Castorama boosts page load speed to 1.8 seconds with Strix

Castorama Polska, a major home improvement retailer in Poland, faced the challenge of supporting very high traffic on its e-commerce site while ensuring fast page loads and a seamless omnichannel experience for its consumers. To address this, they partnered with vendor Strix to implement a headless commerce solution.

Strix implemented a headless commerce model that separated the frontend and backend layers of the sales platform, allowing them to communicate via API. This solution significantly boosted site performance, decreasing page load time to 1.8 seconds and achieving a score of 97 out of 100 in a website speed test. The results provided a faster, more flexible, and better personalized shopping experience for Castorama's users.
