It all started with a passion for the web. Eleven years ago, when Marcos Ramajo founded Frikitek<\/a>, he was simply “a geek” with technical skills and a drive to build better websites. Fast-forward to today, and the agency has blossomed into a team of 16 professionals. Fernan D\u00edez, the current CTO and a key technical lead, joined the team a few years later to help scale the operation, managing over 400 WordPress<\/strong> sites for clients across Spain and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout their growth journey, one challenge remained constant: delivering optimal website performance. However, as their client base grew, so did the complexity of their infrastructure and the pressure to keep every site fast, secure, and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We would try absolutely everything to improve site performance. We’d optimize plugins, configure caching systems, tune every possible setting in the control panel. And sometimes, no matter what we did, we couldn’t hit the speed metrics we needed<\/strong>.”<\/em> – Marcos, CEO at Frikitek<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That’s when Frikitek had a game-changing realization: the foundation is more important than the finishing touches. No matter how much you optimize WordPress, you can’t overcome the drawbacks of unreliable hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>The Breaking Point<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For years, Frikitek hopped between hosting providers, trying to find the right balance of performance, security, and support. Along the way, they gathered plenty of \u201cbattle scars\u201d – servers that couldn’t isolate problems between sites, backups that failed when needed most, and the never-ending struggle against ever-evolving cyber threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We started to lose that feeling of confidence. We could see that if a really important problem arose, we wouldn’t be covered. We’d detect things that weren’t working quite right behind the scenes, and we wanted to avoid that.” – <\/em>Fernan, CTO at Frikitek<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fernan’s extensive 10-year technical hosting background gave him the expertise to address the complex challenges that many agency owners might overlook: infrastructure issues aren\u2019t always visible until they become critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When you’re on the same bank of servers and one site is attacked with a denial of service, or has unusual traffic spikes, you can’t explain to other clients why their sites are suffering too. You have no arguments. It’s simply unacceptable<\/strong>.” – <\/em>Fernan, CTO at Frikitek<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That was the tipping point. Frikitek realised that without strong isolation, flexible resources, and guaranteed support, even their best efforts wouldn\u2019t be enough. Hosting couldn\u2019t be the weak link anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>The SiteGround Solution<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Frikitek’s search for a better foundation led them to SiteGround’s cloud hosting service<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A large part of our infrastructure is now with SiteGround because it gives us peace of mind<\/strong> knowing they’ll be there for us. Their trajectory aligns with our needs, and they’ll lend a hand whenever necessary<\/em>.” – Fernan, CTO at Frikitek<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The agency standardized on a cloud server configuration that perfectly balanced performance and value:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
