By reducing page load times more than 40%, Microsoft's website http://sharepoint2010.microsoft.com feels more "snappy", has faster load times, and consumes half the bandwidth.

What we did

• Added Aptimize Website Accelerator (WAX) to the site
• Hand-optimized the Silverlight controls

This is a standard Aptimize offering, and the same benefits are available to every Aptimize customer.

The results

Before optimization, the website load times were:

• 10.5 seconds for domestic visitors
• 13.3 seconds for international visitors
• 1.7 MB in page size

After optimization, the website load times were:

• Reduced 43% to 5.9 seconds for domestic visitors
• Reduced 54% to 6.1 seconds for international visitors
• Reduced page size 49% to 0.9 MB
• The "start render" (time people see a blank page before it draws) was reduced by half
