SpeedSize Boosts Cilo’s Media Load Time by 84x, Achieving a 91.93% Reduction in File Size Without Compromising Quality
Cilo, a leading online retailer of high-quality audio and video equipment, faced a common yet significant challenge—slow media load times, low-quality visuals, and a sluggish user experience.
Their website, which showcases products like speakers, headphones, amplifiers, and turntables, suffered from over-compressed images, slow image loading times, and a poor Google PageSpeed score, resulting in lost sales opportunities and a frustrating browsing experience.
Cilo needed a solution to deliver high-quality visuals while optimizing their website’s speed and overall performance. This is where SpeedSize came in, offering AI-powered media optimization tailored for performance-driven websites.

- Google PageSpeed Issues: Cilo’s Google PageSpeed score was affected by these media problems, further harming SEO and overall performance.
