Case Study: Snopes improves site performance and scalability with Human Made

Snopes improves performance for 12–20 million monthly visitors with Human Made

Snopes, America's leading fact-checking website, faced challenges with unpredictable traffic spikes of 12-20 million monthly visitors and needed a hosting solution that could ensure high performance and availability. They approached Human Made to migrate their hosting stack to the vendor's fully managed digital experience platform, Altis, to refocus on their core publishing business.

Human Made successfully migrated Snopes to their cloud infrastructure, implementing a well-defined DevOps process and rebuilding the production pipeline with Webpack. This solution improved site performance through code minification and modern development practices, significantly reducing the amount of code served to users and speeding up the site. The project was delivered quickly, giving the Snopes team confidence and enhanced knowledge of WordPress.
