FOCUS AREA
Challenge, approach, and impact
Optimizing for Low-Spec Devices and Low-Speed Internet
Providing a seamless user experience for African consumer markets with lower-spec devices and slower internet connection was a significant challenge. It was essential to develop a solution that would be light, fast, and easy to navigate.
Reduction of Bundle Size
The existing bundle size of the e-commerce site was a significant obstacle to achieving optimal performance. Reducing this while maintaining site functionality was a critical challenge.
