Big Cartel Blog

Coming off the holidays, we’ve been hard at work on a host of performance improvements for Big Cartel. This past week, we finished migrating all store images to Amazon CloudFront. CloudFront ensures that visitors to your stores download images from a lightning fast server near them, no matter where they are in the world. This results in faster page loads and, hopefully, more traffic and sales for your stores.

Less visibly, we’ve been making some nerdy (technical) changes under the hood that, in addition to speeding up page loads for your stores, will enable us to handle ever more traffic without breaking a sweat.

As ever, thanks. We’re looking forward to a great year.
