About the Client

TradingDepot is a popular DIY and home renovation supplies store in the UK. The product range includes more than 50 thousand SKUs. The company has its own warehouse and provides 24-hour shipping across the country.

Why They Chose MageCloud

Our first step was to record a technical video audit of the website. We usually do this for every prospect to at least give some value to our conversation. The review covers all current website issues, reveals the areas for improvement, and shares our suggestions according to the client’s goal. The client was impressed by our approach, transparency, honesty, and client’s testimonials.

 

The client came to us after working with a local agency, complaining about the performance and the analytics.

 

We did our usual expert system audit. As a result, we delivered a detailed document with the Magento website audit results and our suggestions. The client appreciated the analysis and we started the cooperation.

What We Did

We stabilised the platform and improved both performance and search visibility by fixing tracking issues, resolving Search Console errors, improving site infrastructure, and optimising product snippets for better SERP performance. We also implemented reliable deployment processes to support ongoing growth and high traffic levels.

Initial Settings

We started with a full technical audit of the Magento setup, including analytics validation, tracking accuracy, and core configuration checks to identify issues affecting reporting and performance visibility.

Outgoing Support and Improvements

We transferred the client from AWS to Sonassi. Being a managed-hosting solution, Sonassi economized a lot of time for a store team. Moreover, it turned out to be less expensive.

We analyzed the website and removed the rankings problem, and resolved the problems with Google Search Console.

We also optimized SERP snippets for the store, to make them more attractive in search results.

Zero-downtime Deployment

For all clients with a big amount of traffic (TradingDepot has 200k+ monthly visitors) we usually implement a zero-downtime deployment, to not let the website down during the Magento deployment process. We also provide ongoing Magento maintenance services to ensure the site remains fully optimized and secure.

Results

Following the improvements, TradingDepot saw a significant uplift in ecommerce performance, including a 28% increase in conversion rate and an 11.31% increase in average order value. The store also achieved more stable tracking, improved search visibility, and a stronger technical foundation to support ongoing growth at scale.
