What Challenges did Rhonadis face?

Rhonadis faced challenges in managing the performance of e-commerce website due to the large size of its product catalog. Consequently, their website became less responsive.

The products(consisting of downloadable, and other) listed on their server had multiple product images and videos that consumed significant server space and slowed down its website performance.

Because of the slow performance of their e-commerce platform, their customers were facing issues accessing their website and checking for other alternatives.

Therefore, they were looking for a cloud storage solution that could help them store their product images, videos, and static content(HTML, CSS, JS) over cloud storage.

By storing their product images and videos in cloud storage, they freed up space on their server, which led to an increase in the performance of their e-commerce platform.

They wanted a solution that could help them overcome this problem, so they contacted Webkul via UVdesk ticket support.

In this case study we’ll see the solution that Webkul provided to overcome Rhonadis business challenges.

Solution:

Amazon Simple Storage Service

Magento 2 Amazon S3 Extension allows Rhonadis to upload their Magento 2 product media files along with static content to the Amazon S3 cloud storage service offered by AWS cloud.

So, the website’s admin uploads media files of the product from its local disk to the Amazon S3 server.

For all available product types in the Magento 2 store, the extension supports media files (product images, videos) and also supports static content.

For storing the files this module uses Amazon S3 and for serving the content CloudFront URL it uses the CloudFront.

As a result, customers will experience faster site or page loads and can handle high traffic.

This module offloads the Rhonadis website server, freeing it from data load.

This improves site loading performance by quickly fetching and delivering data from the Amazon S3 server.

Below is an example of one of the products from the Rhonadis Website.

If we open the product image in a new tab, we can see that the image URL link comes from the AWS S3 Server.

Let’s take any another picture from their website.

Here also the image URL link is coming from the Amazon S3 Server.
