Running a successful eCommerce business is all about speed and conversions. Website sluggishness can be the kiss of death for conversions.
We understand that a fast-loading storefront is crucial for a seamless customer experience. We've been actively listening to your feedback and have been working diligently to improve the Boost app's Frontend Library (Fe Lib).
We're thrilled to announce the release of the latest version of our Fe Lib, TURBO, which significantly enhances your storefront's loading speed. This major update addresses your requests for improved performance and delivers a lightning-fast experience for your customers.
Now, let's meet TURBO, our latest feature in the Boost app, and its new advantages: improved storefront performance in page speed loading, visual customization, ultimately leading to a better customer shopping experience.
TURBO isn't just a new name - it's here to supercharge your user experience with much faster performance and a sleek interface.
Technically, TURBO is the latest version of Boost's Fe Lib, which determines how our app renders the user interface (UI). It will dictate the appearance of our app and how it integrates with customers' stores.
The name “TURBO” is an acronym that captures the essence of what this latest version of Boost's Fe Lib aims to achieve:
TURBO works behind the scenes to make your online store stand out and load within seconds. Here's the secret sauce: it uses a special technique called "server-side rendering" (SSR).
Sound not so familiar? Imagine your store as a movie - with SSR, the entire movie gets pre-rendered on a powerful server before anyone clicks play. This way, your storefront loads much faster for your customers, just like an instantly streaming movie. Not only does this keep your visitors happy, but it also helps your store rank higher in search results - a win-win!
Another cool thing about TURBO is that it uses the same coding language as Shopify itself (called liquid template syntax). Think of it as using familiar building blocks to create your store. This makes customizing your storefront easier than ever before, even for those who aren't coding wizards.
So, with TURBO, you get a blazing fast store that's easy to personalize - pretty neat, right?
TURBO is designed to make building and managing your online store easier, faster, and more fun. It's like hitting the "turbo boost" button on your storefront, giving it the power to shine!
Ultimately, TURBO empowers you to create a high-performance storefront that keeps customers engaged and coming back for more.
