Difficult Problems From A Complex System

Owning and operating such a large system, Supersports Vietnam faced numerous challenges with their website performance, leading to an unsatisfactory customer experience. These challenges encompass:

Slow Loading Times

The website suffered from sluggish loading speeds, clocking in at only 6x on desktop and a mere 3x on mobile. This significantly impacted user experience and conversion rates, as customers grew impatient waiting for pages to load.

Recognizing the need for improvement, Supersports Vietnam sought a reliable e-commerce solution provider to address these critical issues. Their primary objectives were:
