Merchant Story: ALDO Shoes
ALDO Shoes is a fashion brand focused on offering stylish footwear, handbags, and accessories for modern shoppers.
The brand curates collections for customers looking for trend-driven fashion with comfort and everyday versatility.
With a strong focus on style and customer experience, ALDO delivers products that feel modern, accessible, and easy to wear.
The brand decided to improve its store by storing media on Amazon S3, helping pages load faster and handle traffic more efficiently.
To make this possible, they partnered with a professional Magento Development Agency to implement the Adobe Commerce solution.
ALDO Shoes Challenge: Optimizing Site Performance and Media Storage for Scalability
ALDO Shoes experienced slower Magento 2 store performance due to a large volume of product images, banners, and media assets.
This media-heavy setup reduced page speed, leading to slower browsing and product discovery for shoppers.
To improve this, the brand chose to store its media files on Amazon S3 cloud storage.
By offloading media from the main server, the store achieved faster load times and a smoother shopping experience.
To implement this setup, they needed a dependable Magento 2 and Amazon S3 integration, so they partnered with Webkul.
This case study highlights how Webkul helped them to improve store performance with a scalable media storage using Webkul’s E-commerce Solutions.
How Webkul Helped ALDO Shoes Boost Magento 2 Store Performance with Amazon S3
Amazon S3 Extension for Magento 2 enables you to store and serve media files through Amazon S3 for more reliable performance.
ALDO Shoes used this extension to transfer product images, banners, and static media files to Amazon S3.
The setup also leverages CloudFront URLs, allowing faster media delivery and better traffic handling without slowing down the store.
The image below shows a product featured on the ALDO Shoes website.
When the product image is opened in a new tab, its URL can be seen loading directly using Amazon CloudFront URL.
Let’s take another product image from the website as an example.
As shown below, this image URL is also being served directly using Amazon CloudFront URL.
By moving media storage to Amazon S3, they improved store speed, lowered server load, and created a smoother shopping experience.
Hiring Magento Developers helped them strengthen their online sales strategy and improve operational efficiency.
