Site Optimisation

In the process of building a website there can often be a variety of plugins, modules, styling and javascript added that don’t make it to the final version used for initial deployment. These unused additions are not harmless though; they add bulk to the website, both in processing time on the servers, and transfer time to the visitor. Some developers may simply ignore these unused components, but we know they have an effect on visitor experience, so we will always declutter a website before initial deployment.

As well as reducing file size, we can go one step further in increasing file transfer speeds between the server and the visitor’s browser. There are many tools that we utilise for this, including use of caching and pre-processing requests; highly available content delivery networks; file transfer through compression; and many more tricks. Our aim is to reduce strain on both server and browser to create a delightful browsing experience.

Website security is a big deal for prospective web endeavours. Visitors need to know that their browsing is secure and not available to potential malicious attacks. Web security is even more important when we introduce forms that collect personal, financial, or banking information. We optimise web security from the server-side and the client-side, ensuring server resilience, website instance integrity, and secure communication between server and browser.
