Case Study: Head Of The Charles Regatta achieves flawless race-day performance with Pantheon

Head Of The Charles Regatta® Sees Smooth Sailing for Their Online Experience on Pantheon

Head Of The Charles Regatta, the largest two-day regatta in the world, needed its website to handle massive race-weekend traffic, deliver real-time race updates, and avoid the outages it had experienced on AWS. The organization worked with Pantheon and agency Connelly Partners to replatform its WordPress site ahead of the event.

Pantheon enabled Connelly Partners to redesign and migrate the site with a modular WordPress build, then test it against twice the expected traffic before launch. On race weekend, the site remained fast, responsive, and stable under nearly half a million visits, with monitoring, cache clearing, and production updates handled quickly through Pantheon tools.
