"Thanks to Speed Kit, our website’s performance improvement is now absolutely noticeable and significant! We were impressed by the quick and easy integration process, which required only a few simple steps without any changes needed in our own backend."
Solution
Intersport was able to accelerate its website within days using Speed Kit's unique browser-based technology, which enables caching of highly dynamic websites. After a quick and simple integration on the Intersports website and a tailored configuration by the Speed Kit team specifically for their Shopware shop, web performance and speed were immediately enhanced. The improvements were evident in Core Web Vitals such as Time to First Byte and Largest Contentful Paint, resulting in an improved customer experience.
