Collaborating with a team of Drupal specialists, the company set its sights on optimizing the performance of its Drupal-based website, with a key focus on improving the user experience for mobile visitors.
This comprehensive case study enters into the challenges faced by LORD Corporation and the innovative strategies employed to bolster its website's performance. The optimization process to tackle slow loading times started with meticulously examining the website's performance metrics using tools like NewRelic, Google PageSpeed Insights, and WebPageTest. The analysis laid the foundation for strategic enhancements to streamline server and client-side aspects.

Server-side optimizations include
- fine-tuning caching mechanisms,
- optimizing database configurations, and
- systematically addressing performance bottlenecks.
Meanwhile, client-side improvements involved
- judicious inlining of critical JavaScript code,
- eliminating redundant third-party scripts, and
- optimizing the delivery of custom fonts.
The results of these efforts speak volumes. LORD Corporation witnessed a remarkable 52% reduction in server-side processing time, translating to a swift and seamless user experience. Average page load times, a critical factor for user engagement, plummeted from 15 seconds to a more captivating 8-12 seconds, with particular attention given to enhancing mobile performance. This transformation has elevated user satisfaction and opened doors to increased engagement and extended client relationships.
