To maximise website performance, an advanced caching system has been established. It combines static caching for dynamic content, significantly reducing loading times. Merging CSS and JS files minimises the overhead when loading the page. Implementing an in-memory cache with REDIS ensures extremely fast data retrieval times and efficient handling of peak loads. In addition, the integration of a content delivery network (CDN) helps to bring content geographically closer to the end user, improving the speed and availability of the website globally.
