Case Study: Leader Summaries achieves 80-85% faster page loads and halts subscription churn with CDNetworks' Global CDN

Leader Summaries Proves the Value of Robust Website Performance across South America

Leader Summaries S.L., a Madrid-based media company founded in 2002, operates leadersummaries.com, a subscription library of business book abstracts that draws roughly 21,000 daily visitors and earns most revenue from Spain and South America. Rapid growth revealed severe performance problems: serving content from a single Spain datacenter produced latency and page-loads of 10–20 seconds across parts of South America, driving complaints and subscription cancellations that threatened the business model.

The company implemented CDNetworks’ global CDN (dynamic web acceleration, automated SSL, DDoS protection and Cloud DNS) rather than building a second datacenter. The rollout cut latency and download times by about 80–85%, bringing page loads down to roughly 1–1.6 seconds, which stopped performance-related cancellations, improved subscriber retention, attracted new customers and enabled future product and revenue expansion.
