“For an internet business, speed and latency issues are unacceptable,” said Matthias Spörlein, Web Development and Operations Director at TuneUp. “If pages fail to load in a few seconds or downloads become laborious, people won’t stick around and that just isn’t an option for us. CDNetworks Dynamic Web Acceleration allows us to expand anywhere in the world with optimal web performance.” Another top priority for TuneUp was the global reach of the solution. “A big factor in our selection was around availability of Points of Presence (POPs) that CDNetworks had in all of the regions we support, particularly in emerging markets like Asia where we were seeing a spike in sales. The solution has really enhanced the user experience in all our target markets and the site’s reactivity makes it behave as if we have local offices everywhere,” Spörlein added. In addition, TuneUp started seeing much lower bounce rates – the number of users who come to the site, visit a single page and leave without browsing other pages – immediately after implementing the solution. CDNetworks’ Dynamic Web Acceleration also enabled TuneUp to realise cost and time savings, freeing up resources internally to add content and make the site “stickier” and more interesting for users. “In terms of ensuring optimal web performance and boosting our efficiency as a team, CDNetworks’ Dynamic Web Acceleration has proved to be a major benefit to TuneUp,” added Spörlein.
