The Need
Challenges
Legacy Redundancy
The existing codebase was a labyrinth of legacy components, a testament to the evolution of the site over time. This resulted in reduced maintainability, hampering the agility required to adapt to changing market demands.
Conversion Woes
A significant portion of users, especially from certain device groups, were abandoning their purchasing journey. This threatened the site's revenue potential and required a comprehensive understanding of user behaviour.
Performance Bottlenecks
The site's high traffic was causing performance bottlenecks, leading to sluggish loading times, which in turn negatively impacted user engagement and satisfaction.
Strategies and Solutions
Code Consolidation
Our team meticulously assessed and consolidated the redundant legacy code, untangling the intricate web of dependencies. This not only improved the site's maintainability but also laid the foundation for future enhancements.
Holistic Evaluation
We conducted an in-depth evaluation of the entire site, identifying pain points and areas for improvement. This assessment provided a comprehensive roadmap for optimization.
Performance Enhancement
By implementing various performance optimisation techniques, such as caching, code minification, and image compression, we significantly improved loading times. This transformation directly contributed to enhanced user experience and engagement.
Strategic UX Tweaks
Understanding the user journey allowed us to make strategic tweaks to critical places in the buying journey interface. We ensured that the buying process is seamless across all devices, reducing the drop-off rate and increasing conversions.
Documentation
Critical sections of the site's code were thoroughly documented. This not only aided the development team but also streamlined onboarding of new personnel and facilitated future troubleshooting.
