01 The challenge
Navigating Competitive Landscape
Lacoste faced the challenge of competing with strong and established competitors in the market, requiring innovative strategies to differentiate and position their brand effectively.

Addressing slow page speed was essential for enhancing user experience and maintaining engagement as slow-loading pages can result in increased bounce rates and diminished conversion rates.
