Performance is 80% front-end

80% of the time your visitors spend waiting for your site to load is due to the front end. ¹ HTML is usually ready in a few hundred milliseconds, but browsers spend the remaining time downloading and rendering images, JavaScript and CSS. Leehoo makes your website faster by automatically optimizing the front-end. Our cloud based software performs dozens of optimizations based on best practices developed by Yahoo, Google and our team including:

• Reducing HTTP requests
• Using a CDN for static content
• Compressing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Compressing images and stripping unnecessary EXIF data
• Repositioning CSS and JavaScript files for non-blocking behavior
• Caching and preloading content in the browser

Mobile matters

Performance on mobile devices is especially important due to network speeds and limited CPU power. The screen on an iPhone is 2.5 inches wide, yet most sites still send down full-sized images and non-optimized resources. Doing performance optimizations for every mobile device by hand would be a tedious and daunting task. With Leehoo, your website will be optimized for every mobile device automatically!

Browser specific

People visit your website from dozens of different browsers. And each browser supports different features and acts just a little bit differently. For most people, it's simply not feasible to optimize for each browser. Leehoo lets you take advantage of browser specific optimizations without spending months of research on browser behavior.

Cloud advantage

One of the biggest advantages of Leehoo is that it is hosted in the cloud. This means we can get you set up and running in minutes without any software or hardware to install or update. You simply point your DNS at us, and everything works the same, only faster! We use servers around the world with full redundancy. We have reliable infrastructure you can trust and we are ready to scale up when your traffic spikes.

On-the-fly optimizations

Leehoo can optimize your content regardless of whether it is static or dynamically generated. Our system pre-generates each of the optimized files needed for your site making on-the-fly optimizations possible for personalized content.
