And the load at the same time will be very powerful, because the updated version of Magento 2.3 is considered very strong in the truest sense of the word.
What features are worth paying attention to?
To update, you just need to download the appropriate software through the official website of the platform developers. After that, you need to install the compressed archive file.

For example, a popular way is to run the archive and archiving the files to the desired system file, after which it remains only to restart the computer. Thus, a fast update can be achieved.
Next, you need to pay attention to the preparatory stage for the further successful use of the platform. To avoid errors, you should check whether the files were archived correctly, whether all the files were skipped by the computer system. If everything was done without interruption, then the updates are installed correctly and there will be absolutely no problems in the process of working with the updated version of the technology.
It is also important to remember that there is a whole guide to updates that you need to not only download, but also apply as a result, move to the necessary system files, replace some files, sort out unnecessary files and delete them in order for the platform to work properly and without interruption. Therefore, web developers and all those who want to work with the platform in the future should study absolutely all the smallest details, characteristics and nuances that will help make the work fast and hassle-free. At the same time, we must not forget that after installing updates, the system cache must be cleared, because it can be full of unnecessary files that will simply take up extra space, slowing down the process.
