Introducing the new versions for two Magento 2 themes. Built with performance in mind, the Argento Breeze 2.7.3 and Argento 1.4.9 releases mean a smoother shopping experience, faster clicks, lower bounce rates, and better conversion. This is all a must if you want to win from competitors in the big ecommerce market.
In the article, we provide a short overview of basic updates to the theme, as well as to the modules from the package. Here’s a closer look at what each release offers. Start exploring.
Argento Breeze 2.7.3 updates
Our theme is designed with the fastest front-end in mind. Why? Because speed isn’t just a bonus — it's essential. Google favors fast sites. Customers do, too.
However, if you manage an e-commerce store, you know that the modules are the ones that extend and customize the store's functionality. Magento 2 extensions add specific features that help clients more likely to discover products, and buy.
Let’s take a closer look at what the updates of the Argento Breeze 2.7.3 modules bring this time.
