Magento | Personalization in Recommendations

We've introduced Personal Recommendations and several overall improvements on our Magento plugins to improve performance, usability and compliance with coding standards. If you have the Merchandising Builder feature enabled and enabled Varnish in your Magento configuration, we do serve cached versions of product tiles in Recommendations too like we already did for lister pages. This ensures that instant personal recommendations are much faster than before, and no extra requests (and flickering on page) is needed when loading the page.

Varnish required!

  • Magento2Tweakwise v8.0.0
  • Magento2TweakwiseHyva v4.0.0

This update involves a significant change as we've rewritten the recommendation views to use Varnish. This could lead to non desired behavior (in case of misconfiguration) so we kindly request to test your new versions thoroughly before hitting production!
