Application Performance Optimization

Dramatically improve application performance through systematic analysis and optimization of code, database, caching, and infrastructure. Turn slow, frustrating experiences into fast, delightful ones.

Why You Need This Service

Poor performance directly impacts revenue through user abandonment, reduced conversions, and churn. Studies show every 100ms of latency reduces conversions by 7%. Performance isn't just technical - it's a business imperative.

Total

$30,000-$100,000 comprehensive optimization

Expected ROI

Improved conversions, reduced churn, and lower infrastructure costs

5-20% improvement in conversion rates30% reduction in user abandonment3-10x faster page load times25% lower infrastructure costs10-15% increase in customer satisfaction$200,000-$1M revenue impact

Success Story

E-commerce company, slow site driving cart abandonment

Challenge

Page load times averaging 6.8 seconds. Mobile even worse at 9.2 seconds. Cart abandonment rate 78%. Database queries timing out during traffic spikes. Customer complaints constant. A/B test showed every 1 second of delay reduced conversions 12%. Losing $100,000+/month.

Solution

Fractional CTO led systematic optimization. Added database indexes reducing queries from 8s to 80ms. Implemented Redis caching. Optimized images and assets. Added CDN. Lazy-loaded non-critical JavaScript. Tuned database connection pooling. Load tested and validated improvements.

Results

Page load times reduced to 0.9 seconds (7.5x improvement). Mobile down to 1.3 seconds. Cart abandonment dropped to 64%. Conversion rate increased 18%. Infrastructure costs decreased 30% despite higher traffic. Customer satisfaction scores improved 42%. Estimated $85,000/month revenue improvement.

Timeline: 7 weeks from audit to deployment
