During peak travel seasons, travel service providers and bloggers flock to major travel platforms to share travel information and maximize exposure. To handle the massive data and global users accessing the platform simultaneously, travel website J opted for a cloud-based hosting solution. This choice ensured flexibility, scalability, and stability, allowing the platform to provide seamless service even during peak seasons.
However, as the website's popularity surged, the existing cloud infrastructure struggled to cope with the growing traffic, resulting in:
- Slower website performance, with pages taking over 5 seconds to load
- Frequent crashes during peak traffic periods
- System overload, preventing timely article uploads
These challenges are common for websites experiencing rapid growth, and J platform was no exception.
J platform specializes in Japanese travel information, serving as a crucial bridge for travelers from unfamiliarity to expertise. Over time, it has accumulated numerous popular articles, enabling travelers to explore Japan’s culture and attractions. The platform also attracts writers based in Japan, whose travel guides consistently rank high in search engines, making J platform a go-to resource for travel enthusiasts. Consequently, J platform experiences peak traffic levels year-round.
However, with this surge in exposure came overwhelming traffic that exceeded the server’s capacity. During a cherry blossom festival promotion, a sudden influx of visitors caused delays in publishing sponsored advertisements from Japanese businesses. Even when successfully published, slow loading speeds led to prolonged buffering. This not only caused a drop in traffic but also resulted in advertisers and experienced writers leaving the platform, leading to financial losses and talent attrition. Despite upgrading its existing cloud infrastructure to the budgetary limit, J platform still failed to resolve these issues effectively.
Enhancing Website Load Speed by 4x with YJ-Cloud Hybrid Cloud Technology
In search of a solution, J platform approached Yuan Jhen Information for technical consultation. After a comprehensive website health check and technical assessment, YJ-Cloud engineers developed a hybrid cloud strategy tailored to J platform’s needs. The migration process, including foundational setup and environment deployment, was fully managed by the YJ-Cloud engineering team.
During high-traffic travel seasons, YJ-Cloud’s load balancing capabilities automatically distribute traffic to the nearest server or data center, ensuring a smooth experience for users regardless of location. Bloggers on the platform can also publish their articles without delays. By adopting the YJ-Cloud hybrid cloud strategy, J platform successfully increased its website load speed by over 4x, breaking new traffic records every month and regaining lost exposure.
