SharePoint Isn’t Slow. Poor Architecture Makes It Slow.

company — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 07:44:12 +0000

SharePoint isn’t slow. Poor architecture, heavy assets, and unnecessary requests make it slow.

That is one of the biggest lessons we’re applying while improving the digital experience at RMM India.

Building a modern website on SharePoint comes with a unique challenge:

How do you create a visually premium, animation-rich experience without turning every page into a heavy, slow-loading application?

Our development focus includes:

• Reducing unnecessary network requests
• Optimizing large videos and media assets
• Improving page load performance and Core Web Vitals
• Building lightweight, reusable frontend components
• Creating smooth animations without unnecessary JavaScript overhead
• Improving responsive behavior across devices
• Maintaining clean, scalable, and maintainable architecture
• Balancing visual storytelling with real-world performance

The interesting part is that performance problems are rarely caused by just one thing.

A slow experience can come from:

→ Too many API calls
→ Large video files
→ Unoptimized images
→ Blocking JavaScript
→ Excessive DOM complexity
→ Third-party scripts
→ Poor loading strategies

The solution isn't simply removing features.

It's engineering them properly.

At RMM India, we’re continuously analyzing, testing, and optimizing how SharePoint can support a faster and more modern digital experience.

Because a modern enterprise website should not force users to choose between good design and good performance.

It should deliver both.

How We’re Building a Faster, More Modern Digital Experience for RMM India with SharePoint

company — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 07:43:22 +0000

At RMM India, we’re continuously improving how our digital platform performs, looks, and scales.

Our website, built with a strong focus on SharePoint, is evolving beyond a traditional corporate portal into a faster, cleaner, and more engaging digital experience.

Our current development focus includes:

• Improving SharePoint page performance and reducing unnecessary network requests
• Optimizing heavy media assets such as videos and images
• Building responsive, modern UI components with a clean visual system
• Creating smoother animations without compromising performance
• Improving Core Web Vitals and overall page speed
• Developing scalable and maintainable frontend architecture
• Enhancing accessibility and mobile responsiveness
• Finding the right balance between rich visual storytelling and lightweight performance

One of the biggest challenges with modern enterprise websites is maintaining a visually premium experience while keeping page weight under control.

Our approach is simple: every animation, image, video, and component should add value. If it affects performance without improving the user experience, it needs to be optimized, deferred, or removed.

SharePoint provides a powerful foundation, but creating a modern experience requires careful frontend engineering, performance analysis, and thoughtful UI/UX decisions.

We’re continuing to experiment, measure, optimize, and improve.

The goal is not just to build a website that looks modern.

The goal is to build a digital experience that is fast, scalable, accessible, and ready for the future.

Google Analytics Broken Again: September 1 Data Missing

company — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 07:17:09 +0000

Google Analytics seems to have another bug, this time with data missing from main charts. September 1, 2026 data is showing zero traffic across website installs.

Google Analytics seems to have another bug, this time with data missing from the main charts. September 1, 2026 data is showing zero traffic to websites; I believe this is across every Google Analytics install.

I see tons of complaints about this in the Google Analytics Forums, WebmasterWorld and on various social media platforms. Check out our Sitemap and RSS Feed for realtime updates.

Here is a chart showing the traffic metrics dropping to zero:

Google Analytics Zero Traffic Bug Chart

"It looks like Google Analytics is having an issue with processing data. I'm seeing this pattern across multiple client accounts, so if you see this don't panic and hopefully it is resolved soon!"

Anyway, the good news is that it seems to be impacting everyone, but the bad news is your reports will show zero for that day. It is a Google bug — nothing required on your end. For custom analytics solutions, feel free to visit my Portfolio or Contact Page.

Monitor Website Response Time with cURL

company — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 07:14:52 +0000

Discover how to measure your website's response time using the curl command, and how it can help you increase traffic and performance of your webpage.

Understanding Server Response Time
Server response time, also known as Time to First Byte (TTFB), is the time it takes for the server to process a web request and send the first byte back to the user.

Think of it as the pause before your web pages begin their journey to the user's screen.

Why Measure The Response Time?
Server response time is a critical part of overall website performance and loading times.

Paying attention to response times has huge benefits:

Performance Bottlenecks: Server response time helps identify potential performance issues on the server, such as slow database queries, excessive load, or under-resourced infrastructure.
User Experience: Quickly loading pages enhance user experience because people do not want to wait for slow-loading pages. A fast response time increases user satisfaction and the desire to use your site.
Search Engine Visibility: Search engines like Google evaluate a site's loading speed as part of its search engine optimization (SEO). Faster pages receive a higher ranking in search results, which helps increase organic traffic and your visibility.
Measuring Response Time with cURL
cURL is a versatile tool commonly found in MacOS and Linux operating systems. It can be used to make various types of network requests.

Server response time is measured with cURL as follows:

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_starttransfer}\n" https://www.enstai.fi/
cURL measures how long it takes for the web page at https://www.enstai.fi/ to generate a response. The command returns the response time in seconds.

Real-World Example
juha@MacBook ~ % curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_starttransfer}\n" https://www.enstai.fi/
0.152016
Here, the response time is 0.152016 seconds, or 152 milliseconds (ms).

According to Google, a good response time is under 200 ms, or less than 0.2 seconds.

It seems that enstai.fi was quicker to respond, which is great!

Conclusion
In the digital age, speed is of the essence. Monitoring your website's speed with cURL isn't just good practice — it's essential. This diligence is a part of what separates successful websites from the rest.

Keep in mind that each millisecond shaved off your response time can significantly elevate user satisfaction and enhance your position in SEO rankings.
