Case Study: KPMG cuts load time to 1.7s and boosts engagement 19% with Whitehat Agency

KPMG cuts load time to 1.7s with Whitehat Agency

The customer, KPMG Australia, faced performance challenges with its knowledge-heavy website, which had become slow due to oversized media and legacy scripts. This resulted in a 2.9-second load time on mobile and falling user engagement. Whitehat Agency was engaged to perform a web design and performance engineering overhaul.

Whitehat Agency implemented a full-stack performance and UX overhaul, which included code slimming, a migration to a new hosting platform, and the introduction of real-time speed governance. This solution cut the average page load time to 1.7 seconds, achieved a 26% improvement in the sitewide page-speed score, and increased user engagement by 19%.
