Overview

What does a website look like for a business that sells code? For ShipEngine, makers
of widely used shipping and logistics APIs, the answer was clear. Keep it clean,
easy to use, and lightning fast. Then sprinkle in some sexy code snippets 🙂

## Performance testing and project outcomes

In the lead up to launch, we noticed the site underperforming our expectations in
a few key speed tests. Once we identified the problem—a caching issue—we were able
to recompress certain assets and improve load times for the areas in question. Then
we performed the same tests once the site was in its final hosting environment to
make sure it stayed snappy.

So far all signs are pointing to increased visitor engagement and an improved user
experience. Anecdotal responses are overwhelming positive, but as we collect more
data, we’ll be able to tell which changes are having the most profound impact on
their ultimate goal: getting new sign ups. Launching a new site should have an immediate
positive effect, but it takes ongoing testing and optimization to get the most out
of it.
