Kill Cliff Deploys Yottaa to Drive Web and Mobile Engagement

berry_legit_img_2WALTHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Yottaa, the leading Adaptive CDN platform for optimizing user experience on web and mobile applications, today announced that Kill Cliff, a premium sports beverages and protein bars brand, has standardized on the Yottaa platform to improve website performance and end user experience for its omni-device users.

Founded and created by a former Navy SEAL, Kill Cliff provides premium pre and post-workout recovery drinks and protein bars, formulated with quality functional ingredients, to aid in recovering from strenuous activity and physical exertion. One of the challenges Kill Cliff faced in terms of its eCommerce strategy was improving customer engagement. Kill Cliff averages between 60-70% new visitors every month with over 70% of these visitors on a mobile device. The company understood that if a first-time mobile visitor was forced to endure slow page long load times on Kill Cliff’s website, they would likely “bounce” from its site immediately.

After recently implementing a new Responsive Web Design (RWD) site that was built using a “mobile-first” mentality, Kill Cliff deployed Yottaa to increase the performance of its website, especially for mobile users. Prior to implementing the Yottaa platform, Kill Cliff’s end users experienced, on average, four second page load times. Yottaa was able to cut that by over 50%, which Kill Cliff measured as a huge business impact for the company’s eCommerce initiatives.

“It’s really important that our online and mobile customers have the best experience possible: to find what they’re looking for right away, and to interact with Kill Cliff in the most fun, engaging and efficient manner possible,” said Mo Harake, Director of eCommerce, Kill Cliff. “I am completely amazed by the capabilities of Yottaa. The platform empowers my team to fully control and optimize every aspect of a customer’s experience. Because Yottaa is an adaptive CDN, tailor-made for the age of the mobile consumer, it goes far beyond traditional CDN (content delivery network) technology. Using Yottaa, we are continuously driving improvements to Kill Cliff’s online presence so that we’re operating at a billion dollar level; and we do it without any infrastructure or code changes. That’s really exciting.”[Tweet]

“In today’s highly competitive eCommerce landscape, brands such as Kill Cliff that rely in part on online revenue need to ensure that their websites are performing at the highest levels across all device types,” said Vick Viren Vaishnavi, President and CEO of Yottaa. “Through Yottaa, Kill Cliff was able to cut web page load time by over 50% which will result in better end user experiences and higher online conversion rates for the company’s line of sports beverages, apparel and accessories.”
