Make Your Move at the Right Timez! Magento 1 to Magento 2

Magento is the most popular eCommerce platform available with lots of functions as well as customizations. It is an open-source CMS that helps the owners to expand their business easily. This platform is very helpful to boost business sales as well as to increase the revenue. It’s a flexible platform and has great security.

Why Migrate to Magento 2?

Why do you shift from the primary section to the secondary section? Why do you shift from school to college? It is because we get ourselves updated. In the same manner, to get updated with the technology you have to update to Magento 2 from Magento 1.

Magento 1 has stopped giving new features and customizations. Magento 1.x support will stop super soon. There is no more improvement for Magento 1.x version. Now it is difficult to get new extensions of Magento 1 as well as support in the old extensions. Magento 1 is well-known for lacking the loading speed of your website. Even if you find many ways to speed up your Magento store, you will fail to improve the page load time.

Online merchants have a flexible shopping cart system and can also change and customize the look of their eCommerce store as per their own choice. Magento 2 has come up with lots of features. It has a user-friendly checkout, easy admin interface, improved performance and scalability, Better UI and UX and lots of other as well. It has the most popular online payment options added in Magento 2.

Risk if you remain on Magento 1

Many stores have already migrated and we are near to the "End life of Magento 1". All the support for Magento 1 will come to an end after June 2020. Magento 1 is now obsolete with poor features and Magento 2 delivers much better design, performance and user experience than Magento 1. You can be left behind by your competitors without Magento migration

The Best Time to Move?

There is no perfect answer to this. If your Magento 1 is not facing any type of issue and your store is working well, then don’t have to worry about rushing immediately but you can plan to move super soon as the process also takes some time.

If your Magento 1 store is not working smoothly and facing so many errors and problematic features, then it is not advisable to continue investing in that. You should immediately migrate to Magento 2.
