Does Loading More Product Blocks Affect Page Load Speed?
Adding product suggestion blocks to your store's front office enhances customer engagement and sales. However, displaying multiple product blocks can sometimes impact your website's loading speed, leading to longer wait times for your customers.
To address this, Cross Selling Pro includes a smart cache feature that ensures optimal page performance while delivering an enhanced shopping experience.
Why enable smart cache?
- Faster page load speed: Reduce the time it takes for your pages to display fully.
- Improved user experience: Customers enjoy seamless browsing without unnecessary delays.
- Efficient resource management: Minimizes the impact of additional product blocks on your server.
How to enable the smart cache feature
Follow these steps to optimize your page load speed:
Step 1: Access the module configuration
Log in to your PrestaShop back office.
