--- title: Testorelli Case Study: Rolex Retailer E-commerce description: From 20 seconds to one: we rescued the e-commerce site of Testorelli, an Official Rolex Retailer, which now meets 100% of the brand's digital standards. --- # Testorelli: Rolex Retailer E-commerce We took over the e-commerce site of Testorelli, an Argentine jeweler since 1887 and Official Rolex Retailer, when it took 20 seconds to load. Today it loads in about a second and meets 100% of Rolex's digital standards. - **Client**: [Testorelli](https://www.testorelli.com/) - **Industries**: [Retail and e-commerce](https://www.tupaca.com/en/industries/retail-ecommerce) - **Services**: E-commerce - **Timeline**: Dec 2024 – present - **Team**: A PM, a developer, a UI/UX designer and an implementation specialist - **Live site**: https://www.testorelli.com/ - **Technologies used in this project**: [WordPress](https://www.tupaca.com/en/technologies/wordpress), [WooCommerce](https://www.tupaca.com/en/technologies/woocommerce), Elementor > From 20-second load times to one second — and 100% on Rolex's digital standards ## The challenge Testorelli is an Argentine jeweler founded in 1887 and an official retailer for Rolex, Cartier, Omega and other leading brands. Its e-commerce site took about 20 seconds to load and sometimes didn't work at all: the platform was outdated, exposed to attacks from malicious users, and struggled to meet the digital standards of Rolex, one of its most important brands. ## Our solution We took over the existing platform, stabilized it and keep evolving it: - Performance and load-time optimization, starting from around 20 seconds - WordPress, WooCommerce and plugin updates, plus hardened security against attacks - Managing requests from Rolex, Cartier, Omega and other brands, which audit the site every month - A user experience tailored to the brand and the houses it officially represents - Multi-currency pricing, with a cart built to handle it - Ongoing maintenance (bug fixes, improvements and new features), plus full site management ## The result - A store that loads in a second or less, down from 20 seconds - A stable, up-to-date platform, protected against attacks - 100% compliance with the digital standards Rolex requires from its official retailers - A shopping experience worthy of the luxury brands it represents - Ongoing maintenance and evolution, at the pace of the business and its brands ## Key figures - ≤1 s — load time, down from ~20 s - 100% — compliance on tracking, cookies, SEO and design, per Rolex - 12 — Rolex digital audits a year - <1 day — business-day response time ## Speed comes first The first step was to stabilize the site and cut load times: in a luxury catalog full of high-quality images, every second counts. With a fast, up-to-date and secure foundation, the work became about evolution, at the pace of Testorelli and the brands it represents, which audit the site every month. ## Testimonials > I want to share how satisfied we are with Tupaca's services.
