Optimized for faster website
performance with Dexecure
Who
Giant is Singapore’s top mass market retailer of everyday items, they have over 60
stores located across Singapore. Giant has grown to become one of the country's most
iconic brands. They launched Giant Online in 2013 to compete in the growing online space
and provide supermarket services via the internet. Giant Online is continually expanding
its online presence and would like to become one of the top online eCommerce websites.
The Challenge
Giant Online is one of the leaders in retail, however the landscape in the digital space
was quite different when they first introduced Giant Online in 2013 and had its own
challenges. Now the competition was with technology companies. This is where Giant
Online realised that they need to have the best performing website with a great user
experience to ensure they could drive traffic to their website for users to purchase
their goods
“We wanted to ensure user experience and speed for our users was a key priority,” said Director of Ecommerce - Benjamin Koellmann from Dairy Farm Group. Another key issue Giant Online wanted to solve was to ensure website performance was optimal especially when they ran their marketing campaigns to drive further traffic to their website to result in higher conversion rates.
“To maximise our digital marketing efforts and our season sales, we had to ensure that our site was well optimized for our end users” said Benjamin Koellmann.

Dexecure's Solution

some webpages resulting in an increase of 8.3% in page views, leading to more
conversion and thus a change in revenue +4.7%. Furthermore, Dexecure was able to save
223 GB of monthly bandwidth each month (which becomes even better over time as Dexecure
algorithm improves). Overall we can see significant improvements in both business and
technical metrics.
