  • Unsure how your website is performing?
  • How does you site compare with your competitors?
  • Are you puzzling over an elusive performance issue?
  • Are third-party tags out of control and in need of an audit?

Understanding exactly how your website is performing is the first step towards improving it. That's exactly what our Performance Check will do for you.

Our Performance Check service is tailored to your specific needs following a conversation with one of our Performance Consultants. The output is typically a written report, with an opening summary, highlights, detailed results, and a list of actionable recommendations. You can optionally elect to have this report disseminated in a workshop-style meeting.

The bottom line? Improving page load times makes good business sense.

As well as the above well documented benefits, there are a whole host of other reasons to improve your website load times, such as reduced running costs, better site uptime and reliability, better brand image, and its even good for the environment and your carbon footprint.

Our Delivery Optimisation service provides you with an action plan detailing exactly how you can tackle your performance issues. It can either follow on from our Performance Check service, or it can be used to fix issues identified by you.

A range of different approaches are considered, from the easy wins like HTTP and image compression, different approaches to connection handling, caching, to more involved solutions such as the use of in-house or external CDNs, code refactoring, and even hardware re-architecture. Each website is unique, and as such all projects are unique. Our performance solutions will be designed to fit in around your specific needs and parameters, so why not contact us today to find out how we can help you?

Websites are increasingly complex, with content and data being pulled into your website from all around the globe. Understanding not only how your website responds to load, but how these third-parties do and how they impact you is essential if you want to deliver a smoothly running website.

With years of experience load testing all manner of websites (eCommerce, finance, travel, gambling and brochureware), BytesAway are your ideal partners when it comes to load testing your own website.

We break load testing projects down into six stages:

  1. Initiation - defining the goals and scope of the testing
  2. Preparation - identifying target components and systems to test
  3. Scripting - preparing load test scripts that test and flex your systems just how we want them to
  4. Testing - running the test scripts against your web application
  5. Analysis - detailed analysis and interpretation of the test results
  6. Conclusions - summary report, recommendations, and next steps.

While we prefer to project manage the whole process ourselves (we adopt a PRINCE2 methodology), we understand this doesn't always fit in with customer situations so are happy to step in and out of stages as needed.
