HydrateM8

HydrateM8 sells premium water bottles that help you track, monitor, and improve personal hydration levels.

These hydration tracking water bottles come with a patented schedule on the back, encouraging you to drink smaller but more consistent amounts of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can result in improved energy levels, a better immune system, healthier skin, and more.

Based in Kent, HydrateM8 have recently expanded their product offering to include reusable coffee cups and airtight food pots. Incredibly, these coffee cups have three layers of insulation to keep drinks hot. Their food pots can keep food fresh and hot for eight hours, or cold for 12 hours.

After seeing much success, they came to UK WooExperts, Silicon Dales, to find some extra speed for their online store.

“We have been running WooCommerce since 2015 and have accumulated 230,000 orders,” explains HydrateM8’s Garry. “With such a large database we were finding that some third party plug-ins were struggling to cope with the number of orders, particularly when looking up customers’ previous orders.”

This database issue resulted in slow Add to Cart page load times, with HydateM8’s server struggling to cope during peak transaction periods.

“Our page load times have dramatically fallen, [and we now have] a much quicker admin and a stable server.”

“Silicon Dales worked to identify the exact nature of these slow queries, recommended and actioned a remedy and performed optimization on our website. Our page load times have dramatically fallen, [and we now have] a much quicker admin and a stable server.”

Musical Child

Musical Child provides early learning through music for educators of children aged 0-5 years.

The programs consist of group sessions where children are involved in creative play, movement games, song and dance, and playing instruments.

Why introduce early childhood music into your education system? Music is crucial for children’s creative and holistic brain development. It improves language, cognitive function, physical and social skills, and boosts self esteem.

Musical Child have tested and perfected their early childhood music education curriculum over the past 18 years in the team’s own classes and private studios. The program’s effectiveness has been proven in early learning centers throughout Australia, China, and Hong Kong.

The team additionally offer training modules in early childhood music for educators and teachers.

Musical Child’s early-learning-through-music approach has much in common with the Orff-Schulwerk method, due to its emphasis on learning through play and the integration of drama and speech.

WooExperts Silicon Dales were enlisted to speed up page-load times in addition to a complete SEO overhaul. They additionally migrated the site to a new hosting environment, with a new email system setup to boot.
