Case Study Quad Bike King

Giles Donovan, the CEO of Quad Bike King, a family business offering tours in Port Stephens, was in a predicament. He couldn't stand the thought of potential customers bouncing due to a slow website, but he also didn't want to keep spending over $100 an hour for his web developer to optimise content every time they did website updates. Initially, Giles tried Cloudflare but soon realised he'd have to pay $200 US to get Australian data centers and a specific feature. That's when he decided to approach Peakhour.

Dan from Peakhour saw an opportunity to help Giles and his business. He knew that the key to success was speeding up the site, reducing bounce rates, and saving valuable developer time and money. This would free up resources that could be spent elsewhere to grow the business.

Starting out on Peakhour's basic plan, Quad Bike King experienced significant gains in load times due to Peakhour's automated image optimisation, format conversion, file minification, and caching. Other major benefits included serving clients using HTTP version 2, automatically rewriting page links to HTTPS, and forcing all requests to occur over a secure connection.

The results spoke for themselves: $ saved that could be spent elsewhere, a 3.5-second improvement in load times, and a 1.3 MB reduction in page weight. Giles couldn't have been happier with the outcome.

"Getting started with Peakhour was trivial, and the end result has been fantastic. If I said, put your website behind Peakhour and your sales will go up 50%, I wouldn't be exaggerating much!" Giles raved.
