In this digital era, how your customers reach out to you matters in a successful business model. The digital environment revolves around web applications. A dynamic website always induces high traffic. A smooth-running web application is easy to explore. A website aims at the objectives of a company. It’s the easiest way to exhibit company skills and products. We expect a website to have low maintenance needs. There are many web application performance roadblocks. Codes, duplicate title tags, high loading time, and slow servers are some of the contributing factors. It is necessary to address performance problems and drop them before they affect the users.
