Listing at the speed of business
Every second counts when you're listing 500+ cards. A 3-second page load doesn't sound like much — until you multiply it across hundreds of cards, dozens of edits, and a full day of listing. At scale, a laggy interface isn't just annoying, it's expensive.
Server-Rendered. Edge-Cached. Instant.
Purpose-built on modern server-rendered architecture with Cloudflare's global CDN. Your data is always milliseconds away.
- Sub-1-second page loads
- Server-rendered HTML — no JS bundle to download
- Cloudflare global edge network
- Click a button, get a response — instantly
- Interface flows with your workflow
Slow by Design. Waiting Required.
The interface has to load before you can do anything. Every page, every click, every action — wait for it.
- Multi-second page loads
- Laggy interactions and constant loading spinners
- Interface fights you instead of flowing
- Simple actions feel like they take forever
- Every delay compounds across hundreds of cards
"A 3-second delay per action across 500 cards is 25 minutes of your day spent staring at a loading spinner. CardLuma delivers sub-1-second page loads powered by Cloudflare's global edge network, so data is always close to you — not stuck in a JavaScript traffic jam halfway across the internet."
