How Minimalist Achieved 8x Faster Loading Speed with SpeedSize
Minimalist is a leading skincare brand committed to offering high-quality, effective products with full transparency in their ingredients. With a growing customer base and a strong online presence, the brand needed to ensure its website could handle increased traffic while maintaining an exceptional user experience. Understanding that slow load times and poor performance could lead to lost sales and a drop in customer satisfaction, Minimalist sought a solution that would allow them to deliver high-quality media content without compromising on speed.
To address these challenges, Minimalist partnered with SpeedSize, an AI-powered media optimization platform that specializes in reducing the size of images and videos while preserving their quality. SpeedSize’s cutting-edge technology promised not only to enhance the user experience but also to improve overall website efficiency, thereby driving higher engagement rates.
PROBLEM
Large media files leading to slow load times, increased bounce rate, high server load, and poor mobile optimization
Minimalist faced several challenges typical of high-traffic e-commerce platforms:
Slow Load Times
The website featured high-resolution images and videos on product pages, banners, and promotional sections. While visually appealing, these media files slowed down the website’s loading times, which could frustrate users and lead to abandoned shopping carts.
Increased Bounce Rate
Users expect instant access to content. Delays of just a few seconds can cause potential customers to leave the site before making a purchase, leading to a higher bounce rate and lower conversion rates.
High Server Load
Hosting large media files also increased the strain on Minimalist’s servers, leading to inefficiencies and potential downtime during peak traffic periods.
Mobile Optimization
With a significant portion of their traffic coming from mobile devices, it was important for Minimalist to ensure that their website was optimized for all screen sizes and network conditions.
SOLUTION
Compression of image and video file sizes without sacrificing quality, resulting in 8x faster website load time and improved user experience
To overcome these challenges, Minimalist turned to SpeedSize’s AI-driven media optimization technology. The key components of SpeedSize’s solution included:
AI-Driven Media Optimization
SpeedSize’s AI analyzed every image and video on Minimalist’s website at the pixel level. By eliminating unnecessary data the human brain cannot perceive, the platform compressed media files to a fraction of their original size without any noticeable loss in quality. This ensured the website maintained its high visual standards while significantly improving load times.
Real-Time Optimization
SpeedSize provided real-time media optimization, meaning that as soon as media files were uploaded to the website, they were instantly optimized for faster loading across all devices and browsers. This ensured users always experienced the best possible performance, whether they were browsing on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device.
Server Load Reduction
By reducing the file size of images and videos, SpeedSize helped to decrease the load on Minimalist’s servers. This not only improved the website’s speed but also reduced the risk of server overload during high-traffic periods, ensuring that the site remained reliable and responsive at all times.
Improved User Experience
With faster load times and smoother navigation, Minimalist’s customers enjoyed a seamless shopping experience. This not only increased user satisfaction but also encouraged repeat visits and higher conversion rates.
RESULTS
8x faster loading speed and improved website performance
SpeedSize’s AI media optimization technology produced remarkable results, significantly enhancing the overall performance of Minimalist’s website. The impact was measurable across several key performance indicators:
Enhanced Page Load Speed
Before optimization, Minimalist’s website had an average total load time of 170.67 ms. The slow server response time (90.76 ms) and extended content download time (70.30 ms) were major contributors to this delay.
After optimization, the website’s total load time was reduced to 19.46 ms. The server response time dropped to 13.10 ms, while the content download time was cut to just 2.75 ms. This 8x improvement in load time ensured that customers could browse and shop with minimal delays.
Optimized Video Usage
While the number of videos on the website remained consistent, SpeedSize’s optimization ensured that each video was compressed without sacrificing quality. This allowed Minimalist to maintain a rich, engaging visual experience for their users while staying within their contract limits and ensuring fast load times.

The partnership between Minimalist and SpeedSize demonstrates the effectiveness of SpeedSize’s AI media optimization service in e-commerce. By using this technology, Minimalist was able to significantly improve their website’s performance, providing their customers with a faster, more enjoyable shopping experience. The results speak for themselves: faster load times, reduced server load, and lower data usage.
