OpenView Partners: Driving a New Content Strategy on Pantheon
In May 2014, OpenView Advisors hired Churt to help the firm build a larger market share and knock content marketing out of the park. Running on legacy infrastructure and outsourcing to three different hosting vendors, Churt quickly realized that her team didn’t have enough control over their sites.

Last week at MidCamp in Chicago, I presented a session called “Why Your Site Is Slow.”
In this presentation, I review some of the common answers to the question of why a site is slow.
