Case Study: HolidayIQ.com achieves doubled traffic, 100% site availability and 93% origin bandwidth offload with Akamai Technologies' Web Experience Solution

HolidayIQ.com improved its site performance, site availability by 100% and boosted website traffic growth using Akamai's Web Experience Solution

HolidayIQ.com is India’s largest holiday information portal, serving about 5 million users monthly with listings for roughly 30,000 hotels and 1,300 destinations. Rapid, exponential traffic growth was overloading its origin servers and degrading user experience, so the company needed to reduce origin load, improve end‑user transaction performance, and handle unpredictable traffic spikes to protect its market leadership.

HolidayIQ implemented Akamai’s Web Performance (Web Experience) solutions, extending content to Akamai’s global edge platform and leveraging continuous monitoring and support. The result was dramatically improved stability and performance: site traffic doubled within three months, origin bandwidth offload reached 93% (origin request offload 94%), and the site achieved 100% availability.
