Case Study: Easy‑Forex achieves 50% faster trading performance and global scalability with Akamai Technologies

Easy-Forex Accelerates Its Online Foreign Exchange Trading Platform With Akamai

Easy‑Forex is a global online foreign‑exchange trading platform operating in 150+ countries that delivers real‑time, no‑download trading and market data. The company faced performance and congestion problems—notably in Australia, the Middle East and China—that caused slow page loads and refreshes, lost trading opportunities, and threatened availability and scalability as demand and richer Web 2.0 features were planned.

Easy‑Forex deployed Akamai’s Web Application Accelerator CDN and route‑optimization services to accelerate dynamic content and provide on‑demand capacity. The result was a reported 50% boost in application delivery, the ability to scale through peak trading periods without costly infrastructure, fewer dropped trades, improved DDoS resilience, and the successful launch of a richer trading platform that increased traffic and the customer base while maintaining a consistent global user experience.
