Harder Better Faster

July 2, 2013 by in Livewire, News

In anticipation of our extensive coverage of the U.S. Open, we’ve done a lot of behind-the-scenes work on Ultiworld. I’ll spare everyone the technical details and lay out some results: we can now serve webpages 10x faster and handle 40x as many simultaneous visitors. Just in time for our most extensive tournament coverage yet.
