Magento 2<\/a> is a later version, so it is obvious it will have more features, better tools, and various security updates. If you are a new customer, you must go for the new version as the support for Magento 1 is about to be over, so that it won’t receive any updates so that it won’t be a secure option.<\/p>\n

Here, the question is if you are already a Magento 1 user, then whether you should switch or not to Magento 2. So let us look at the detailed specification of both versions to decide.<\/p>\n

Architecture<\/h2>\n

\"Architecture\"<\/p>\n

The tech stack of Magento is a lot more advanced than the Magento 1; a lot of new technologies have been added like Nginx version 1.7 or higher, Symphony, Apache, Composer. So the architecture of the Magento 2 is a lot more advanced and better than Magento 1. This advancement has clearly improved the performance of the Magento 2.<\/p>\n

The details of the versions used in Magento 1 are Apache 2.x, PHP 5.5.x – 5.5.x, MySQL, Solr, HTML, JQuery (in latest themes), Zend Framework 1.<\/p>\n

Magento 2 has: Apache 2.2\/2.4, Nginx 1.7 or higher, PHP 5.6.x\/7.0.2\/7.0.6, MySQL\/MySQL Percona or higher, Varnish 3.x\/4.x, Redis 2.x\/3.x or Memcached 1.4.x,
\nSolr 4.x, HTML5, JQuery, RequireJS \/ Knockout.js, Zend Framework 1\/2, Symfony, Composer, PSR – 0\/1\/2\/3\/4<\/p>\n

Speed and Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Magento is faster in loading pages; it also has full page caching, which is a plus and improves performance. The analysis says that Magento 2 can process 39% more orders than Magento 1 at the same time. Magento 2 gives faster catalog browsing as the server responds instantly. Magento 2 gives 66% faster add-to-cart response time from the server. The checkout time for Magento 2 is 55% faster as compared to Magento 1
\nSo it is clear, in terms of performance and speed, Magento 2 is clearly a winner.<\/p>\n

Extensions<\/h2>\n

\"Extensions\"<\/p>\n

Conflicting Extension in Magento 1
\nExtension with common code, which tries to implement the same functionality, creates an issue. Which used to be solved manually, but this is time-consuming and expensive.
\nMagento 2 solved this issue by allowing the conflicting code to overlap, thus preventing any errors. In addition, Magento 2 keeps both the code from the conflicting extensions instead of overriding them.<\/p>\n

Cost of Extensions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The cost of installing and managing plugins has been reduced with the 2nd version, and this became possible with the help of HTML5,Require.js, CSS3, which are introduced in Magento 2.<\/p>\n

Dashboard<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The admin panel is improved a lot, and it is more user-friendly and interactive in Magento 2.
\nNavigation is a lot better; it is easy and quick to find what you are looking for and very easy to navigate and browse.<\/p>\n

Magento 2 has a better interface than Magento 1, which is a messy one. Along with this, it provides a lot of insights, like total sales till date, recent orders, average sales, most frequently searched terms by the customers, tax, and other important functions.<\/p>\n

Search Engine Optimization<\/h2>\n

\"SEO\"<\/p>\n

Magento 2 SEO tool is not that different from Magento 1, or we can say in this part, there are no major advancements.
\nSome new features introduced in Magento 2 are:<\/p>\n

Magento 2 makes use of the Canonical tag, so the problem of avoiding duplicate content does not occur there.
\nMagento 2 uses meta tags for individual pages like Meta Title and Meta Description to improve SEO.
\nMagento 2 is very well optimized for mobile view.<\/p>\n

Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Security\"<\/p>\n

Security has been improved in the Magento 2 with the use of SHA-256 and support Argon21D13 making use of PHP sodium extension, which requires the libsodium 1.0.13 or later.<\/p>\n

If you are using Magento 1, then security is a major threat, as it does not receive security patches or bug fixes since they have shut down the updates for Magento 1 in June 2020.<\/p>\n

Pricing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Pricing\"<\/p>\n

The community edition of both the platforms is free and open-source; the enterprise edition comes with some variation in price according to the plan.<\/p>\n

Magento 1 enterprise edition’s annual cost starts from $18,000, while Magento 2 enterprise edition cost starts from $22,000 annually.<\/p>\n

Here comes the important question: Should you Migrate to Magento 2 if you are using Magento 1.<\/p>\n

Should You migrate?
\nAs the support for Magento 1 has been cut down by Adobe, it would be vulnerable to attacks. So it will be advisable to switch to Magento 2, which provides a lot of new features, plus excellent content building tools.<\/p>\n

There are so many reasons for you to migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2<\/a>. While there are some reasons clients don’t want to migrate, those are mentioned below.<\/p>\n

Fear of changing platform: some of the Magento 1 users feel fear of changing the platform, as their business is going well on the current platform, they fear that changing platform will bring disturbance in the business.<\/p>\n

Satisfaction:<\/strong><\/em> Some Magento 1 users are very satisfied with this platform; they don’t feel the need to change.2<\/p>\n

Community Support:<\/strong><\/em> Magento 2 is still new; its community support and extension market is small compared to Magento 1.<\/p>\n

Cost:<\/strong> <\/em>The cost to migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2 is not low; it costs a lot and requires knowledge of this platform. As the architecture and tech stack of the Magento 2 is a lot different than Magento 1.<\/p>\n

Want To Migrate From Magento 1 To Magento 2<\/h2>\n

\"magento1_magento2\"<\/p>\n

If you want to migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2, you can do this by following the steps given below:
\nMigrate your theme
\nMigrate all your extensions
\nMake use of the code migration tool to migrate customizations
\nUse Data migration tool to migrate data<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>
\nMagento 2 is definitely a better and much more secure platform than Magento 1; I will advise you to migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2. The main reason is the no support on the Magento 1 which leads it to be vulnerable to attacks.<\/p>\n

There are some challenges in migrating to Magento 2, but they can be overcome, and this is a one-time thing, so take a step forward and migrate to Magento 2, making use of the migrating tools and guides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
