A Growing Audience, A Growing Challenge

Managing 10 million monthly readers is no small feat. For Meri Saheli, one of India’s leading media platforms focused on women’s empowerment and lifestyle, this was both an achievement and a challenge. Their WordPress website was struggling under the weight of its own success—frequent traffic spikes, slow loading times, and occasional downtime were putting their reputation at risk.That’s where Corporate WordPress came in. As a trusted enterprise WordPress agency, we specialize in delivering solutions that don’t just meet industry standards but exceed them, adhering to WordPress VIP coding standards and enterprise-grade delivery practices.

Who Is Meri Saheli?

Meri Saheli has been a household name for decades, empowering women through its magazine and now its digital platform. Their website, merisaheli.com, attracts millions of readers monthly, offering articles on lifestyle, health, relationships, and more. But as their audience grew, so did the demands on their digital presence.

With 10M monthly visitors, Meri Saheli needed a website that could:

• Handle traffic surges during viral stories.
• Load quickly for users across India.
• Offer a seamless experience for readers accessing multilingual content.

The Challenge: Scaling Without Breaking

Meri Saheli’s existing website was functional but not optimized for enterprise-level traffic. They faced:

1. Frequent Downtime during traffic peaks.
2. Slow Load Times, causing high bounce rates.
3. Lack of Scalability to accommodate growing audience demands.

The stakes were high. Downtime or slow performance could cost them readers, ad revenue, and trust.

Enterprise WordPress in Action

• Following WordPress VIP Coding Standards
• Building for Scalability
• Optimizing Performance

1. Following WordPress VIP Coding Standards

Our first step was to audit the website. Using WordPress VIP coding standards, we identified inefficient code and outdated practices that were contributing to slow performance and crashes. This audit guided us in implementing cleaner, faster, and more scalable solutions.

2. Building for Scalability

To ensure Meri Saheli’s website could handle its growing audience, we:

• Migrated to an enterprise-level WordPress hosting solution with auto-scaling capabilities.
• Implemented advanced caching mechanisms to reduce server load.

Integrated a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to deliver content quickly to readers across India and beyond.

3. Optimizing Performance

We optimized Meri Saheli’s website for speed, reducing load times by 40%. This included:

• Compressing images and using lazy loading for media.
• Minifying CSS and JavaScript for faster rendering.
• Implementing a real-time monitoring system to catch potential performance bottlenecks before they affected readers.
