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
