Case Study: Dub saves $12,000 a year in bandwidth with LottieFiles

DUB saves $12,000 a year in bandwidth with LottieFiles

Dub, a modern link attribution platform, faced significant performance and cost challenges during a homepage redesign. Their use of Rive animations resulted in massive 5MB files, leading to high bandwidth costs and unmanageable engineering overhead. This created a bottleneck that threatened to undermine the user experience they were trying to create with motion design.

LottieFiles provided a solution by enabling Dub to rebuild and export their animations in the optimized Lottie and dotLottie formats. This switch drastically reduced file sizes, eliminated lag, and saved the company an estimated $12,000 per year in bandwidth costs. The transition to LottieFiles' ecosystem provided a production-ready, scalable motion strategy that transformed animation from a technical liability into a core performant asset for their product.
