Amit Chhangani

Founder, Editor at Motoroids

“WisdmLabs comprises of professionals who believe in listening patiently to their clients. Unlike most other IT companies I worked with in the past, the team members at WisdmLabs have always lent a patient and careful ear to the issues at hand, and then, have careful charted a strategy to resolve it. Communication is one of the biggest strengths of this team and you are updated about the proceedings during every step of a project. This eliminates the chances of any disagreements or confusion at a later stage, which more often than not causes delays in a project. I must congratulate, Rohan, Dhawal Bargir and Sumit Pore from the team for handling the projects with Motoroids outstandingly well. I am also impressed by the team’s propensity to learn new technologies and put in extra hours for you without complaining in a bid to understand better what may sometimes be a something they are not experienced enough with. Web technology is fast changing, and the team at WisdmLabs is not afraid to take up a challenge that a fresh new technology offers. The team at WisdmLabs is always game for trying new things out – they face the tribulations bravely, and eventually deliver in style. Finally, I must also appreciate the team’s inclination to pay attention to post-project hiccups and their diligence in ironing the issues out. The team has always lent Motoroids support promptly as and when we stumbled upon minor issues which are quite usual to crop up after a fresh project. I am extremely satisfied by the services of WisdmLabs thus far, and look forward to a very long relationship with this promising fledgling tech company. I wish the team at WisdmLabs all the very best in all their future endeavors!”

Technologies we used

The client has a cars and bikes review and news website. This website involved a lot of posts with images and videos, and featured many advertisements. Also the website was quite popular, which implied that page load speed was a key factor to keep visitors engaged.

What were the client’s requirements?

When we analyzed the website, it was apparent that the main specification by the client was to improve the performance of the site. There were also a few feature requests, but improving the page loading speed was the priority.

Along with additional requirements, the client basically needed the following:

    • Performance Optimization of the website
    • Adding Google Custom Search
    • Making header responsive
    • Restructuring Banners

How did we provide a solution?

Improving the site’s performance
A lot of investigation and research was part of the solution process. We had to investigate plugins that were slow, using a performance profiler. Also, the site was currently on an Apache server. Upon detailed discussion with the client about the site analysis, we concluded that it was best to move the site from Apache to nginx server. This involved

    • Replicating the site on a staging server
    • Configuration of nginx with latest PHP-FPM on replicated server
    • Installed and Configured Google Pagespeed
    • Made the site on Nginx server live

Adding a Google custom search module.
The search feature on the existing site was limited, but for the vast content the site provided, the client needed a powerful and intelligent search box in place. For this, the client especially requested provision of custom Google search, for which the Google custom search API was integrated into the site.

Other aspects included making a few elements responsive.
