Overview
My Medic is a leading provider of high-quality first aid and emergency medical kits. Its products are designed to save lives and empower individuals. Despite its commitment to quality, its online store experienced significant performance challenges that affected its users’ shopping experience.
The Challenges
-
1. Slow Load Times
The homepage and product pages experienced slow loading speeds, leading to potential customer drop-offs and higher bounce rates.
-
2. Core Web Vitals Issues
The site's First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Total Blocking Time (TBT) were below industry standards, impacting the shopping experience and page interaction.
-
3. Mobile Optimization Concerns
The site’s mobile performance lagged behind its desktop counterpart, leading to an inconsistent experience for users accessing the store on different devices.

EcomExperts thoroughly assessed My Medic’s site using advanced performance auditing tools. Our process included:
- Detailed Performance Analysis: We performed in-depth testing to identify specific problem areas affecting load times and interactivity.
- Customized Optimization Roadmap: We crafted a targeted plan to address code inefficiencies, optimize media, and streamline the overall website performance.

- Image Optimization: Updated to modern, lightweight image formats and incorporated lazy-loading to improve visual load performance.
- Enhanced Caching Techniques: Introduced refined caching strategies to ensure quicker access for repeat visitors.
- Core Web Vitals Enhancements: Focused on reducing FCP and TBT by optimizing the site's critical rendering paths and reorganizing script loading priorities.
