The first step towards building a well-optimized website is choosing a well-optimized web builder!

iFOLIO is built with performance as a top priority, employing several key strategies that ensure quick loading:

• Demand-Driven Load Balancer: iFOLIO utilizes a well-configured AWS infrastructure at the server level. This ensures an even distribution of the web traffic across multiple instances, enhancing fault tolerance under high traffic conditions.

• Individual Page Optimization: Each web page that you generate is intelligently stored in an auto-scaling Amazon Elasticache cluster. This not only ensures rapid loading but also contributes to a scalable and responsive user experience.

• High-Performance Servers: iFOLIO employs arrays of high-performance servers that can be easily scaled to handle increased loads, ensuring optimal performance during peak times.

Under a load of 1200 hits in the same second, iFOLIO averaged a loading time of 250 milliseconds. Under normal loads, the HTML page load speed is even higher, promising a swift and seamless user experience.

iFOLIO delivers industry-leading strategies and follows modern technical recommendations to optimize page load performance and visitor experience. This includes:

• Image Optimization: iFOLIO adapts and compresses images to ensure quick loading without compromising quality.

• Content Compression: Content is compressed during transmission to clients, reducing the time it takes for pages to load.

• Backend Optimization: Software scripts are minified to eliminate unnecessary code, enhancing overall performance.

• Elimination of Blocking Code: iFOLIO ensures that there is minimal blocking code, further improving the responsiveness of the platform.

While iFOLIO offers unlimited content and is built for optimized loading and performance, there are a few steps you can take to ensure top-tier performance.

Adding Images & Graphics

• File size of less than 5MB for graphics and images.

• Use JPEG files instead of PNGs when possible for even faster loading.

Using Video & GIFs

• Use only a single video per page when possible.

• If multiple videos are necessary, try to avoid placing them in close proximity.

• GIF file sizes should be less than 1MB.

Adding Animated Charts

• Avoid having multiple animated charts in the same view. 

Choosing Fonts

• Use the fewest number of fonts possible to further optimize load times. 

Ensuring Mobile Responsiveness

• iFOLIO layouts are mobile responsive by default.

• Preview iFOLIO to ensure content appears exactly as you intend on both desktop and mobile views.
