Every ecommerce leader always wants to do their best to attract their customers- starting from enhancing the page loading speed to offering a wonderful mobile friendly browsing experience. Magento has continued to be the first choice for merchants and has enjoyed a great popularity and flexibility.\u00a0 But Magento version 1 has always been under scrutiny for poor page load speed and other performance related issues. So, the team has launched an upgraded platform: Magento 2.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Magento_1_Death_Date_Announced\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Magento 1, Death Date Announced:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Magento 2 is finally out and everyone is excited about its latest features. But with this the death date of Magento 2 has also been declared and that is June 2020. So if you are a Magento ecommerce site owner, then you can only expect software security and quality support till June 2020. This is done to maintain compliance and not to make any further investment in the development or improvement on this soon to be an outdated digital platform.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003300;\"><em>But what will you do after that? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Prepare_Your_Site_for_the_Deadline\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #003366;\">How to Prepare Your Site for the Deadline?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You may think that 2020 is far away, but it is actually 16 months away and if you have not started planning your upgrade, you will probably lack behind. Whether you are an agency or you have an internal team to work, it is high time that you need to start planning so that you can pay careful consideration to offering a rich and consistent user experience to attract and engage the visitors to your site. So instead of wasting your time on Magento 1, it is better to switch to a better platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/blog\/magento-community-vs-magento-enterprise-a-comparison\"><span style=\"color: #e01010;\">Magento Community Vs Magento Enterprise: A Comparison<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Should_You_Migrate_to_Magento_2\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Why Should You Migrate to Magento 2?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There may be various reasons for migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2.
