Shopware 6 Performance

Shopware 6 performance,
measured first

A slow store usually has one layer that's slower than the rest. We find it with numbers, fix it, and hand you the before and after. Cache, queue, database, search and frontend, on Shopware 6.6 and 6.7.

What we fix

Six places where
Shopware slows down

Frontend and Core Web Vitals

Heavy themes, oversized images and render-blocking scripts, measured against field data from real visitors.

HTTP cache

Pages that miss the cache when they shouldn't, invalidation that fires too often, and the reverse proxy or CDN in front of it.

Queue and workers

The message queue moved off MySQL, workers run by a process manager instead of the admin, and scheduled tasks that actually run.

Database and PHP

Slow queries traced from the log to the code that sends them, plus OPcache and Composer settings for production.

Search

Elasticsearch or OpenSearch set up so listings and search stop falling back to MySQL without telling anyone.

Imports and sync

Product imports that run in hours instead of days, with parallel batches and delta sync. One went from 33 hours to under 3.

How it works

Measure, find, fix, measure again

  1. 01

    Baseline

    We time your real pages, cached and uncached, before anything changes. That number is what the work gets judged against.

  2. 02

    Diagnose

    We check the layers in order (cache, queue, PHP and database, search, frontend) and stop at the one that's slow.

  3. 03

    Fix

    The fix goes where the cause is: configuration, a plugin, a query, or the hosting setup.

  4. 04

    Verify

    The same baseline runs again, and you get the before and after in writing.
