• Improved speed and performance - New versions of PrestaShop are optimized for loading speed.
• Improved security - The latest updates protect against vulnerabilities and hacking attacks.
• New functionalities - Ability to use the latest modules and integrations.
• Better mobile compatibility - Modern versions improve the UX and responsiveness of the store.

A store update does not include improvements and fixes related to technical SEO and performance - an update may not speed up a store that has bugs and has never been optimized.

For maximum results, we encourage you to take a look at PrestaShop Store Optimization services, which, along with the updated version of your store, guarantee maximum speed improvements and performance scores in performance tests such as Google Page Speed, GTMetrix, Lighthouse, Search Console, etc.

Preparation and optimization of a new server

🛒 Buy server preparation service.

We have been developing the server preparation, configuration and optimization service for PrestaShop store since 2015. During this time, we have checked and tested many server platforms from Poland and abroad and selected the optimal components and parameters that will accelerate your work and increase the throughput of your store.

• The configuration is based on Linux or CloudLinux, and for convenient management of the basic parameters of the server we install the Plesk panel.
• The service includes the implementation of a free SSL certificate and CloudFlare integration.

Operating environment: DEV + GIT

🛒 Buy preparing your working environment

If you are working with one or more developers, we recommend implementing GIT version control and code collaboration. This option will work perfectly in tandem with a Docker virtualization environment.

PrestaShop Backup Pro

🛒 Buy an automatic backup system

Backups of the production store files and database are made regularly on a separate server - this can be a regular FTP server.

• Password-protected compressed archives are created.
• The created archives are sent to external servers.
• Old archives are automatically deleted.

PrestaShop upgrade - price

The price of updating a PrestaShop store depends on technical and design factors. The output version of the system, the level of complexity of the work and the extent of the necessary modifications are important.

In the case of an update within the same version (e.g. 1.7.6 → 1.7.8), the cost will be the resultant 1-3 days of work (trial, testing, corrections and implementation into production). The price of PrestaShop updates is often determined individually based on the analysis of the source code and the current state of the site.

Why should you entrust us to update PrestaShop?

Updating an online store requires technical expertise and experience working with the entire PrestaShop ecosystem - from the engine, modules and templates to the server infrastructure and eCommerce strategy. That's why we offer much more than a one-time implementation service.

Behind every update and implementation is a multi-person team of specialists: developers, DevOps, business analysts, project managers and UX/UI designers. As a result, we are able to identify potential risks even before the work begins, to ensure the continuity of the store even during complex operations.

PrestaShop upgrade - FAQ

• Does the update also include performance optimization?

No, but an update can be a good time to plan for it. A new version of PrestaShop is often faster and safer, but if the store was previously poorly optimized (e.g. overloaded code, incorrect server configuration, too many heavy modules), an upgrade alone will not solve performance problems. In such cases, we recommend a PrestaShop optimization service, implemented in parallel or right after the update.

• Can I choose only certain elements to update?

We determine the scope of PrestaShop updates together. In some cases, it is possible to perform only part of the work, such as upgrading the PHP version or updating the modules themselves. However, we recommend performing full system updates comprehensively to ensure full consistency and stability of the store.

If you have a store on PrestaShop, upgrading from PrestaShow is the best decision.
