Drupal | Performance & Scaling

Cope with spikes in site traffic with ease

Retain your audiences by ensuring uninterrupted content delivery.

Do you have sites that can load lightning-fast, and scale to many millions of visitors per day?

Drupal powers sites that experience extreme traffic bursts, like the GRAMMY Awards and NBC Olympics, and big enterprises in need of multi-channel sites with custom content, such as Pfizer and weather.com.

Slow load time can hinder sites; according to Google, if a page takes longer than 3 seconds to load, the majority of site visitors will abandon the site. In turn, these bounces impact revenue generation.

Agile marketing has quickly become fundamental to many of the world’s largest companies.

Drupal’s built-in performance features — combined with a modern CDN provider — perform well under the pressure of load-balancing, supercharged databases and advanced caching. This scalability means Drupal delivers consistently across platforms — addressing the growing need for mobile to render quickly and effectively.

Drupal:

  • Ensures uptime without server outages
  • Runs more than a million checks a day for potential performance issues
  • Routes technology that dynamically scales across server clusters

We’ve found more quality assurance and testing that result in higher security by using Drupal.
