nopCommerce 4.0 has been released

MijnHostingPartner.nl has a nice announcement for nopCommerce users. The latest update is now officially out! Version 4.0 is now available for download from the nopCommerce website. Existing webshops can be updated to 4.0 with an upgrade script which is available for download. This upgrade includes many bugfixes and the biggest change is converting the code to ASP.NET Core 2.0. This provides a major performance boost that is immediately noticeable. In a webshop it is extremely important that products and pages are loaded as quickly as possible. If this is not the case then this can have major consequences for the number of sales of your nopCommerce webhosting and the ranking within search engines.

Visitors expect a webshop to load within 3 seconds and there is little patience for slow websites. Besides the user experience, this is also important for your results in the search engine rankings. The easier you are found the better the results you will see in sales.
