Challenge
Solution

The solution makes it possible to cache even dynamic HTML resources. Through Speed Kit, Tamaris was not only able to increase their performance metrics like the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) or the Time to First Byte (TTFB), it also had a significant impact on their business metrics.
