ABOUT

Blueocto were initially appointed to improve the Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals, but our work has greatly expanded beyond that.

Since the summer of 2021, we’ve added new functionality to the website, including bespoke Bundles when customers order large quantities of workwear for their staff.

The ability to add a logo to workwear was updated and costings were reflected on the front-end for the consumer.

In addition, we completely overhauled the database, reducing the amount of Users and Orders, Products and their associated images.

More recently, we conducted a “Housekeeping” project, which spanned over 2-months with a view to get rid of the ‘cruft‘ that was causing the website to slow down.

One aspect of this plan was reducing the size the of /uploads/ folder (Media Library) and redundant, unattached or corrupted images.

We were able to eradicate countless redundant data and tables, in the database which was the root cause of slow-downs and errors.

Since performing the Housekeeping and moving them onto a new hosting plan, they’ve seen a cost saving of over £500 per month!

The website now runs much faster and we look forward to building more unique functionality and speeding up the front-end for their users moving forward.
