Preserving Magento Performance & Assets
Performance issues often arise when adding customisations or additional features to a Magento store. The Companion Site operates independently, preventing performance bottlenecks while ensuring that your Magento assets remain untouched and fully optimised. This separation not only preserves performance but also reduces ongoing costs associated with troubleshooting and maintaining a heavily customised Magento system.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Unlike most Magento add-ons, The Companion Site has minimal dependencies. By relying primarily on CORS and GraphQL, it significantly reduces complexity. Updates and troubleshooting become far less time-consuming, translating to lower maintenance costs and a more efficient system.
Security Without Compromise
Magento’s security framework is one of the most robust in the world, refined over decades and trusted by thousands of store owners. The Companion Site relies on a single security feature—CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)—ensuring that your Magento site remains secure while sharing only the essential data needed to power The Companion Site. This approach reduces the attack surface while maintaining Magento’s built-in security strengths.
Staying Up to Date with Ease
When using Magento modules, store owners frequently need to schedule module upgrades, security patches, and theme customisations to ensure compatibility with evolving web technologies like HTML, CSS, and Magento updates. The Companion Site’s lightweight, data-agnostic architecture eliminates the need for these frequent upgrades, making it easy to stay up to date without the hassle.
Third-Party Extension Compatibility
At the same time, unlike complex module-based integrations, The Companion Site does not require navigating intricate settings or managing tangled systems that demand expert knowledge. Instead, it streamlines processes, ensuring a smooth experience without unnecessary complexity.
Because The Companion Site is decoupled from Magento, it has no dependencies that are beyond your control. While every system can face occasional bottlenecks or necessary adjustments, The Companion Site leverages modern technologies with strong community support, ensuring compatibility issues are quickly addressed.
