Epic Sports is an Online Discount Store that offers the largest selection of equipment, jerseys, and fan gear for soccer, football, baseball, basketball, and more.
Epic Sports's Challenge
Epic Sports was looking to create a faster shopping experience on their mobile site in order to offer a more optimal experience for their customers, as well as be prepared for Google’s Core Web Vital roll-out.
To achieve this, Epic Sports signed on to use Edgio Expert Services to implement Edgio Applications.
Epic Sports's Solution
Edgio’s applications provided the ability to cache dynamic assets and pages at the edge, which allows responses to be served nearly instantaneously. By leveraging that cache, pages and assets can be pre-fetched ahead of the user’s click, effectively serving the subsequent page up at sub-second speeds.
Edgio continued real-time monitoring of Epic Sports’ cache hit rates, routes performance, and query parameters through Edgio’s platform, which provided easily digestible data for iterations to improve site performance and speed continually.
What Edgio did:
- Installed Edgio solutions
- Modified the origin mobile site to allow for caching
