# Performance

Bagisto is designed to be fast, scalable, and efficient, ensuring a smooth e-commerce experience even under heavy traffic. This guide covers essential performance optimizations, caching strategies, database tuning, indexing, full-page caching (FPC), Laravel Octane, and load balancing techniques to enhance scalability.

In the realm of online stores, web vitals (opens new window) have become increasingly crucial. Bagisto prioritizes good LCP (opens new window) and CLS (opens new window) to ensure an optimal user experience.

Additionally, Bagisto has seamlessly integrated ElasticSearch (opens new window) to further enhance search speed and efficiency.
