The fastest sites in New Zealand (yes, we’re in there!)
May 20, 2009 – 9:16 pmProjectX have published an interesting post about how well optimised New Zealand’s most popular websites are:
The bragging rights for NZ’s fastest webpage does not belong to Trade Me but to Land Transport at #1 and Canterbury University at #2. (Although Trade Me dominate the Top 10).
The key takeaway from this audit is the effect of too many page elements will kill download speed. Reducing the number of page elements will speed up the site!
We’re very happy to be among the fastest sites tested, coming in right behind Trade Me! Being one of New Zealand’s 75 most popular websites means that we need to pull all the stops to ensure fast, reliable access to every visitor and user.
Our server infastructure and development techniques take advantage of the latest technologies which keeps us ahead of the pack and maintains our position as leaders of New Zealand e-commerce integration.
We wouldn’t have it any other way.
