New Edgemesh Server solution offers modern performance gains within minutes, without the cost, risk and lengthy timeline of a headless commerce migration
LAGUNA BEACH, CA., Aug. 10, 2021 – Edgemesh, provider of an AI platform that delivers the fastest online web experiences, today announced the launch of Edgemesh Server to enable one-click headless performance for ecommerce websites. The seamless web acceleration solution provides the performance of headless-style deployments with zero developer effort, eliminating the high cost, risk, and unpredictable developer timeline that plagues headless commerce migrations.
The spike in online shopping due to the pandemic has made it critical for ecommerce companies to provide richer, more immersive user experiences and faster websites. This has driven to the increased adoption of “headless” commerce – a complex rebuilding of an ecommerce storefront from the ground up to deliver faster shopping experiences. However, the complexity and cost associated with this transition can be immense. According to research by Vanson Bourne, organizations spent an average $2.6 million on implementing a headless architecture. In the same survey, 68% of respondents required outside developer help to aid in the headless transition.
“Companies are racing to improve their web performance to more easily retain and convert customers, but going headless is a massive gamble for even established ecommerce sites,” said Jacob Loveless, CEO and co-founder of Edgemesh. “Edgemesh Server gives customers the performance benefits of headless, such as enhanced speed and a more immersive user experience, without all the complexities and unknowns. It enables customers to add new, more modern pages with edge routing as they expand. We’re excited to provide a cost-effective and faster solution to help our clients grow their businesses without risking it.”
Edgemesh Server is a real-time edge rendering solution that makes any website backend, such as Shopify, Magento, SAP Hybris or WordPress, render and deliver more quickly. Unlike complex headless projects that require rebuilding the existing site, Edgemesh Server is fully automated and takes only minutes to set up, with zero developer support. It enables ecommerce brands to have headless performance and flexibility without the headache.
“We upgraded to Edgemesh Server for our Shopify store in a span of just a few minutes,” said Andrew McLaughlin, director of ecommerce at Peacock Alley. “Within days, we saw our site’s Time to Interactive drop by 37%, our Time to First byte drop 70% and our server request times decrease by 81%. The move was simple and we can keep our workflow exactly the same as before. It’s just simply faster.” Peacock Alley is a national luxury linen retailer, with almost 50 years of experience.”
Edgemesh Server product benefits include:
- A seamless integration process that works with the existing platform and takes only minutes to set up, unlike the month-long process of traditional headless implementations.
- Significant performance improvements, including enabling 4x faster site speed and a significant decrease in server response times for an accelerated customer experience.
- Enables complete control over the user experience and flexibility to extend beyond the current platform’s limitations, with the ability to add additional pages such as JAMStack, React and Next.js.
- Enterprise grade user experience extensions like A/B testing, personalization and Bot protection that enhances any platform without requiring a complete design.
