Performance
Econify performed an audit and rewrite of MotorTrend's entire stack, resulting in a performance increase of 650% and revenue spike of 35%.
Challenge
What happens when your website struggles to perform and you lose audience engagement? Revenue decreases, readers become dissatisfied with the product and ultimately go elsewhere for their content. An audit conducted by Econify found that MotorTrend's website suffered from severe performance issues with 24-second load times. It was time to put that right.
Goals

No user wants to see the spinning wheel of a site loading. The audit we conducted, clearly identified the goals for the project which were clear and simple:

  1. Dramatically improve page performance.
  2. Increase ad viewability.
  3. Enhance user engagement to prevent bounce rate.
Solution

Having completed a comprehensive site audit, a number of recommendations were outputted and they became the north star for all technology decisions. We embarked on a migration project which resulted in moving MotorTrend to a modern cloud infrastructure, a re-architecting of the technology stack, including implementation of React with new article templates, and the implementation of modern performance optimization techniques. Econify's experienced team lead and supported the MotorTrend development team throughout to ensure successful delivery.

Business Value

A project that led to enormous business value for MotorTrend. Having created one of the world's fastest article templates, we significantly reduced operational costs for MotorTrend. This, combined with a substantial increase in revenue from advertising through reduced bounce rates, meant this project had a fundamental and tangible effect on the MotorTrend's bottom line.
