Magento 2 better than Magento 1x in every way to build your eCommerce store. Hence, the whole fact sheet for Magento 2 will be the perfect answer. In order to this question, but then that would be a long list.
So I have chosen some of the most important improvements in this new series.
Figures like 50% faster load time and 38% faster check out in comparison. It shows that Magento 1 is down and Magento 2 eCommerce store is a huge leap ahead. It can now offer almost instant response times of catalog browsing with a simple hosting.
Magento 2 eCommerce store can manage 10 million catalog pages views in an hour. So comparing it with Magento 1, it does only 500,000 page views per hour. Because it supported by the Magento 1 or Magento 1.14 platform.
Magento 2 eCommerce store comes with full-page caching (FPC) and varnish native support. People have been using Varnish as an HTTP accelerator for years. But now, by default, Magento 2 eCommerce will support Varnish.
The latest admin interface has an interactive design. It is far more friendly than that of its previous generation. Due to the intuitive back-end, UI merchants can now open up the admin panel from any touch-based device.
Though the backend is not completely responsive. It is far easier to use than the previous version. You can now build custom views for orders and products by drag and drop options. Or choosing/deselecting columns in seconds.
Owing to the new modular code base of Magento 2 eCommerce store upgrades or development will be a lot faster than before. Different extensions can now co-exist in Magento without conflicting with each other.
It can use to be a major issue with a lot of extensions on the Magento 1 platform. Even maintenance is simpler now which will save both your time and money.
We’ll also see a lot of development on Magento’s analytical capabilities. It makes it quite basic in Magento 1. Also, the upgrade initiative will help you remove some unwanted extensions.
