Hydrotek Hydroponics is a leading supplier of hydroponic and greenhouse systems across North America. With a complex catalog and a large customer base, maintaining high performance and transactional reliability was critical for both their B2B and retail operations.
The previous Magento environment was running on outdated versions of both Magento and PHP, creating instability, security vulnerabilities, and higher maintenance costs.
Catalog indexing and checkout processes had slowed, and module incompatibilities limited future expansion. A modernization was required to ensure long-term stability and performance.
MageMontreal conducted a complete technical audit of Hydrotek’s Magento stack to identify outdated extensions and potential compatibility risks. The team then executed the Magento and PHP upgrades, validating each module within a controlled staging environment to ensure seamless post-launch performance.
Performance improvements included cache configuration, indexing optimization, and database cleanup – all aimed at achieving faster page loads and smoother admin operations. Extensive QA validated both user and backend workflows before the live deployment.
