Why you should use Cloudflare with your Web to Print?

The number of visitors to your website may suffer significantly from a slow loading time. In fact, as per a Google report, 53% of visitors are likely to quit your site if it takes your pages more than 3 seconds to load.

In addition, it is commonly recognized that a slow website will hurt your site's SEO ranking.

Both SEO and conversion rate are impacted by page speed. Enhancing it can help in boosting a page's conversion rate as well as its overall traffic.

Nowadays, having a fast website is essential in providing customers with a seamless online experience, particularly for print eCommerce stores that require faster loading times. To achieve this, OnPrintShop has incorporated Cloudflare, a powerful CDN network that maximizes website loading speed and enhances user experience.

How does Cloudflare Integration work?

OnPrintShop seamlessly integrates with Cloudflare to provide their customers with a better user experience while protecting their data and ensuring the platform remains online and accessible.

With Cloudflare Integration, Static content of your website such as images, stylesheets, and scripts are cached on 275 servers all over the world. Once visitors visit your site, the content they access is loaded from the server closest to the visitor's device. As mobile access becomes more prevalent, this will result in speedier load times, which could spell the difference between success and failure.

By Integrating Cloudflare into OnPrintShop, our customer has seen a significant increase in page loading speed, and their Google Page Speed Score went from 43 to 83.

After making any changes to your website, clearing all your cache files is necessary to eliminate irregularities in the website content. After the integration, the Cache stored on the OnPrintShop server and Cloudflare's server is cleared with a single click.
