Case Study: Mystudenthalls.com achieves 40% faster website performance with Cloudflare Argo

Mystudenthalls.com offers the fastest service in their sector with Cloudflare’s Argo improving performance by over 40%

Mystudenthalls.com is the UK’s first and most comprehensive student hall search engine, used by tens of thousands of students each month to browse thousands of image‑heavy listings. As the site expanded internationally and grew its catalogue, the team needed to maintain consistently fast load times for geographically dispersed users and ensure pages and images loaded almost instantly despite rising traffic and content volume.

Mystudenthalls adopted Cloudflare’s suite — including Argo Smart Routing, CDN, Railgun, Mirage and Polish — to route traffic on the fastest paths, cache static content in 200 cities, reduce origin pulls for dynamic content, and optimize image delivery. The changes delivered a 40% improvement in time‑to‑first‑byte from Argo alone, faster overall page loads, lower bandwidth costs and a consistent user experience worldwide.
