Project Overview

High-traffic Assamese news portal built on PHP/Laravel, with ad integration, high concurrency support, and performance optimization.

The Challenge

Prag News is one of Northeast India’s most visited digital news platforms. The portal experienced extreme traffic spikes during breaking regional news events, causing slow load times, high server resource usage, and ad revenue loss.

The Engineering Solution

Engineered backend caching layers in PHP, optimized MySQL database queries, configured server-level response caching in Plesk/Apache, and restructured dynamic asset delivery to achieve sub-second load times under high concurrent visitor loads.

Key Features Implemented

  • High-concurrency article publishing workflow and category indexing
  • Custom ad placements and banner monetization integration
  • Core Web Vitals optimization achieving 90+ mobile performance
  • Automated XML sitemaps and Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) compliance
  • Bilingual Assamese Unicode typography and UTF-8 database storage
