With years of experience in cultivating Venus Flytraps, they take pride in offering robust, healthy plants potted in premium growing mediums.

Enhancing Performance and Security

FlytrapStore faced several challenges that needed immediate attention. Their website, built on Magento 2.3.5 and using the Porto theme, suffered from poor performance, with PageSpeed Insights scores lingering around 40-50. This led to a suboptimal user experience and potential customer frustration.

Additionally, their outdated Magento version exposed the site to security vulnerabilities and technical limitations. The team wanted to transition to the Hyva Theme while also upgrading to the latest Magento 2.4.7p3 version. The goal was clear: improve speed, enhance security, and ensure a seamless shopping experience across all devices.
