Managed SLA Performance

Representative trailing-12-month figures from a typical Business-tier managed Magento store on our infrastructure.

  • 180–260ms Median TTFB (cached)
  • <1.8s LCP (75th percentile)
  • 99.95%+ Actual Uptime
  • 2–4 min Incident MTTA
  • 15–45 min Incident MTTR
  • Day 0 APSB Patch Window

All figures measured by external monitoring and Sentry. Excludes planned maintenance windows. Individual store performance varies with catalogue size, extension stack, and traffic profile. We share full measurement methodology on request.

Who Managed Magento Is Not For

We'd rather be upfront than oversell. If any of the below applies, a different approach will serve you better.

  • Stores under £250k/year GMV

    Fully managed Magento is overkill at this scale. Shopify or a lightweight Magento Open Source install on budget hosting is usually the right call; we'll happily point you at alternatives.

  • Merchants optimising purely for lowest hosting cost

    This is fully managed: infrastructure, patching, monitoring and a development retainer in one price. If the goal is the cheapest possible VPS, that's not us.

  • Teams that need root shell on the OS layer

    We ring-fence root access for security and PCI scope. You get full SSH as an application user with the codebase fully under your control, but kernel and package-level access sits with us.

  • Stores running heavily forked core code

    If a previous agency patched Magento core directly rather than using plugins and preferences, we'll need to unwind that first before managed hosting is safe. We can scope that work separately.

Common Merchant Challenges, Solved

These are the problems we hear most from merchants managing their own Magento infrastructure. Our fully managed service eliminates every one of them.

  • Server Maintenance Overhead

    Fully managed hosting with automated updates and zero infrastructure management. You never need to think about server configuration, OS updates, or service restarts.

  • Slow Page Loads

    Code profiled, bottlenecks removed, cron jobs restructured, caching optimised, and server resources tuned and monitored for sustained performance.

  • Security Vulnerabilities

    Proactive patching, extension code review, coding best practices, PCI-DSS compliance, and 24/7 monitoring backed by a team of Magento security specialists.

  • Traffic Spikes

    Auto-scaling cloud infrastructure handles sudden demand surges. Requests optimised for peak traffic, with joint preparation before high-traffic periods like Black Friday.

  • Indexer Failures

    Properly configured indexers, optimised cron schedules, and proactive monitoring ensure your catalogue, prices, and stock levels are always accurate and up to date.

  • Resource Limits

    High-availability servers with dedicated RAM and CPU allocation, monitored 24/7 with automated monthly stack reviews to ensure optimal resource utilisation.

Direct Developer Access

With our service, you gain direct access to our development team - no tickets lost in a queue, no middlemen. Our platforms are built on rigorously tested setups, so you can leave behind the frustrations of breaking cron jobs, downtime during peak sales, and slow page loads costing you revenue.

  • Rapid Issue Resolution

    Speak directly to the developers working on your store. No communication barriers, no ticket escalation chains - just fast, expert problem solving.

  • Transparent Communication

    Know exactly what is happening with your store at all times. Detailed reporting, clear explanations, and proactive updates on maintenance and performance.

  • Proactive Monitoring

    We identify and resolve issues before they affect your customers. 24/7 uptime monitoring with real-time alerts and immediate response to critical events.

  • Predictable Costs

    No surprise infrastructure bills or emergency charges. Structured maintenance protocols with clear, predictable pricing so you can budget with confidence.

Continuity, Uptime, and UX

Never miss a sale. Our service ensures your store is always available, always fast, and always delivering the experience your customers expect.

  • 99.9% Uptime SLA

    Backed by redundant infrastructure and automated failover systems. High-availability architecture means hardware failures do not become customer-facing outages.

  • Optimised User Experience

    Fast, responsive design and seamless checkout flows. Every interaction is tuned for speed and conversion, from product browsing to order confirmation.

  • Continuous Monitoring

    Real-time performance monitoring preemptively addresses issues before they impact your customers. Automated alerts and self-recovery keep your store running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does "Magento as a SaaS" actually mean?

    It means you get all the flexibility and power of Magento 2 without managing any infrastructure. We handle hosting, security patching, performance tuning, backups, and monitoring - you focus on your products and customers, just like you would with a SaaS platform.

  • How is this different from Shopify or BigCommerce?

    Unlike true SaaS platforms, you retain full ownership and control of your code, data, and customisations. There are no platform fees, no transaction commissions, and no feature limitations. You get SaaS-level convenience with open-source flexibility.

  • Do I still have access to my server and codebase?

    Yes. You get full SSH access via secure VPN and complete ownership of your codebase. We manage the infrastructure, but you are never locked out of your own platform.

  • What happens during traffic spikes like Black Friday?

    Our infrastructure auto-scales within 60 seconds. For planned events, we coordinate capacity planning in advance to ensure your store has the headroom it needs. No lost sales during peak periods.

  • What if something goes wrong at 2am?

    Our 24/7 monitoring detects issues in real time. Critical incidents receive a 3-minute emergency response. Automated failover and redundant infrastructure mean most issues resolve before they impact your customers.

  • Can you migrate my store from another host or platform?

    Yes. We handle full migrations including DNS, SSL, data, and testing with zero downtime. Whether you are coming from shared hosting, AWS, or another platform entirely, we manage the entire process.
