According to Amazon, a delay of just 100 milliseconds can translate into a 1% drop in sales. Cloud systems allow you to <\/span><b>optimize page speed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, reduce bounce rate and increase customer trust in the brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By adopting the cloud, you can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">distribute content with geolocalized CDN networks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enable automatic caching systems<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduce server response times (TTFB)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monitor performance with advanced tools<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result? <\/span><b>A smoother and more engaging shopping experience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which translates into more conversions and fewer abandoned carts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Instant scalability to support growth<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most frequent challenges for those who manage an e-commerce is to deal with traffic peaks during promotional campaigns, seasonal sales or special events.
