Case Study - Transforming RoyaTV's Frontend

Overview

RoyaTV, a leading digital media platform, relied on a Vue.js frontend that dynamically loaded content through AJAX calls. While functional, this setup presented challenges in terms of performance, SEO, and overall user experience. To enhance the platform’s efficiency and visibility, our team at FJ Software Studio led a complete transformation of RoyaTV’s frontend, migrating it to Next.js with Server-Side Rendering (SSR).

Challenges

• SEO Limitations: Search engines struggled to index dynamically loaded content, affecting organic reach.
• Performance Issues: The AJAX-heavy approach caused longer load times, impacting user engagement.
• Responsiveness: The existing layout required improvements to ensure a seamless experience across all devices.

Our Approach

1. Migration to Next.js with SSR

• We transitioned the frontend from Vue.js to Next.js, leveraging server-side rendering to pre-render pages for better SEO and faster initial load times.
• Implemented static generation for content that didn't require frequent updates, reducing server load.

2. Performance Optimization

• Minimized JavaScript bundles and optimized asset loading.
• Introduced lazy loading for images and non-critical components.
• Implemented caching strategies to reduce redundant requests.

3. Enhanced Responsiveness & User Experience

• Redesigned the layout to provide a fluid, mobile-first experience.
• Ensured cross-browser compatibility and improved accessibility.
