Case Study: Barncancerfonden achieves stable, scalable gala fundraising with Optimizely CMS

Barncancerfonden relies on Optimizely CMS for its annual gala and year-round fundraising activities

Barncancerfonden, a Swedish charity fighting childhood cancer, needed a secure and future-proof website that could handle heavy fundraising traffic—especially during its annual Children’s Gala, when online donations spike dramatically. The organization relies on Optimizely CMS, with development partner Authority, to power its website and donation flow.

Optimizely helped Barncancerfonden implement a cloud-based setup that scales for major events, increases site capacity, and keeps the donation experience fast and reliable. Since the solution was put in place, the gala traffic surge has been handled without issues, scaling from two up to 10 servers as needed, and user satisfaction has remained strong with average website ratings around 4.6/5.0.
