Case Study: Krytyka Improves Site Performance and Launches Discussion and eCommerce Features with QuartSoft

Krytyka cuts page load from 60 seconds to 5 with QuartSoft

Krytyka, an opinion-exchange web platform and journal for a non-profit organization, was struggling with a sluggish and unstable website that was losing traffic. Their challenges included extensive server load, browser incompatibility, and a need to integrate new features like a discussion forum and online store. They engaged the vendor QuartSoft, which utilized its eCommerce development expertise and the Drupal content management system to address these issues.

QuartSoft implemented a comprehensive solution that involved optimizing code, reconfiguring the server, and deploying the Varnish cache system. They also updated Drupal, applied a new theme for a modern design, enhanced the multi-language interface, and integrated the UberCart module for eCommerce. As a result, QuartSoft dramatically improved site performance, reducing the full page load time from 60 seconds to 5 seconds and increasing monthly unique visitors from 30,000 to 130,000, which helped Krytyka become a self-sustained platform.
