What are Speed Boosters?

Speed Boosters are optimizations that make syncing with Shopify faster:

• Batch Processing: Process multiple items simultaneously
• Incremental Sync: Only sync changed items
• Optimized Queries: Reduce data transfer
• Parallel Operations: Execute multiple sync operations at once

Batch Size Configuration

Control how many items are processed at once:

• Small Batch (50 items): Slower but more stable
• Medium Batch (100 items): Balanced speed and stability
• Large Batch (250 items): Fastest but may hit rate limits
• Auto-Adjust: System automatically optimizes batch size

Incremental Sync

Only sync items that have changed:

• Change Detection: System tracks which items have changed
• Faster Syncs: Only updates modified items
• Full Sync Option: Force full sync when needed
• Timestamp Tracking: Know when each item was last synced

Parallel Processing

Process multiple operations simultaneously:

• Concurrent Requests: Send multiple requests at once
• Thread Control: Adjust number of parallel operations
• Rate Limit Respect: Automatically throttles to avoid limits
• Queue Management: Efficient operation queuing

Caching

Reduce redundant data fetching:

• Product Data Cache: Store frequently accessed product info
• Collection Cache: Cache Shopify collection data
• Image Cache: Avoid re-uploading identical images
• Cache Duration: Configure how long to cache data

Optimization Tips

• Off-Peak Syncing: Schedule large syncs during low-traffic hours
• Selective Sync: Only sync necessary fields
• Image Optimization: Compress images before syncing
• Minimal Description: Shorter descriptions sync faster
• Remove Unused Tags: Fewer tags means faster processing

Monitoring Performance

Track sync performance:

• Sync Duration: See how long syncs take
• Items Per Minute: Track processing speed
• Error Rate: Monitor failed operations
• Rate Limit Usage: Check API limit consumption
