\"\">CS-Cart speed optimization<\/a> comes into play\u2014it ensures your marketplace runs smoothly under heavy traffic and large catalogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what the <b><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cs-cart.com\/latest\/user_guide\/addons\/full_page_cache\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marketplace Performance Booster<\/a><\/b> does\u2014increases your marketplace speed and stamina. With the Performance Booster, you won\u2019t need an expensive server to run your high-load marketplace on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the Marketplace Performance Booster Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The boost is achieved through full-page caching. It <a href=\"https:\/\/simtechdev.com\/blog\/how-to-speed-up-site-load-speed-top-5-hints\/\" title=\"\">speed up page loading<\/a> in the first and repeated visits <b>up to 25 times<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the first customer opens a marketplace page, Multi-Vendor stores that page into memory. When the next customers open the same page, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs-cart.com\/multivendor\" title=\"\">Multi-Vendor<\/a> quickly retrieves it from memory. So, these customers get this page quickly even on their first visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We deployed <a href=\"https:\/\/highload.demo.cs-cart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a high-load online demo<\/a>, which has <b>200,000 products<\/b>, <b>11,000 features<\/b>, and <b>1,000 categories with product filters<\/b>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hl-demo.png?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For this demo, we used a dedicated server with quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and 64GB DDR4 RAM for \u20ac39\/month. We tested the demo via <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/yandex\/yandex-tank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yandex.Tank<\/a>, which checks how many transactions per second a store can handle. Check the results below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #f9cb9c; background: #ffe599; text-align: left;\">A transaction starts when a user clicks the link or searches for a product and ends when the user sees the page or product search results. The more transactions a marketplace can handle\u2014the better.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/graph-example-2@2x.png?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from the testing results, a properly configured Multi-Vendor marketplace with the Performance Booster can handle <b>980 transactions per second, which means <\/b><b>8,762,400 transactions not from cache<\/b> and <b>75,772,800 transactions from cache<\/b> per 24 hours. On a more powerful server, the number of transactions can dramatically increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tpsper24_RET1.png?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cs-cart.com\/latest\/user_guide\/addons\/full_page_cache\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The add-on is available on the CS-Cart Marketplace<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
