Case Study: Teaching Me achieves faster Magento marketplace performance with Whidegroup

Teaching Me speeds up load time by 71% with Whidegroup

Teaching Me, a prominent Australian e-learning marketplace built on Magento, was experiencing unsatisfactory site load speeds, with its homepage taking over 20 seconds to fully load. The company engaged vendor Whidegroup, who identified several major performance bottlenecks including an unoptimized server, low-quality third-party extensions, poorly optimized images, and a lack of page caching.

Whidegroup's Magento performance optimization solution involved changing to a dedicated Australian hosting provider, merging and minifying CSS and JS files, optimizing all images, replacing and fixing faulty extensions, and installing a Full Page Cache extension. These efforts resulted in a load time reduction from over 20 seconds to just 4 seconds. Subsequently, the client reported a 42% increase in user sessions and a 23% increase in conversion rate.
