5 Questions You Should Ask Before Commissioning a Corporate Website

When building a website, two things are everyone’s top priority: fast loading times and security. Unfortunately, these two often end up being trade-offs. Every solution you add for speed can open a new security vulnerability. Every security measure you take can slow down the site. So, is it possible to achieve both at the same time without compromising either?

At VisionWeb, we answer this question with a resounding “yes.” The technology stack we use—Next.js, Firebase, and Vercel—forms an ecosystem designed to deliver both speed and security simultaneously.

When it comes to speed, our choice is Vercel. This platform, which operates on a global network, hosts your site on servers located all over the world. No matter where your visitor is accessing the site from, it loads from the nearest server. Plus, when combined with Next.js, pages are pre-rendered before the visitor arrives. The result: sites that load in milliseconds and perform above 90 points on Google Speed Tests.

When it comes to security, our choice is Firebase. This platform, built on Google’s infrastructure, provides natural protection against DDoS attacks. Database access is secured through a layered security architecture. Automatic backups and continuous security updates come standard. While you focus on your site’s content, the infrastructure manages security for you in the background.

When we combine these two platforms, the result is this: a solution that doesn’t require you to go out of your way for speed or worry about security.
