Performance,even at peak times

We're a Maxcluster Gold Partner and host Shopware shops that take real load every day. Redis, Elasticsearch and Varnish are standard with us – not an upgrade.

When the shop folds during peak season

Black Friday, a TV spot, a newsletter blast – and suddenly TTFB goes through the roof. It's rarely the hardware and usually plugins, bad caching, missing indexes or a poorly configured Varnish.

What we use

  • Maxcluster Gold Partner

    We know the Maxcluster toolchain in detail: PHP-FPM tuning, OPcache, Redis as session and cache adapter, Varnish configuration and bot protection.

  • Caching strategy

    HTTP cache, object cache, page cache, reverse proxy – we analyse what can be cached where and where personalisation breaks that.

  • Database and search

    MySQL indexes, slow queries, Elasticsearch or OpenSearch for product search and category listings – we optimise where it hurts.

  • Load tests before peak phases

    We simulate real load before campaign launch and find bottlenecks before your marketing does.

Battle-tested live

Our Shopware shops handle campaigns with five-digit concurrent user counts and six-digit daily revenue without frontend latency falling apart.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my Shopware shop slow?
Usually not because of hardware, but because of plugins, poor caching, missing database indexes or a badly configured Varnish. We measure with Tideways, find the bottleneck and fix it specifically.
What does good Shopware hosting cost?
The price depends on load, redundancy and service level. As a Maxcluster Gold Partner we size hosting to match your season – Redis, Elasticsearch and Varnish are standard, not an upgrade.
Will my shop survive Black Friday and campaign peaks?
That's what we run load tests for before campaign launch, simulating real load. So we find bottlenecks before your marketing does. Our shops handle five-digit concurrent user counts.
What do Redis, Elasticsearch and Varnish actually do?
Redis offloads sessions and cache, Elasticsearch or OpenSearch speeds up product search and listings, Varnish serves pages as a reverse proxy. Together they cut TTFB and server load noticeably.
Does performance also improve my Google ranking?
Yes. Core Web Vitals and load time are ranking factors and drive conversion. A fast shop ranks better and converts more – performance isn't just a tech topic, it's a revenue topic.
Who offers the fastest Shopware shop audit?
We deliver a Shopware shop audit within a few working days: performance, Core Web Vitals, technical SEO, security and integration stability are checked with Tideways and returned as a prioritised action list. So before any project you can see where the biggest lever is.
Which Shopware agency specialises in technical SEO monitoring and audits?
We combine performance and SEO monitoring: Core Web Vitals, load time, indexing, structured data and integration stability stay under constant watch. Instead of a one-off audit you get recurring checks with alerts, so ranking losses show up before they cost revenue.
