About Obvi

Founded in 2019, Obvi is a vibrant wellness brand known for its collagen-infused supplements—like protein powders, fat burners, and wellness capsules—formulated for beauty, joint health, weight support, and overall vitality. Packaged in playful, flavor-forward formats, Obvi is strategically positioned to appeal to health-conscious, performance-focused consumers .

02

The Challenge

Obvi’s site was built to stand out—bold visuals, rich design, and dynamic elements like personalized carts and product recs. But as traffic scaled, especially on mobile, performance started to slip. Load delays on PDPs and checkout created quiet friction, leading to bounces before customers saw the value. The team needed speed—but without sacrificing their high-impact brand experience.

03

Solution

Obvi integrated Nostra’s speed optimization at the infrastructure level, rolling it out with a 5% hold‑out control group. No redesign or content cutbacks—just infrastructure upgrades.

04

The Results

  • 15.5% Conversion Rate Increase vs hold-out group 
  • 27% Faster TTFB, delivering quicker server responses 
  • Improved mobile performance across the full funnel, without sacrificing UX or media quality

Why It Matters

For a brand built on colorful imagery, on-page engagement, and vibrant storytelling, site speed isn’t secondary—it’s a direct lever on revenue. For Obvi, faster equals more conversions and a smoother brand experience.

THE IMPACT

15.5% Conversion Rate Lift

A/B tested against a 5% hold-out group, the faster experience turned significantly more browsers into buyers — proving speed pays.

Faster Mobile Funnel

Improved performance across every step of the mobile journey — from PDP to checkout — without cutting media quality or design flair.

Zero Design Compromises

Bold visuals, personalized carts, and dynamic product recs stayed fully intact. Only the infrastructure changed — the brand experience didn't.
