43. Don't use RealURL
to fetch the product name
→ add it manually as #my-product-name

44. Keep CHash as part of URL
→ storing in database is slow

45. RealURL CHash bug
prevents caching the page
→ use http://www.arcavias.com/get-realurl

46. Less products (default: 48)
→ creating links is expensive

47. Current status

48. Arcavias TYPO3 extension is still beta

49. … not complete yet ...

50. … but already used in projects for our
customers
