Case Study: Rail Europe achieves 2.5x faster global website performance and mobile-optimized UX with CDNetworks

CDNetworks puts Rail Europe websites on the fast track

Rail Europe 4A, a Paris-based company that sells European train tickets to customers around the world via multilingual, multi-currency websites, faced growing performance problems as its business expanded. Customers in distant regions experienced slow or “frozen” pages, and the company needed a scalable architecture that would deliver consistent response times and enable mobile-optimized sites.

Rail Europe implemented CDNetworks' CDN to cache content closer to users, rapidly roll out global points of presence, and tune configurations with expert support. The result: frozen pages disappeared, response times were cut (about 2.5× faster), users worldwide now see nearly the same performance, and Rail Europe can deliver improved visuals and mobile/tablet-optimized websites—boosting the overall user experience and satisfaction.
