Aptimize Speeds Up Microsoft's Website
Microsoft is now using Aptimize’s Website Accelerator (WAX) to speed up their flagship SharePoint website: SharePoint.Microsoft.com
Ed visited Seattle recently, met with the SharePoint team and demonstrated how SharePoint.Microsoft.com page load speeds could be improved with Aptimize. The team immediately saw the benefit this would deliver to their customers. Deploying the solution and seeing benefits is a very fast and simple process.
"The improvement in page loading time is tremendous." Tony Tai, Product Manager, Microsoft Corporation.
After downloading, installing and configuring Website Accelerator for the website, here are the results:
- First-view load times reduced 46-64%
- Repeat view load times reduced up to 50%
- Start render reduced more than 50% (how long people see a blank page before it draws)
- YSlow Score increased from E to B
Here are original/Aptimized load time comparisons, using AOL page test from Dulles, VA:

This was a great opportunity for Aptimize to work with Microsoft and Advaiya, both have a strong focus on web performance and customer experience.
