🔍 The Case of Amacor Printz

Canadian-based design shop, Amacor Printz, came to us looking for a solution to their website performance issues. In our case study, we discovered that Amacor Printz was suffering from a performance index of 60 out of 100 and a speed index of 11.3 seconds. 

They looked to our Managed WordPress solution on Platform InMotion to help improve their user experience, reputation, and conversions. With the help of our PageSpeed Pro services, we were able to help Amacor Printz see a 153% improvement in performance with an index score of 92 and a load time of 0.7 seconds on desktop.

Here’s how we did it:

1. Amacor Printz migrated their WooCommerce site to our Managed WordPress UltraStack 6GB plan.
2. Then, our PageSpeed Pros team established a performance baseline.
3. Next, our team identified all opportunities for improvement in their website performance.
4. We leveraged and configured W3 Total Cache to enhance speed and user experience.
5. We conducted a thorough analysis of network requests to reduce the total size of data transferred.
