Performance is not a marketing claim for us.
It’s an engineering decision.
ReBALKAN is a next-generation classifieds platform built from North Macedonia with a clear goal:
to become the most reliable, scalable, and performant marketplace across the Balkans.
Recently, we ran production performance tests on our live platform — not on a demo page, not on a landing page.
The results speak for themselves.
Real Performance Results (Production Environment)
According to GTmetrix live tests:
✅ 100% Performance
✅ 100% Structure
⚡ ~200 ms Largest Contentful Paint
🧠 0 ms Total Blocking Time
📐 0 Cumulative Layout Shift

These results were measured on real pages used by real users.
How Did We Achieve This?
Short answer: by not taking shortcuts.
Long answer 👇
1. No WordPress. No Templates. No Copy-Paste Code.
ReBALKAN is not built on WordPress, pre-made themes, or generic marketplace scripts.
Every line of code was written specifically for this platform.
Every UI decision was made with performance in mind.
2. Minimalist Design by Choice
We deliberately avoided:
Heavy animations
Unnecessary visual effects
JavaScript-heavy UI libraries
Decorative but useless graphics
Instead, we focused on:
Clear information hierarchy
Fast interaction
Predictable layout
Zero layout shifts
Minimalism here is not aesthetic — it’s functional.
3. Performance-First Architecture
From day one, the platform was designed with:
Server-side rendering where it makes sense
Lean HTML output
Optimized asset delivery
Strict control over third-party dependencies
Every external request is questioned.
Every millisecond matters.
4. Security and Stability Are Non-Negotiable
No unnecessary plugins
No unknown third-party scripts
No bloated dependencies
This approach significantly reduces:
Attack surface
Exploit vectors
Maintenance risks
Security is built-in, not patched later.
Why This Matters for the Balkans
The Balkan region is fragmented:
Different languages
Different local platforms
Low trust in online listings
Heavy reliance on Facebook groups
ReBALKAN aims to solve this by offering:
A unified, multilingual platform
Consistent performance across countries
A trustworthy technical foundation
We are still early-stage — but the infrastructure is built for scale.
Why Investors Care
🚀 Early-stage platform
🚀 Strong technical foundation
🚀 Regional expansion potential
🚀 Scalable and monetizable architecture
Building speed and reliability first gives us a long-term advantage that cannot be easily copied.

Final Thoughts
Anyone can launch a classifieds website.
Very few can build one that is:
Fast
Secure
Scalable
Built from scratch
Ready for regional dominance
ReBALKAN is not just another marketplace.
It’s infrastructure.
