Case Study: Bally achieves 81% faster page downloads and 97% origin data reduction in China with CDNetworks

Bally boosts online presence in China with CDNetworks

Bally, the Swiss luxury leather-goods brand founded in 1851, expanded into China with a dedicated site (www.bally.cn) to reach the country’s booming luxury market. The site’s high-resolution images and videos, combined with China’s Great Firewall, localization requirements and a fragmented network topology, created slow page downloads, uneven connectivity and risks to uptime and e-commerce performance.

Bally deployed CDNetworks’ content acceleration and China Acceleration services (25 PoPs in mainland China) to optimise delivery for local conditions. The result: page download times fell by 81%, origin data transfer dropped 97%, site reliability and uptime improved, peak-period capacity scaled smoothly (e.g., Chinese New Year), and high-bandwidth media loaded consistently while lowering local ISP costs.
