Slow software
Is your software slow? We find the cause and fix it
Screens that take minutes to load, reports that freeze everyone, a database that gets slower every month. We analyze queries, database, code and servers, find the bottleneck and remove it.

Sound familiar?
- Opening a screen or saving a document takes too long.
- When someone runs a report, the program freezes for everyone.
- The software is fine early in the morning and slows down when everyone is working.
- Every extra year of data makes it a bit slower.
- Timeout errors or database locks show up.
- You were offered a more powerful server, but the problem didn't go away.
What slowness costs
Ten people waiting two minutes twenty times a day add up to almost seven hours of work lost every day. Slowness doesn't show up in the accounts, but you pay for it every day.
How we work
-
1
Measure
First we measure: which operations are slow, how slow and when. No guesswork.
-
2
Diagnosis
We analyze queries, indexes, code and server configuration to find the real bottleneck.
-
3
Targeted fix
We optimize where needed: indexes, queries, caching, code or infrastructure. Without rewriting what works.
-
4
Verify
We measure again after the fix: the improvement shows in the numbers, not just in impressions.

Frequently asked questions
Isn't buying a more powerful server enough?
Sometimes it helps, but often the cause is a query or a missing index. In that case a bigger server costs more and the problem comes back as data grows.
Which databases do you work with?
Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB, as well as MongoDB and Redis.
Do you need to stop the software to work on it?
Usually not: the analysis runs on the live system and fixes are scheduled at low-usage times.
Can you work on software you didn't write?
Yes: optimization starts precisely from analyzing what's there, whoever wrote it.
How much does it cost?
After the free first consultation you receive a proposal with clear timing and costs for the diagnosis and the fixes.
