High-load optimization
What happens when a website regularly attracts thousands of visitors within a few seconds via push notifications about interesting offers? That's right, it's very likely to go offline.
Scenarios of this kind — or rather saving our customers from them — are part of our day-to-day business.
Do you expect a one-time or recurring influx of visitors that are significantly above your base load? Without appropriate optimization, your shop or website will most likely not be able to withstand this. In recent years, we have both prepared numerous platforms for appropriate scenarios (and successfully managed them through them) or stabilized acutely “drowning” shops run by operators who did not take action on optimization in time through immediate measures.
How we do this
1. Server structure analysis and flexible infrastructure options
We analyse your existing server structure for its strengths and weaknesses. Depending on requirements, the infrastructure can be expanded and rebuilt by us or by a third-party provider — we are flexible.
2. Strategic planning: needs analysis for your server infrastructure
In a joint discussion, we find out which scenarios you actually need to prepare yourself for — how many visitors do you expect in which period of time? Is it a one-time event or recurring peaks? Is a more highly available clustered solution needed? What visitor interactions should we expect (product review, conversion/ purchase, shopping cart)?
3. Identify optimization potential: Analyzing your web application
Our engineers analyze your web application. Thanks to years of experience, we quickly recognize where important adjustments lie and can often suggest the smallest changes that have a significant impact on the “cacheability” of your website — and which ultimately have a significant impact on how successful a high-load optimization is.
4. Tailored server infrastructure: Our offering for optimal performance
We analyse your existing server structure for its strengths and weaknesses. Depending on requirements, the infrastructure can be expanded and rebuilt by us or by a third-party provider — we are flexible.
5. Application profiling: The search for hidden performance factors
We then carry out so-called profiling of your application to find hidden performance guzzlers.
6. From planning to implementation: Our comprehensive support for your success
We set up the infrastructure, support the migration to it (or carry it out ourselves), check the effectiveness of the previously discussed measures at application level and carry out final load tests. And you've done it :-)
