We’ve realised there is a lack of knowledge out there when it comes to make websites faster.

We’ve been working in a number of ecommerce companies for almost 10 years and we’re surprised at the lack of understanding of basic web and database optimisation. We given a couple of talks at WDANZ, Summer of Code and eGovt Barcamp over the past 12 months and it seems that the message is still not getting through.

Why does it matter?

“We see a direct correlation between the speed of our services and our bottom line.

Our customers seem inclined to spend a set time on our site per session – the more pages they can few in that time, the more they see and buy, and the more we earn.”
