Case Study: Hockey Canada achieves 90% faster load times and seamless peak traffic performance with Agility CMS

90% Load Time improvement in Hockey Canada’s Performance During Peak Times

Hockey Canada needed a flexible, secure content management solution that could withstand massive traffic spikes during major hockey events. After evaluating platforms, Hockey Canada selected Agility CMS to rebuild its site because of the platform’s enterprise performance and CMS capabilities; the immediate challenge was ensuring the site would not fail under expected record-breaking traffic for an international tournament.

Agility CMS (with partner Point Alliance) analyzed past peak loads, provisioned a scalable application and hosting environment, and developed and tested a new caching algorithm and load scenarios to ensure stability. The result: page load times improved by about 90% during peak traffic, CPU usage dropped over 60%, the site hit three new traffic records and served millions of page views without glitches — demonstrating Agility CMS’s ability to deliver reliable, high-performance results.
