Project Description

In case the website received too much traffic we had a couple failover plans in place, such as being able to switch to a revised homepage that was streamlined for lots of traffic. Version 1 removed the animated billboard image slider and didn't include any dynamic JSP so everything was static. In version 2 I also removed all links to internal pages including the billboard image CTA and no login plus the bottom section of the page content was removed. Version 1 HTTP resource requests went from 84 down to 41 and page weight went from ~972K to ~169K. Version 2 HTTP requests went down to 17 and page weight went to ~88K. Since most traffic doesn’t go through the homepage necessarily but to sub-pages directly, I could also redirect all sub-pages to the version 2 homepage if needed.
