Re-indexing your Magento eCommerce store is an incredibly important step to optimise the performance of your website. When running an online store, you will be continuously adding new data such as prices, catalog data, product data and far more. This means that it is essential to reindex your website as this will help to reduce customer waiting time and load speeds so that you can focus on the success of your business. In this tutorial, our London Magento agency has put together some easy steps to re-index your Magento store. 

Step 1 

In the index management section of your Magento store, you will see the status of your data, indicating which data needs indexing/re-indexing. This will be signified by a red message status reading “reindex required”. 

Step 2 

To address the issue and reindex the required data you will need to open Putty and run the following command: 

php bin/magento indexer:reindex  

Step 3 

Here, you will see the result of each indexer. It should read “index has been rebuilt successfully”. This may take some time to reindex each section of data. 

Step 4 

Once the command has finished running and is completed, you will be able to see the new status of the indexer in the admin panel. The status should now say “READY”. 

Clearly, this is an essential step to successfully manage your eCommerce store. Re-indexing your data allows you to operate a robust platform, adding a large volume of data and information.
