Klamath County Fairgrounds Website Hosting & Performance Optimization
Project for Klamath County Fairgrounds - Klamath Falls, OR
Project Overview
Klamath County Fairgrounds needed reliable website hosting that could handle massive traffic surges during fair season when thousands of visitors access their site simultaneously. Their previous hosting setup was struggling with poor performance scores (24/100 mobile, 40/100 desktop) that could impact ticket sales and visitor experience during critical peak periods. We migrated their WordPress site to our enterprise hosting infrastructure and implemented comprehensive performance optimizations including image optimization and WordPress performance plugins. The result was dramatically improved performance scores (83/100 mobile, 98/100 desktop) and the ability to handle high-volume traffic without slowdowns that could cost them sales.

The Challenge
Klamath County Fairgrounds faced critical hosting challenges that threatened their revenue during the most important time of year:
Critical Performance Issues

Revenue Risk During Peak Season
With thousands of simultaneous visitors during fair announcements and ticket sales, slow loading could mean lost revenue at the most critical time.
Poor User Experience
Visitors expecting quick access to event information and ticket purchasing were met with frustratingly slow page loads and potential timeouts.
