Oh bubble tea and pair of half stale donuts. You're the only thing between me and me quitting my fucking job right now.

Ideas w/ Amelia

I haven’t really been up to a full-fledged Can We Discuss lately, but I didn’t want to just vanish for a while with my move coming up without posting anything. So, here’s a smattering of ideas I think would be cool for SSO.

Change the transport system for Jorvik’s overworld to work like Jorvik’s city, clicking on locations on the map to go to instead of scrolling through the list.

Fix the prices between the Friends app and the website so that they’re the same on both. Also reduce the price of Star Coins so they make sense with other pricing in the game and in the industry.

Co-op wagon races where one person maintains the horses and the other controls the wagon.

Make a permanent version of the Cloud Kingdom with a Mario Kart style race with pickups and other items for more interesting multiplayer racing, then bringing the system down to a select number of regular races, like the Big 7 (the seven races that are always for birthday races and the most iconic).

Switch to an expansion based model instead of weekly updates to reduce major burnout and turnaround on the dev team, since the weekly update model is regarded to be extremely demanding by the industry as a whole. Or instead of expansions, have quarterly updates that add a large amount of quests and content, with weekly patches being for events and bug fixes.

Make a forum or a subReddit to host more AMA style events, particularly since it seems the devs are now responding to all kinds of feedback, positive and negative, and I really appreciate this and want to be able to engage more with them outside their emailing system. Having a forum for ideas would also reduce the influx of emails they have to respond to and simplify the reporting system.

Have an ingame reporting system for players with a prompt and drop down dialogue before reporting to reduce spamming, but also overall simplify the process. Also, as illustrated by the photo mode, being able to screenshot from inside the game is totally an option now.

Allow players to change their emails without contacting support.

Update all horse models that have two to just having the new one. This will help simplify the image of the game and also open up space in a lot of cluttered stables. It also will reduce the feeling of SSO just making new horses to sell more horses, which considering that they cost $30 USD apiece, feels grimy. It also reduces the amount of modeling the devs have to do when coding for all the old models as well as new ones. Long term benefits.

For “luxury”/expensive models, have more breed specific races. If you’re spending $30+ USD on a horse, you ought to get some other content. That’s as much as some game’s expansion packs.

Now that jumping is free, leading should be too. I said this before, and I’ll say it again, being able to use leading in content is an outstanding option and it shouldn’t continue to be locked behind a pay wall.

Now that jump is free, expand the free to pay area to include all of Silverglade. Don’t expand the quest list, but expand the area. Considering SSO’s two main features are its story and exploration, being able to explore all of Silverglade, make friends, look around, and meet NPCs feels like more of an incentive to buy membership than having such a restricted region. If there’s no increase to quests or dailies, being a free member is still less exciting than having membership, and they won’t have access to other areas like the Harvest Counties or South Hoof. But being able to see the areas they could unlock feels like more of an incentive to buy than the area that they have now.

Add an experience multiplier based on player level to horse experience. This gives players more of a reason to level, and it also helps balance out experience gain for higher level players who tend to have lots of horses. It also reduces the need for the devs to balance out experience gain. Also this tech is already in the game as shown by the old system where the starter horse received more experience in races than any other type of horse.

Give the player the option to have multiple character slots. This provides the game with so much replay-ability with out the price tag of additional membership.

Allow players to make up their own character name, and change it. There would need to be a new team dedicated to approving names, and players could have temporary names in the SSO system in the meantime, but it would allow players to personalize their characters more, and for players who joined before a wide range of names were an option, allow them to pick names they would actually want.

Update races with set pieces, like the Baroness Race Track. SSO adds new set pieces all the time for races, having two versions of the Baroness Race Track shouldn’t be that hard. If parts of the map can be reworked to have temporary obstacles for championships and races that only affect the racers, then this should be possible for this race too, and other old races.

Bring back the Scarecrow Hill Race. Again.

Update the Social tab.

Update the Help tab.

Capes, cloaks, and hoodies that take up shirt and hat spot, with the option to remove the hood.

Full body dresses and robes that take up the shirt and pants slot.

More mane hair styles. This one has been promised for a while.

Have official social media correspondents on Twitter and Tumblr. It’s almost 2019 and your Twitter is dead. It’s marketing 101 to have correspondents on all major platforms, and you don’t. This is your best access to community and marketing, why aren’t you doing this?

Stop with the “Girls > Boys” mentality. All genders are equal, and what you’re actually doing isn’t helping the feminist cause and it’s pandering. Take one from Shannon Hale on this. Boys can enjoy feminine things, and pressing this divide only hurts the argument. It also drives away potential customers.

Take the time to release new areas properly. South Hoof and Mistfall are aesthetically beautiful, but are barren gameplay wise, and we’re now going to have to wait years to see them finished.

Stop adding factions if players can’t 100% them.

Rebalance poorly balanced factions like the Sunfields and the Goldspurs.

Allow players to make their own orienteering races with friends using the waypoint tech.

Update inaccessible locations on the map list of locations. Some of these locations have been inaccessible for over four years now, like the “Not all that glitters is gold” location in Dino.

The player almost never takes damage. There’s no need for two health bars.

Make the library at the Winery useful and let us reread lore books to help remember story info between when that story info was used last and when it’s being brought back into the story.

A thrift store that lets you buy back items from quests, using the tech from the Lifetime store.

Have increased option control for players with good gaming rigs, like allowing for an increased render distance or being able to decide how many players are rendered at once and to what detail. SSO already has a loading period for adding detail to players, so for players with less advanced hardware, being able to lower down this detail rendering would make it easier to visit higher population areas. And for players with better rigs, it makes the game prettier.

If the devs want to promote less populated servers, then host events on those servers.

Redo Nic’s camp to use the Rescue Ranch system. Generally add more Rescue Ranch style quests in other areas.

Let the player jump while on foot. It adds almost nothing to gameplay, but it makes them feel like clunky. It also would help community classics like foot races.

Add left saddlebags.

Stylists should be able to mirror mane styles, so that the mane can fall on either side.

Players should either have to read quest dialogue after level 9 to know what they have to do or they shouldn’t. Quit waffling.

Achievements should have rewards, like titles, unique clothes, or access to hidden quests.

Bring back hidden quests.

If there are going to be cold resistant horses, then there should be other horses with abilities like that. Heat resistant horses, horses good at climbing with pass that only they can climb at full speed, horses that can cross bodies of water without a meter. If you’re going to make a system like that, then you gotta flesh it out.

And now I’ve been working on this list for over two hours, so I’m gonna leave it there so I still have something to talk about in Can We Discuss. Cool. Bye.

Page Speed Optimization: How to Speed Up Your Website

You’ve built your website, you’re getting traffic through your analytics but you just aren’t getting the kinds of benefits you’ve expected. Your repeat visitor rate may be low and the time people spend on the site doesn't suggest interest or engagement.

One possible culprit may be your website speed or loading time.

Why speed matters?

The speed of your website is directly responsible for determining its performance, in terms of attracting visitors and keeping them interested for the longest time. If a website takes ages to load, users are bound to lose interest and move on to another website that offers the same services as yours but is much faster.

Moreover, your website speed is very important for your SEO. If your website loads fast, your ranking in search engines will be higher. This is because Google prefers fast websites, and it rewards them by ranking them higher in search engine results. Apart from speed, the user experience is another factor in Google’s ranking algorithm. So, by boosting the speed of your website and improving your user experience, you will eventually improve your SEO ranking. As a result, you’ll get higher traffic and attract more quality leads that you can convert into customers, ultimately increasing your sales and generating more revenue.

How to Test the Website Speed?

There are a couple of ways to test the speed of a website - by monitoring what real users are experiencing, or with 3rd party test tools that run tests to measure performance. Tools like Pingdom or PageSpeed Insights is recommended as they are very easy to use. These tools also tracks your website’s performance history, so you can have insight into any potential changes regarding your website speed.

So, let’s take a look at a few ways in which you can use website speed optimization to your advantage:

#1 Upgrade Your Web Hosting Plan

The major factor that influences the speed of a website is the hosting of your website. It might seem like a good idea to host your new website on a shared hosting provider that offers “unlimited” bandwidth, space, emails, domains and more. However, the point that we usually miss out on regarding this offer is that shared hosting environments fail to deliver good loading times on peak traffic hours, and most fail to provide 99 percent uptime in any given month.

Shared hosting tends to deliver a poorer performance because you are sharing the same server space with countless other websites, and there is no telling how much resources others are using. Plus, you don’t know exactly how well the servers are optimized.

#2 Enable Browser Caching

Microsoft speed specialist and computer scientist Harry Shum believes 0.25 seconds of difference in page load time — faster or slower – is the magic number dictating competitive advantages for online businesses. Enabling caching can improve your website speed significantly and give visitors to your site a more rewarding user experience.

Caching refers to the process of storing static files, such as HTML documents, media files, images, CSS and JavaScript files, for easier and faster access, so that the database does not have to retrieve each and every file every time there is a new request. The more requests are being made to your server, the more time it will take for your website to load.

#3 Use a CDN

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a network of multiple servers located around the world that deliver web content to end users according to their geographic location. A CDN can host the static files of your website in order to deliver them more efficiently and reduce bandwidth and your server load. With a CDN, the requested web content will be delivered to end users much quicker, since a CDN will use a server closest to users to deliver the files they request.

As a result, not only will there be no latency, but your website will also become much faster. This is due because your visitors will access your cache instead of requesting files directly from your server.

#4 Use a Good Theme (if using WordPress)

Prevention is usually a better strategy than cure. To prevent lots of page speed issues in the first place, you should opt for a good host, a good CDN, and good theme / design.

As a digital marketer, it’s frustrating when web designers build sites that look beautiful but perform terribly from an SEO perspective or a speed perspective. I remember once having to deliver news to a client who spent one quarter of a million pounds on a new website, only to have it scrapped because it would have obliterated their digital marketing efforts. This is the most extreme example I’ve ever experienced, but it’s etched a scar that I’ll always remember.

#5 Minify your CSS and JS Files

When you look at what’s causing your pages to load slowly, chances are that it’s got something to do with lots of clunky Javascript files or CSS being loaded inefficiently. One of the pitfalls of WordPress and other content management systems is that a new JS or CSS file is added virtually every time you install a new plugin.

There are several ways to minify your files. The first way involves squishing all of your files into one – so instead of calling ten individual javascript files, you simply place all of your javascript in one file.

#6 Detect 404 Errors

A 404 error means that a “Page isn’t found”. This message is provided by the hosting to browsers or search engines when the accessed content of a page no longer exists. In order to detect and correct a 404 error, you can use error detection tools and plugins. As we mentioned, additional plugins can negatively affect your website speed, so we advise running the resource through external tools for error detection.

#7 Remove Extra Ads and External Services

Tempting as it may seem, selling too much real estate to third-party advertisers drastically degrades website performance. Too many ads or slow loading ads drive bounce rates and negatively impact online marketability. The financial losses that come with high bounce rates outweigh the monetary benefits of handing over vast website spaces to advertisers.

#8 Optimize The Size of Images

Everyone loves eye-catching images. In the case of successful eCommerce sites, images are the vital part. A lot of photos, images, graphics on your product pages improve engagement. The negative side of the image use is that they are usually large files that slow down a website.

Conclusion

Hence, these were some of the outstanding website speed optimization techniques for you. Improving site speed is part of conversion optimization. It’s often a low-hanging fruit that you can get done right away – improving user experience and revenue at the same time.

Why is eCommerce Migration Replatforming Important? 5 Untold Reasons!

Source

As an eCommerce retailer, you need to keep up with the fast-paced advances in technology in this technological arena. Over time, your eCommerce platform will start to slow down, lack essential features, and offer limited functionality.

Did you know!

According to one web development stat, 74% of businesses say that their current platforms do not scale appropriately. At the same time, 78% stated that their existing solutions could not support the agility of cross-channel order management.

When businesses struggle to meet their needs for growth and cross-channel functionality, replatforming may be the best answer. You will need to replatform to a new eCommerce store that has more features and offers optimum performance.

If any company has been in eCommerce for more than a few years, they must have replatformed at least once. All online commerce sites need a reliable, secure, and scalable platform to help the business grow bigger and faster.

In this article, I will describe why eCommerce replatforming is essential for successful business growth. But before that, I'll cover what eCommerce replatforming is, why it's necessary, and how you can benefit from replatforming.

Let’s get started...

What is eCommerce Replatforming?

Source

In simple terms, Ecommerce replatforming is the migration from one platform to another to provide advanced eCommerce functionality for your organization. On a basic level, it is the migration of data from one store to another. 

For some, it requires implementing a third-party COTS package to replace an existing one. For others, it means migrating from an in-house bespoke solution to a third-party vendor and changing the operational model.

In most cases, this is done to enhance the performance, capabilities, or usability of your business. This can also be done to reduce expenses. Replatforming is a way to enhance the output or functionality of the eCommerce solution you use.

Here are some of the greatest advantages of eCommerce replatforming:

Maintaining a consistent experience across channels.

More customization options.

Increased functionality around the mobile platform.

Better customer support and more efficient response times.

Scalability and improved functionality for company growth.

Integration with major business applications for consistent data.

The principles of replatforming are the same for every organization, but the scope and complexity of the project can vary greatly.

What are the Reasons behind eCommerce Replatforming? 

Source 

As your business grows, you may need to replatform to stay up-to-date with technology. No matter how good a system you get initially, it will eventually get outdated and need to be upgraded or replaced.

Ecommerce migration for business growth is a huge task that will take time and effort. In addition, it will transform your entire eCommerce site, including design, admin navigation, functionality, performance, and more.

There are several reasons to migrate your eCommerce platform to a new solution. Here I’ve mentioned some of them: 

Site Speed and Responsiveness

Source 

Since about 40% of shoppers abandon a site if it doesn't load within 3 seconds, a fast, responsive site is essential. You must use a high-quality website hosting service and limit your plugins to keep your site smooth and efficient.

Gaps in your existing system

Migrating to an eCommerce platform with functionalities that cover direct gaps in your current system is one of the most common reasons to migrate your eCommerce tools, as it will result in immediate improvements wherever you require them most.

Inadequate performance 

Persistent and intermittent performance issues turn into a poor user experience, slowing them down and even preventing them from purchasing.

Time-consuming or costly maintenance

Source 

Suppose your existing site needs regular, costly, or time-consuming maintenance. In that case, replatforming can eliminate a lot of it for you, either by achieving better performance or placing this burden on a third-party solution.  

You can also opt for custom eCommerce development in India to cut costs on your next eCommerce solution. 

Admin functions poorly

A clunky admin panel indicates poor navigation, slows down your team, and ultimately results in lower output. When this becomes a burden, switching to a smooth, simple admin will ensure that your team has an excellent tool and can work effectively.

Repetitive tasks

By replatforming to a new eCommerce solution with increased functionality or better interfacing, you can eliminate repetitive, duplicate tasks that you have to perform manually on a regular basis.

Streamlined, accessible analytics 

Without proper analysis, you cannot gain meaningful insights and make significant improvements. Ensure you can collect, measure, and display data that works best for all the teams that rely on this data.

Multiple, easy-to-use integrations

Your current system may not integrate with new plugins, or adding extensions may be pretty tricky. Upgrading to an eCommerce platform that smoothly integrates with multiple plugins can solve this.

Poor user experience

Source 

If you find that you have compromised your user experience at any point, you should consider eCommerce replatforming. Make sure that consumer experience should always be your top priority.

Customer feedback and complaints

Use customer reviews and other feedback methods to get an idea of ​​what customers are not happy with on your eCommerce site. Listen carefully and focus on improving what customers are requesting first.

Top Benefits of eCommerce Replatforming for Businesses

Source 

With the increasing number of online customers and their increasing expectations, e-merchants think about the changes and motivate them to improve the store. Not everyone understands the benefits of replatforming or when the need to move to another shopping cart appears. 

There is still a question of how to find out that the time to switch has already come. Maybe, it's better late than never, but businesses still need the courage to make a quick decision. 

So, let's take an in-depth look to understand what are the benefits of changing eCommerce platforms.

#1 Improved Customer Experience 

To satisfy consumers, you must think like one of them. Facilitate site navigation or optimize search functions. Don't forget about URL syntax and coding, product image quality, and one-page checkout.

Moreover, your landing page should be bright and dynamic as it is the first thing seen by the customers which influences their different decisions.

#2 Successful Business Growth

Source 

Of course, your needs grow as well as those of customers. And the shopping carts that support the store must meet the requirements and demands for successful online store management.

Your eCommerce solution may limit the number of products for the store. Maybe you want to create another online shop. There may be no possibility of multi-channel sales. If you know what it signifies to be restricted, sure, it's time to eliminate such limitations.

#3 Control Business Possibilities 

You have the possibility to control your business by looking at the key features and the measurements that show the results of the buying activity.

KPIs provide a clue as to whether progress has been made given your customers' satisfying needs and tastes. Site traffic, conversion, and net profit - the new shopping cart will probably help you improve these indicators to make sure the way you started is right.

#4 Increase in Revenue

Source 

This point includes separate expenses for site hosting, hardware investment, human resources, etc. The new platform is going to reduce the maintenance cost, and as a result, your revenue will increase.

#5 Security

Source 

The Store must guarantee that your information, as well as that of your customers, is secure. In fact, the current shopping cart cannot solve this problem, but updating the security level appears to be one of the replatforming rewards.

When Is The Right Time to Replatform?

The "right" time to replatform, especially when you factor in the full scope of the project, doesn't exist. It is common to assume that you will need 18 months to launch a new site. 

When considering a SaaS-hosted solution, rethink that timeline and know that you may be ready to launch much faster than you realize with the proper support.

Summing Up 

Is your eCommerce platform cutting edge? If not, it's time to replatform it. Choosing the right eCommerce solution must balance the cost of implementation, licensing, and management to build and grow a competitive site.

Ultimately, migrating to a new eCommerce platform and overcoming replatforming limitations can help you define your business goals clearly. And this ensures that the investments required are worth it, and thoroughly examines all platforms and potential migration services.

️Even if you have any doubts, you can reach out to a top eCommerce development company in India to find the right eCommerce solution for your business. They will guide you from start to finish eCommerce migration and replatforming.

Good Luck!
