INCREASED ENTERPRISE AGILITY

with Layer0

Shoe Carnival, one of the nation’s largest family footwear retailers, offers a
broad assortment of dress, casual, and athletic brand name footwear for men,
women and children. With 80% of the retailer’s traffic coming from mobile and a
proprietary frontend that was both slow and challenging to develop for, Shoe
Carnival was looking for a proper solution. The retailer found what it needed
with advanced web tech for sub-second websites through Layer0 by Limelight and
AWS.

> “On Layer0, we have better speed and conversions. From a developer’s
> standpoint, we have far more flexibility and no restrictions.” - Tyler Drone,
> Sr. Manager of Digital Development


INSTANT-LOADING PAGES ON LAYER0

ShoeCarnival.com went from 3.4 second first-page loads and 6 second browsing
transitions to both being 1 second or less. On Layer0, first loads are 70.5%
faster, with a 1 second median load time. More importantly, subsequent page
loads are cut by an astonishing 92%, down to 500ms.  

> “The speed was so much faster than a lot of the things that we were comparing
> it to. This was unique to this platform (Layer0).” - Drone

Layer0 makes instant loads possible every time, with little to no developmental
headache. “The platform is more flexible, user friendly, and takes all the
guesswork out of deployments and caching,” stated Drone. Shoe Carnival has full
control over caching and traffic routing on Layer0. This, along with the
platform’s CDN-as-JavaScript, which caches dynamic content at the edge and
streams it to the browser before it is requested, ensures that ShoeCarnival.com
delivers an exceptional, instant experience.




The bottom-line gains from the sub-second speeds were felt immediately. “Right
away, we saw lift in conversions and AOV,” reported Drone. Since launching on
Layer0, ShoeCarnival.com has seen a 35% increase in conversion rate and 40% rise
in revenue. Speed equals money, but that’s not all it influences. Site speed
also influences SEO.


INSTANT SEO

The faster the site, the higher it ranks. Shoe Carnival is a great example for
that, as it outranks the largest names out there, including Amazon, with its
sub-second website.

On Layer0, ShoeCarnival.com’s mobile Lighthouse score skyrocketed. Based on our
analysis of the performance scores of the leading 500 US internet retailers,
 ShoeCarnival.com outperforms 98% of the leading eCommerce websites.

A website’s Lighthouse score essentially shows you how Google perceives that
site in terms of speed. In turn, speed impacts the site’s organic ranking.
Search engines are favoring faster websites in the ranks, and ShoeCarnival.com
is now outperforming and outranking the biggest names out there, including
Amazon, Zappos, Nordstrom, along with other multi-billion dollar competitors for
key phrases.



Layer0 doesn’t only enable speedy websites, it also simplifies and accelerates
the developmental process.


INSTANT MADE SIMPLE

From a technical perspective, Layer0 simplifies the process of building,
testing, optimizing and running large eCommerce websites. Shoe Carnival can now
add and amend functionality and endpoints, in a fraction of the time it used to
take them.

> “From a general ability to add or implement new functionality, hands down
> Layer0 is much easier to work in.” - Drone

Layer0 puts the code in the center of your workflow. It simplifies the
developmental process and accelerates testing and feedback cycles with automated
tests and staging URLs for every branch created. Once live, Layer0 lets you
easily monitor your site’s performance and caching in various levels of
granularity, so that every optimization effort is maximized.

Drone and team are able to squeeze every millisecond out of every speed
optimization effort through the use of a combination of advanced technology,
built-into Layer0. These include built-in auto-AMP and Server-Side Rendering
support for portable frontends, predictive prefetching and CDN-as-JavaScript to
deliver a 95%+ cache hit ratio for dynamic content at the edge.
