Identifying Challenges in Scaling and Optimizing the Retail eCommerce Platform

The client currently operates an outdated and limited eCommerce website built on a free, open-source CMS that cannot handle increased traffic and sales volume. This has led to frequent site crashes during promotional campaigns, poor user experience due to slow load speeds and limited UI customization, ineffective product display, insufficient search functionality, and security concerns. As a result, online sales constitute less than 1% of total revenue, with significant missed opportunities during high-traffic events, hindering growth and competitive positioning.
