Case Study: Micro‑Star International (MSI) achieves sub‑1‑second page loads and 80% reduced web management costs with Akamai Technologies

Akamai helps MSI improve its site performance and decrease page load time to under one second

MSI, a leading gaming and e‑sports hardware brand, faced inconsistent website performance and service quality across its international sites, which were managed by local retailers. As MSI expanded globally it needed a unified, centrally managed web presence to ensure a consistent user experience, reduce overseas infrastructure and staffing costs, and better support its growing customer base.

MSI adopted Akamai Web Performance Solutions to centralize site management and accelerate delivery. The implementation cut page load times to under one second, enabled support for tens of millions of monthly visitors, drove a 10% annual increase in web traffic, and reduced web management infrastructure and internal manpower by 80%, while earning positive feedback from customers and retailers.
