Interface

Starting from version 5.1, Bitrix Site Manager comes with a completely rebuilt Control Panel interface. More than 300 forms and pages were totally redesigned. Users now enjoy the following new concepts:

  • new Adaptive Interface with flexible settings;
  • late-breaking innovative technologies (AJAX);
  • faster response speed;
  • product usability enhancements.

Site management is work that must be performed every day, so we did our best to help you enjoy it.

AJAX is a web development technology that is used to create interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small pieces of data with the server behind the scenes, so that a web page does not require a complete reload each time a user initiates a navigation action. This increases the webpage responsiveness, speed and usability.

What Experts Say

About the new interface design development completed by the Bitrix engineering team.

Vadim Dumbravanu, Vice CEO, Bitrix Inc.:

Vadim Dumbravanu"As new functions and features have been added to the product, we have taken the accessibility to these functions through a new interface just as seriously as all other parts of the development process.

The Adaptive Interface preserves all the capabilities and conveniences that our clients are accustomed to. It makes work comfortable and pleasant for both newbies and professionals.

The Adaptive Interface fully satisfies the requirements envisioned at the outset of development and has been met very positively by the users."


Eugene Eryomin, Web Designer, Bitrix Inc.:

"It took us a long time and great efforts to redesign the interface. At the beginning, over a dozen interface sketches were suggested, but only one was chosen.

Lots of image files and more than a hundred icons were created for this interface.

I hope users will enjoy the new interface - our team has done its best to make it."


Adaptive Interface advantages

The Adaptive Interface of the system helps users to:

  • facilitate integration, reduce web project expenses - it is not necessary to read documentation or get additional consultation to perform most operations. You simply start working;
  • reduce training costs - to manage the web site, it is sufficient to have experience in office applications. There is no need for new managers to undergo special training; they can start the work process immediately;
  • make basic operations faster; avoid routine - all the frequently used operations are optimized;
  • reduce mistakes - the Adaptive Interface eliminates mistakes, minimizes repair time.

The Adaptive Interface is continuously improved. All the latest available interface updates can be downloaded using SiteUpdate.

SiteUpdate

The unique SiteUpdate Technology was developed to make the update process and downloading new modules easier. All the latest system updates and modules can be downloaded from the Bitrix website via the Control Panel of your website. System updates affect only the Bitrix Site Manager system core and do not cause data loss in the public section of the site.

SiteUpdate Technology

The product license key is automatically requested during the updating process. Upon checking for new updates, a site administrator is invited to choose modules that are to be updated. All the updates and new modules are compressed before they are sent to the user. Data compression reduces time and increases the download speed.

Thus, the site administrator can always keep the system core up-to-date and quickly obtain new Bitrix Site Manager modules.

The commercial version includes a lifetime license for two web sites, and 1 year of free technical support and updates. You can extend the support and updates subscription period.


Performance

Bitrix Site Manager takes on any load

Every edition of Bitrix Site Manager has been stress tested for heavy traffic, and the results were exemplary.

Built for scalability, Bitrix Site Manager instills confidence in site owners to fashion compelling experiences for users at lightning speeds. Its seamless integration with almost any hardware gives site administrators the power to scale the portal to cater to higher traffic and download needs.

All versions of Bitrix Site Manager have been tested with databases like Oracle and MySQL by parameters such as average hits per second, average answer interval, total pages loaded, waiting period, server response time, ping time, installation time, patch update time, and more, which were then measured against the industry’s best. Not only was Bitrix Site Manager on par concerning major indicators, but it also had better performance scores in many other parameters.

Here’s a peek at some of the highlights of this stress testing:

  • The Start Edition was able to handle over 6 Million hits successfully in less than 24 hours
  • The Enterprise Edition was able to handle over 17 Million hits successfully in less than 24 hours

Equipped with tools like Auto Cache and Performance Monitor, Bitrix Site Manager is the right choice for site managers who want to go the extra mile to ensure against site breakdown at peak load levels.

Innovative Auto-cache technology empowers site developers and administrators to run websites hosted on virtual servers at optimum speeds. Auto-Cache mode can be easily configured with a single button on the administrative panel and is completely supported by all application components.

Tools such as Performance Monitor help track and solve website efficiency problems by performing top-to-bottom analysis, drilling down to pages, hits, query-to-result, etc. It also generates detailed analytical reports based on statistics collected on back-end databases, scripts, memory used, and page & query execution time.
