Aiming to improve the merchant experience, we have implemented significant improvements in checkout resilience and reduced latency — the time it takes to transfer data from one point to another — for accounts using Data Protection Plus, an architecture available in selected regions on VTEX Shield. These performance enhancements are designed to increase the purchase conversion rate.
What has changed?
We have successfully reduced the total latency of the sales flow for accounts using Data Protection Plus by approximately 55%, equivalent to 9800 ms. This improvement makes the checkout process more agile, allowing critical API calls to be made more quickly.
What needs to be done?
No action is required, as the updates have been automatically applied to all accounts using Data Protection Plus.
