Case Study: Parts Express achieves sub-second page loads and 99.99% uptime with Znode

Parts Express Drastically Improves Site Performance and Stability with Znode’s Integrations

Parts Express, an Internet Retailer 500 company selling audio/video parts, struggled with poor performance, instability, and security risks from a custom ColdFusion cart that couldn’t handle peak traffic or conversions. To address this, Parts Express engaged Znode and implemented Znode’s Multifront (.NET) platform and recommended integrations.

Znode delivered a PA-DSS–certified .NET solution with full source access and integrations (inRiver for PIM, Endeca for search/navigation, plus payment and shipping APIs), resulting in a reliable, secure store that runs on fewer front-end servers. Measurable impacts include page load times falling from ~6 seconds to under 1 second on faceted pages, site uptime above 99.99%, the ability to support ~8 million unique visitors per month, and reduced maintenance and hardware costs.
