The Challenge
Slow Page Load Times
The website faced significant delays in page load times, particularly during high traffic periods. This affected the overall performance and user satisfaction.
Decreased User Engagement
Due to lagging site performance, user engagement dropped. Visitors were frustrated by the slow response times, leading to higher bounce rates and less time spent browsing.
Poor Conversion Rates
Frustration from slow page loads resulted in poor conversion rates. Users abandoned their shopping carts or left the site entirely, decreasing revenue potential.
Scalability Issues
The website infrastructure struggled to handle high traffic loads, causing slowdowns and potential crashes during peak sales periods.
Inefficient Technical Architecture
Outdated systems and unoptimized code contributed to performance bottlenecks, requiring a technical overhaul to improve efficiency.
Mobile Performance Challenges
Mobile users experienced even slower load times, leading to poor mobile shopping experiences and increased cart abandonment. Business Impact and Results
