The challenge
Where They Started

- Tag-based purging as standard
- ESI hole-punching and private per-user cache
- Simple, rule-based configuration
The story
What Happened
Greek retailer Izy Shoes runs a multi-store Magento shop with 3,000 products. Its previous full-page cache needed a four-hour warm-up crawl that pushed CPU close to 100%, and it could not purge selectively.
Their host ProperHost installed LiteMage. With the same configuration, average response time dropped to 0.12 seconds — a 93.5% reduction and more than 15× faster than before.
Server environment: Magento 1.9.2.2, multi-store with 3 views, ~40,000 visitors / 230,000 page views per month.
