Website Performance Tuning

The load time of websites is one of the most important factors affecting its usability; most users will just skip a site altogether if it fails to load within a couple of seconds. We offer our services to optimize the performance of your site by fine tuning the database, web server and code base developed by other vendor.

Performance optimization of websites is divided into three parts i.e. Hardware Resources, Website Platform and application. So first of all, we evaluate the hardware resources for the website before profiling or analyzing the website source code and database queries.

Hardware is generally not something which can be tuned – we can pay to upgrade it, or potentially upgrade the operating system to take advantage of new hardware optimizations. As the user load grows on the website, application tried to use maximum hardware resources like RAM, CPU etc. so it become necessary to upgrade the hardware resources once user loads grow on the website.

After hardware configurations,we look at the configuration of webserver and database server and try to optimize the performance by fine tuning them. We also try to replace the inefficient server with the optimized webserver and sometimes uses reverse proxy to distribute the load between the web server and proxy. We also optimize the settings to send the compressed data with the caching static data on client side which results in less http load and better performance on the website. Ideally Most of the memory on the system should be consumed by database as most of the processing is done in database for typical website. We fine tune the database to use the caching and to execute the queries quickly. Lastly we try to use more efficient caching solution and fine tune it according to the system requirements.

Once configuration of webserver and database is done then we study existing queries  and found that queries which are not written in optimized manner. We rewrite queries to generate more optimized queries result in decrease execution speed of the query which delivers results faster and void the problem of the table locking & crashing.

We have improved the performance of site like kidspot, Birth forum, social Kidspot Australia, Social Kidspot New zealand , lacubanada and many more websites. social kidspot site loads almost 4400% faster than the previous version. The sites loads pretty fast and almost have 150K+ pages hit every week after the migration.
