GR8_TECH’s Platform Is Now the Fastest in iGaming
GR8_TECH has rebuilt its platform’s frontend architecture, achieving an average Lighthouse score of 90–95 points — making Platform for Champions effectively the fastest one in the industry, where the top outliers don’t exceed 75 points.
“Essentially, this means GR8_TECH’s platform loads faster than competitors’, giving end users a smoother experience they legitimately want to return to. For operators, this means higher player loyalty, time spent in sessions, retention rate, and, ultimately, higher revenue. Simply because of better tech,” commented Edward Smyshliayev, GR8_TECH CTO.
Tech Behind the Update
GR8_TECH rebuilt its frontend in two moves:
- First, it shifted from a pure client-side rendering (CSR) approach based on the React framework to a server-side (SSR) architecture built on Qwik, moving the heavy lifting off the end user’s device.
- Second, it adopted edgecloud so rendering happens closer to the player — a meaningful difference in regions farther from centralized infrastructure.
Full customization was preserved across every core surface — from the GREAT_SPORTSBOOK betting interface to the casino lobby, cashier, registration, and promo pages.
