Technical Requirements
We work with businesses running diverse technical environments. Our content optimization approach adapts to your existing infrastructure rather than forcing you into a specific stack.
CMS Compatibility
Most content management systems handle our optimization strategies without modification.
- WordPress 5.0 or newer with standard editor
- Drupal 8+ with content authoring tools
- Custom CMS with basic HTML support
- Headless CMS via API integration
- Static site generators with markdown support
Browser Standards
Content performs consistently across modern browsers without special configurations.
- Chrome 90+ with standard rendering
- Firefox 88+ with default settings
- Safari 14+ on macOS and iOS
- Edge 90+ on Windows systems
- Mobile browsers with HTML5 support
Analytics Setup
Tracking implementation works with common analytics platforms you're likely already using.
- Google Analytics 4 with basic tracking
- Adobe Analytics via standard tags
- Matomo with JavaScript tracking
- Custom analytics with event support
- Tag management systems for deployment
Platform Requirements Overview
The technical foundation we need isn't particularly demanding. Most websites built in the past five years already meet these criteria without adjustments.
Server and Hosting Considerations
Your hosting environment matters less than you might expect. We've successfully worked with businesses on shared hosting, VPS setups, and enterprise cloud infrastructure. The key factor is consistent uptime rather than raw performance.
Content optimization doesn't require high-spec servers because the heavy lifting happens during content creation, not delivery. A typical business website running on standard hosting can support our optimization approach without upgrades.

Core Technical Specifications
| Component | Minimum Requirement | Recommended Setup | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web Server | Apache 2.4 or Nginx 1.18 | Latest stable version with gzip enabled | Standard configurations work fine |
| PHP Version | PHP 7.4 or higher | PHP 8.1 with opcache enabled | Only for dynamic CMS platforms |
| Database | MySQL 5.7 or PostgreSQL 11 | Latest stable with indexing | Used for content storage only |
| SSL Certificate | Valid TLS 1.2 certificate | TLS 1.3 with auto-renewal | Required for secure content delivery |
| Bandwidth | Unmetered or 1TB monthly | Scalable based on traffic | Typical business sites use minimal |
| Storage Space | 5GB available disk space | 20GB for media and backups | Content archives grow gradually |
HTTPS Protocol
Secure connection required for content delivery and tracking accuracy
Admin Access
Editor-level permissions to publish and modify content within your CMS
Analytics Integration
Ability to add tracking code or access to existing analytics data
File Upload Capability
Support for standard image formats and basic media files up to 10MB
Mobile and Performance Readiness
Your site doesn't need perfect mobile optimization before we start. Many businesses we work with have older responsive designs that still function adequately on phones and tablets.
That said, mobile performance affects content effectiveness. If your site takes more than four seconds to load on 4G connections, we'll recommend addressing that alongside content optimization. Sometimes content improvements actually help with load times by reducing unnecessary elements.
Integration Timeline and Process
Initial setup typically takes three to five business days depending on your platform complexity. We handle most technical configuration during this period while you continue normal operations. The process includes verifying tracking accuracy, testing content delivery across devices, and confirming that existing functionality remains intact. Once complete, content optimization begins without additional technical interruption.
Questions About Your Technical Setup?
If you're uncertain whether your website meets these requirements, we can review your current technical environment and provide specific guidance before moving forward.
