PrestaShop Gets Online Stores Up to Speed With A2 Hosting
Miami, FL (PRWEB) October 30, 2013 -- PrestaShop, the worldwide leader in e-commerce solutions powering over 150,000 online stores in over 150 countries, is thrilled with the exceptional service A2 Hosting is providing PrestaShop merchants after forming a partnership with the premier hosting provider earlier this year.
PrestaShop users around the world have gained another paramount competitive advantage with the boost of the highest site speeds in the industry from A2 Hosting. Today’s modern consumers are busy individuals with high expectations for shopping online, which means online merchants need a hosting provider that can deliver the fast speeds online shoppers expect. A2 Hosting tested their high speed performance for PrestaShop against their competitors and topped the charts. According to their SSD performance tests, PrestaShop pages load up to 300% faster when hosted on the SSD drive as compared to a normal hard drive. Read more about their high speed testing here.
“Today’s online stores have to optimize their site speeds to keep up with increasingly impatient customers. A slow loading online store will lose customers and sales to its competitors. PrestaShop merchants are capturing even the busiest customers with the lightning-fast speeds available with A2 Hosting. Our PrestaShop users are some of the most successful online merchants in the world and we will continue to provide them with innovative technology to ensure their future success and profitability,” said Benjamin Utterback, PrestaShop Community Manager.
