Nomination Title: Radware FastView

1. Tell the story about this nominated product or service (up to 525 words). Describe its function, features, benefits, and performance to date:

Slow load times have been shown to negatively impact a variety of business metrics such as on eCommerce websites. Time is money and customers don't use slow sites. A one second delay in page time equals a 7% loss in conversions, 11% fewer page views and 16% decrease in customer satisfaction. Faster is better and your website and web-based applications need to be lightning quick or you will lose customers and revenue.

Radware's FastView is a web performance optimization (WPO) solution that enables faster websites and web-based applications. It transforms front-end optimization (FEO) from a lengthy and complex process to an automated function performed in real time, accelerating web application response time out-of-the-box. And since we believe that application acceleration is an essential component of a next generation application delivery controller (ADC), FastView integrates into our Alteon NG ADC.

Recently, AutoAnything was busy gearing up for Black Friday. They were determined to create a premium shopping experience that would not only minimize cart abandonment, but also yield high “browse-to-cart” and “cart-to-buy” conversion rates. To do this, they knew they had to create the ultimate shopping experience: an image-rich website with fast-loading pages and reliable performance. After deploying FastView, AutoAnything was able to deliver a significantly improved visitor experience, resulting in lower cart abandonment rates, higher conversion rates, and larger purchases.
