Why Use Layered Navigation?

73% of internet users leave an online store within two minutes if they don’t find what they’re looking for, 96% say that they search feature is important to their buying process, and 40% use the site’s internal search engine.

Today, internet users are impatient and zap through sites quickly. They like to have everything at their disposal right away. To respond to their needs and to improve searching, a new system has been set up: layered navigation. It is currently defined as one of the most major advances of search tools.

1. What is faceted navigation ?

Layered navigation allows you to search by product characteristics. These are chosen by online retailers and depend on their type of business. To illustrate what this search system represents, let’s take a look at the example below (from the Volkswagen site): as we see, it is possible to search for a car by checking the boxes for category, price, or even CO2 emissions. Thus the user will have a selection of vehicles that match his expectations.

The choice of search criteria has an important role: they must be pertinent to the store’s type of business, otherwise the user will be confused. You should additionally know that layered navigation principally concerns businesses offering a vast selection of products.

2. Why adopt this new system?

To simplify user navigation

Classic navigation incites the user to look for a specific product with the help of a research system with classic categories; he or she chooses a product category (for example, a type of car), then the model, then the price, and then the color. On the contrary, with layered navigation, the user can begin by selecting the criteria important to him and then instantly have a selection of products that fit his expectations. This type of navigation is more intuitive and pleasant because the client can navigate within the catalog according to the characteristics that interest him the most. They can also quickly modify the characteristics of their search and adapt them to new criteria.

To increase sales and customer satisfaction

Layered navigation is more user-friendly, faster, and simpler, allowing clients to quickly find the product that corresponds perfectly to his or her needs. They thus won’t lose any time searching and will be quickly satisfied. As a result, they’ll be more likely to make a purchase, and your online sales will grow.

Now you’ve understood just how beneficial this new search system can be for you and for your clients. Searching is simplified, the client is happy, and the purchase is made.

Currently, more and more companies use this new model of searching, such as Volkswagen, Superdry, and even Sephora! Follow their lead—download use this module natively include with Mage-Shop!

9 quick ways to keep your magento site healthy

1, When possible, avoid running back up utilities during peak hours of your site’s operation. For most ecommerce sites, it is best practice to reserve a time after peak hours (typically anytime between 12am-5am). Additionally, avoid running security scans, such as McAfee Secure, during peak operating hours. This will ensure your customers are not leaving your site due to excessive latency.

2, Avoid using too many different external sources because every DNS lookup takes extra time and could cause latency with your site. Having images, iframes, twitter feeds, etc..  pulled outside your server will slow down your site and page load time. When possible keep what you can on you own server as this will speed up your site tremendously.

3, Make your output W3C compliant. W3C errors can slow down the browsers. Only have extensions to other technology providers that you actually use. Any extensions that you are not using can put a strain on your servers.

4, When possible, limit the number of products on a product overview page. This will help your pages to load faster as there are less images and information that the browser will have to pull in.

5, Use Magento’s Compilation feature. It’s reported to give you a 25%-50%  boost in performance. This can be accessed via: System > Tools > Compilation.

6, Enable full page caching. This will help product load faster on your ecommerce site.

7, Enable Solr search, usually this is faster than the default setup. This is more noticeable when you have lots of products, more than 10 thousand for example.

8, If you are having planning a big sale or advertising on sites such as slickdeals, dealdump, techdeals, etc, contact your support team so you have time to prepare for the large influx of traffic to your site. This will allow options for increase bandwidth, additional failover options and so on.

9, Last but not least monitor your site. You need some sort of monitoring in place in order to see problems before they start. It is recommend to have dedicated hosting with monitoring support. When a possible problem is discovered early it is often times preventable.
