Project Summary

e-point SA built and modernized a Digital Experience Platform for Santander Bank Polska, conducting application and business analysis and implementing backend and frontend optimizations. The engagement included hosting and infrastructure upgrades, a frontend rewrite from JavaScript to TypeScript, caching and lazy-loading optimizations, and image format improvements. As a result, the portal saw a 250–300% increase in page speed, a ~10% lift in conversion on selected pages, and a 75% reduction in carbon footprint per page view.

Key Challenges

  • Build an innovative Digital Experience Platform for today's requirements
  • Reduce the loading time of santander.pl pages
  • Stably accommodate twice as much traffic
  • Increase the computing power of application servers

Project Deliverables

  • Hosting and backend infrastructure upgrades (additional application and HTTP nodes, increased RAM and CPU cores)
  • Caching implementation for frequently accessed data
  • Frontend rewrite from JavaScript to TypeScript
  • Image optimization to WebP format
  • Lazy loading performance optimizations

Project Solution

e-point SA performed a detailed application and business analysis with a dedicated Santander team, then implemented hosting and backend infrastructure upgrades (additional application and HTTP nodes, increased RAM and CPU cores), optimized memory usage, and added caching for frequently accessed data. On the frontend they rewrote code from JavaScript to TypeScript, optimized assets by switching to WebP, applied lazy loading techniques, and reduced the number of components by 50% to improve performance and support higher traffic.
