Company mission
To build a web without loading times.
Our take
As attention spans are decreasing due to an on-demand digital world, expectations from eCommerce platforms are rising, meaning companies must do everything they can to capture a potential customer's attention. However, long loading times and unoptimised web content make this difficult, and fixing it is often not a solution due to slow servers and high traffic.
Speed Kit (formerly Baqend) provides an all-in-one web page optimisation platform, focused on leveraging offloaded servers to decrease the loading time of webpages. The tool operates as a platform in addition to integrating with WordPress and Plesk, providing additional benefits to webpage's such as automatic browser and CDN caching, image optimisation, accelerated personalisation, and PWA capabilities.
Whilst many businesses will choose to streamline their server infrastructure to fix the problems that Speed Kit solves, the company has been wise to recognise that this can be complex, identifying the demand for a unified, easy-to-use, and end-to-end solution. The company claims that through its optimisations, companies will provide a better UX experience that will ultimately lead to more engagement and thus sales.
