Magento Hosting News

Hey all, I manage a Magento store for a client and I’m running into an issue I could use some help with. The site is generating tons of unnecessary pages ….. mostly from layered navigation filters creating all kinds of parameter-based URLs. It’s starting to clutter the site and could become an SEO problem.

I still want to keep the filters for users, but I’d like to stop Magento from creating (or at least indexing) all these extra pages. Has anyone dealt with this before? What’s the best way to control this without breaking layered nav or hurting UX?

Appreciate any advice or tips.

I’ve been working on a tool that helps businesses get more Google reviews by automating the process of asking for them through simple text templates. It’s a service I’m calling STARSLIFT, and I’d love to get some real-world feedback before fully launching it.

Here’s what it does:

✅ Automates the process of asking your customers for Google reviews via SMS

✅ Lets you track reviews and see how fast you’re growing (review velocity)

✅ Designed for service-based businesses who want more reviews but don’t have time to manually ask

Right now, I’m looking for a few U.S.-based businesses willing to test it completely free. The goal is to see how it works in real-world settings and get feedback on how to improve it.

If you:

• Are a service-based business in the U.S. (think contractors, salons, dog groomers, plumbers, etc)

• Get at least 5-20 customers a day

• Are interested in trying it out for a few weeks … I’d love to connect.

As a thank you, you’ll get free access even after the beta ends.

If this sounds interesting, just drop a comment or DM me with:

• What kind of business you have

• How many customers you typically serve in a day

• Whether you’re in the U.S.

I’ll get back to you and set you up! No strings attached – this is just for me to get feedback and for you to (hopefully) get more reviews for your business.

I’m essentially just wondering what’s the right way (if possible) to create a module that has a block which represents a list of things (could be products, images, whatever), but instead of having the HTML of each element in the list being defined in that block’s template, I’d like to have each element be an instance of some separate template, so that you easily modify just the look of the individual elements of the list without needing to override the template for the containing list.

I’m aware of createBlock(), but I’ve seen a lot of back and forth about its use not being best practice, is that the general consensus? Does using dynamically created blocks have any performance hit, like not being as cacheable, or maybe not being as easily overridable in layout XML files?

Of course, the assumption in my question is that the way to do this would be with blocks, but perhaps the actual answer is to use UI Components instead?

(Also, I already posted this in the Magento stack exchange and a MageOS discord over a week ago and got zero replies. Is this there any more active places for Magento questions or is this subreddit it?)

Hello 👋🏻 Quick question someone will be able to answer straight off. If you have a configurable product in magento. Can the variations of the product still be visible on front end individually. Eg: 1) for use for filters 2) each variation can be found using the search results using the search bar ?

When I tried this, The variations are not visible

Thank you for your help

As title says, we have plenty of work, many stores for many companies. Laid back and chill environment, we pay good rates.

Direct hire if you’re in Germany or consulting (you’ll need to open a valid VAT one person business, which in most of Europe takes half a day).

I’m one of the many people who’ve been let go recently, and I’ve been doing everything I can to get back on track—updating my resume, getting a CompTIA Security+ certification, reaching out to people on LinkedIn, and applying to as many jobs as possible.

Now, I’m thinking about getting the Adobe Experience Manager Sites Content Author Credential, but I’m not sure if it’s actually worth it (Do companies care about it, or is it just a waste of time and money?).

I’ve worked with Magento (1 & 2) for over five years, mostly setting up products, creating category pages, and handling all things related to that (about 80-90% of my time). The rest was spent managing cart rules, customer accounts, attribute sets and more.

Has anyone gotten this credential recently (or in the last year or two) and seen a real difference in job opportunities?

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a Magento 2 store and looking to implement a bulk discount rule that applies based on total quantity across multiple product types, not just quantity of a single SKU.

For example:
If a customer adds 10 qty of x + 5 qty of y, they get a discount because the combined quantity is 15, even though the products are different.

Has anyone implemented this before?

• Is it possible with native Magento Cart Price Rules?
• Or would this require a custom module or third-party extension?.

Appreciate any insights, links, or extensions you’d recommend!

I am using Cloudways for Magento hosting, but what are others using in 2025? I haven’t really searched for alternatives in a while. In Cloudways easiness, support, performance and scalability is ok. Maybe the availability of support would be the most important of those. When shit hits the fan support must be readily available.
