AI makes it possible to produce code faster than ever, but more code does not automatically mean more value. What AI really does is amplify the skill and judgement already present in the person or team using it.

Syncing data between your e-commerce system and your search engine is something every e-commerce operator faces when they want an external search engine like Algolia, Voyado Elevate, Loop 54 or similar. In this article we walk through how to build that sync using Commerce Mind's tool Nexus.

Interest in composable and headless architecture for e-commerce solutions has grown enormously in recent years.

Keeping accurate stock levels for your items across all systems is a harder problem than it might first appear. How much revenue are you losing because you do not dare trust your own stock levels and always keep a buffer to be on the safe side?
Everyone knows that performance and site speed matter for e-commerce. How do you measure performance? Is Google PageSpeed really a good way to measure performance? This article walks through the difference between PageSpeed score and perceived performance, and why both matter.
Choosing an e-commerce system is something you end up doing surprisingly often as a successful e-commerce operator. You start with a simple system that you outgrow. You switch, some things get better, some get worse. A few years later it is time again. But how do you choose the right one? How do you avoid buying a pig in a poke?
React is without a doubt the most popular choice among frontend frameworks. But does that mean it is the right choice for you? How much does the choice of framework really matter? What are the pros and cons? What are the alternatives?
You need to be on top of performance and technology today. Andrew Golrang is a well-known figure in the industry who helped take Cervera to new omnichannel heights and sales records. He has just changed jobs and is now Product Director at Voyado, but he remembers a Black Friday from long ago.

Getting a really high Google PageSpeed score on an e-commerce site is hard. Personalisation, plenty of content, detailed design, large images, custom fonts and third-party scripts all push the score down. So what can you do to raise your PageSpeed score anyway?
