Will switching to a new PHP version improve your Magento online store’s speed? In this blog post, we share the results of testing Magento Open Source performance with different versions of PHP, from 8.1 to 8.2.
Replaces the stock Knockout/RequireJS checkout with a single Alpine.js component using native REST calls. Supports guest and customer flows, coupons, shipping/payment methods, and T&C, with a tiny footprint, CSP-safe assets, and a per–store view toggle.
Splits one‑page checkout into islands: an instantly typeable, cache‑friendly shell with deferred window.checkoutConfig and the stock Knockout payment component, so existing gateways keep working. Includes Google Places autocomplete, saved‑address carousel via customer‑data/localStorage, guest‑order linking, inline validation, and a fail‑safe fallback. Beta; tested primarily alongside its sibling performance extension, and requires 2.4.6+ with PHP 8.1+.
Extends the dev:tests:run command to execute static, unit, integration, and integrity test suites in parallel via ParaTest, with --processes and --runner options and full --arguments passthrough. Includes Composer install steps and CLI examples for speeding up local and CI pipelines.
Mage Dispatch is a community-run archive and bi-weekly newsletter for the Magento, Adobe Commerce and Mage-OS ecosystem. Modules, articles, security advisories and tools, hand-picked by developers and shared so good work does not disappear into the void.
