(01) — The challenge

Previous WordPress setup frequently crashed during breaking news cycles when concurrent traffic spiked from Facebook viral posts. Ad revenue was hurt by slow Core Web Vitals.

(02) — What we built

Migrated content architecture to Next.js on edge serverless nodes with ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration), optimizing article load times to under 600ms on 4G mobile networks.

(03) — In their words
“We no longer panic when a breaking news post goes viral. The site is rock solid and lightning fast.”
— Editorial Board, The Reform Times
