Case Study: Pepperfry achieves secure, faster, and cost-efficient site performance with Akamai Technologies

Akamai helps Pepperfry deliver a secure, fast and consistent user experience on any device, anywhere

Pepperfry, India’s leading online furniture and home marketplace serving over 2 million customers and listing 80,000+ products through a managed marketplace, needed to protect its brand and ensure a consistently fast experience across devices. With rising traffic from marketing campaigns and a competitive market, Pepperfry required always-on availability, reduced load on its origin servers, and the ability to seamlessly handle traffic spikes while keeping customer data secure.

Akamai provided a global CDN, route optimization and cloud security (including a Web Application Firewall), offloading about 85% of Pepperfry’s content and delivering content via Akamai’s optimized path roughly 70% of the time—often up to 2× faster. The deployment yielded 24/7 protection against threats, faster page and checkout performance, higher customer satisfaction and sales, and reduced infrastructure costs.
