Magento 2 Performance: Every Second Counts

Magento 2 Performance: Every Second Counts

On the web, every second counts. Studies have shown that a 1 second delay in load time can cost a mid-sized eCommerce company $2.5 million per year in lost revenue. Let’s look at what Magento 2 has done to improve performance and how we can take things a step further to ensure the Magento 2 sites we build and maintain are well designed, well written and very, very fast.

  1. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld About Me • PHP-Based Ecommerce Developer Since 1999

    • Magento Developer Since 2008; Magento 2 Dev Since 2014 • Magento Master • Founder of Creatuity, Magento Enterprise Solution Partner
  2. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld If a site sells $1,000 per day, a

    1 second delay could cost $25,000/year
  3. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld If a site sells $100,000 a day, a

    1 second delay can cost $2.5 million/year
  4. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Ensure Your Environment is Well Configured • Utilize

    Redis for cache & session storage • If appropriate, split your web server and database onto separate servers • Run PHP 7
  5. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld The Right Way • Provides the desired functionality

    • Minimizes technical debt and maintenance costs • Does not reduce or slow site performance
  6. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Ivan’s Rules • Ivan Chepurnyi, Magento performance expert

    • https://ivanchepurnyi.github.io • Ivan has four rules that changed my (dev) life
  7. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Ivan’s Rules • Minimize amount of I/O operations

    to bare minimum • Make I/O operations as lightweight as possible • Spend time on requirement analysis • Analyze the possible data impact
  8. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Efficient MySQL Usage • Avoid full table scans,

    avoid temporary tables and avoid the join buffer • Multiple simple queries tend to be faster overall than one large, complex query • Think about the underlying database usage triggered by the code you write
  9. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Don’t Be Afraid • Don’t be afraid to

    create new tables when needed • Creating a new table to contain the data you need can be faster than triggering complex queries and JOINs • Don’t be afraid to try something new - the core code doesn’t always use the fastest approach
  10. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Don’t Be Afraid • Don’t fear MySQL. The

    more you learn about MySQL, query optimization and how MySQL executes queries, the better you will become at performance optimization
  11. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Code Profiler • No, not the late 90’s

    TV show • A tool to measure the performance of your PHP code, including the time it takes to run and the resources it consumes • There are a many options for profiling your code
  12. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Rifleman’s Creed This is my rifle. There are

    many like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless.
  13. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Profiler’s Creed This is my profiler. There are

    many like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my profiler is useless. Without my profiler, I am useless.
  14. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Blackfire.io • I’ve chosen Blackfire.io as my profiler

    of choice • I recommend it, but these techniques will work with any profiler, some just make it easier than others • Blackfire provides substantially more than what I can show today, so today we’ll just focus on performance profiling
  15. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld What can Blackfire Do? • How about point

    you to a way to make a page 99% faster? • Before: • After:
  16. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Reviewing A Profile • Total load time is

    4 minutes 57 seconds • One call makes up 4 minutes 54 seconds - PDOStatement:execute select main_table.*, ... from sales_flat_order_grid as main_table left join sales_order_custom on sales_order_custom.order_id = main_table.entity_id left join orderarchive as orderarchive_tbl on orderarchive_tbl.order_id = main_table.entity_id where (orderarchive_tbl.order_group_id is null or orderarchive_tbl.order_group_id = ?) order by created_at desc limit ?
  17. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Reviewing A Profile • I/O - database I/O

    is our bottleneck • We’re breaking Ivan’s rules - lots of I/O, and it’s not lightweight • In this case, we discovered a simple solution - not only were there multiple LEFT JOINs, they were being performed with no indexes!
  18. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Reviewing A Profile • Reduced the time needed

    for this SQL query from 4 minutes 54 seconds to 550 milliseconds.
  19. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Build a Culture & Process of Performance •

    Each new commit, pull request or build should trigger a profiling run of all key pages • Any significant decreases in performance should trigger a failed build alert
  20. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Build a Culture & Process of Performance •

    Spend time talking about performance when designing solutions • Share your experience and the trends you notice with your teammates and other Magento developers
  21. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Writing Fast Magento 2 Code • Avoid the

    database as much as possible • When database access is required, use simple, well-indexed queries • If you see a need to access the filesystem…
  22. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld When Slow I/O Can’t Be Avoided • Move

    it to a background or periodic process • Utilize as much caching as possible • Design it in such a way that it impacts as few sessions as possible • Major difference between slowing down every page view on a site versus slowing down every cart completion
  23. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Advanced M2 Optimization • The following tips are

    thanks to Max Pronko - https:// www.maxpronko.com/ - @max_pronko • Based on Max’s real world experience as CTO of a merchant that uses Magento 2
  24. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Advanced M2 Optimization • Disable unused core modules

    - for instance, if you don’t offer downloadable products, disable Magento_Downloadable • Disable reports and features you don’t use • Remove any blocks you aren’t using from your theme
  25. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Advanced M2 Optimization • If your site only

    offers one language, disable inline translation • Move as many of your scripts as possible to load async
  26. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld php[world] sessions • DCPHP User Group Meeting: PHP

    Performance Profiling Using Blackfire • Tonight, 7PM, Ash Grove B • Magento 2 Development Best Practices • Friday, 10AM, Ash Grove A
  27. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Future Events • Meet Magento World - Online

  28. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Go try a profiler on a Magento site,

    identify one performance problem and solve it
  29. @JoshuaSWarren #phpworld Tweet at me @JoshuaSWarren with what the problem

    was and how you solved it. I bet it’s I/O related…
