Project Overview
This enterprise client had been running a PHP/jQuery reporting dashboard that was taking 8–12 seconds to load any report. Users were abandoning the tool in favor of manual Excel exports.
Our Approach
We rebuilt the front-end as a React + TypeScript SPA, replaced the REST API with a purpose-built GraphQL layer (Apollo Server), and implemented aggressive data virtualization for large datasets.
Results
- Load time: 8.4s → 2.3s (73% improvement)
- Daily active users: increased 4×
- Support tickets related to performance: dropped by 90%
- 99.99% uptime over 12 months post-launch
