Intro to website performance
🏎️
Good code is fast. Do more with less.
Slow websites suck but are a reality. Website speed matters for your users, for SEO and your hosting budget.
No silver bullets
A common misconception is that a powerful web server alone will make a website run fast. 'Buy a fast server' is naive and wrong advice, we think.
While we provide scalable hosting services, it's important to understand that simply adding more hosting power won't necessarily improve performance. Effective performance requires understanding and coding skills. You, the web developer, have most responsibility when it comes to website performance.
Throwing more money at a hosting problem will rarely fix it.
Not all websites are alike
Your milage may vary. For some websites or individual pages, an execution time of 500 ms might be acceptable, while for others it might not be. Individually built websites have unique performance patterns as well. We support a wide range of different applications using software systems such as Laravel, Symfony, Craft CMS, WordPress and many more.
