Overview

Promojagers is a community commerce and deal marketplace platform built for web and hybrid mobile users, serving over 300,000 monthly visitors. The project involved modernizing the platform from its original Laravel and Vue architecture to a Nuxt 3 SSR-enabled setup to improve performance, scalability, and SEO. Rigrex delivered platform migration, performance optimization, DevOps setup, and UI/UX redesign to help Promojagers support high traffic, provide a smoother user experience, and maintain long-term platform growth.

Research

The project began with a review of the platform’s architecture, performance, SEO, mobile experience, infrastructure, and user behavior to identify the main barriers to growth.

Research Area	Key Finding
Architecture	Existing Laravel + Vue SPA limited SEO and scalability.
Performance	Growing traffic was causing speed and stability issues.
SEO	Lack of SSR reduced organic visibility.
Mobile Experience	Users faced login and session handling issues on mobile.
Infrastructure	No CI/CD, staging environment, or scalable server setup was in place.
UI/UX	Interface and category structure were not aligned with user behavior.
Engagement	The platform needed better re-engagement through notifications.
Migration Risk	A phased migration was required to avoid downtime.

These findings shaped the execution roadmap, prioritizing stability, performance, SEO, mobile usability, and scalable infrastructure.

Challenges → Solutions

No separate staging and production environments.	Created structured staging and production environments for safer testing and deployment.
SPA architecture was limiting SEO performance.	Migrated from Laravel + Vue SPA to Nuxt 3 with Server-Side Rendering.
Performance bottlenecks under high traffic.	Improved load speed by 40% through performance optimization and infrastructure upgrades.
Risk of downtime during migration.	Completed the migration in structured phases with zero downtime.
