Live scores. Fast updates. Zero lag.
Wisden is a household name for cricket lovers. Fans flock there for ball-by-ball scores, breaking news, and expert takes. But when the audience grew, the old site started to buckle:
- Pages loaded slowly during big matches.
- Traffic spikes made the site crash.
- “Live” scores showed up late—bad news for fans following every ball.
Wisden asked Seven Square for a real-time cricket score website development solution that could keep pace with the action on the field.
The Big Hurdles
| Problem | Why it Mattered |
|---|---|
| Instant data | Fans expect scores the moment the umpire signals. Even a few seconds’ delay feels like forever. |
| Match-day traffic | Tournaments like the IPL attract millions of users simultaneously. The site had to stay up—no excuses. |
| Data accuracy | Scores pull from many cricket APIs. Mixing them without mistakes is tough but non-negotiable. |
| Room to grow | Cricket never stops. The backend had to scale easily for future events and new content. |
How We Fixed It
1. Built a live data pipeline
Feeds scores, commentary, and stats to every screen in real time. Backbone of our cricket live-score web development work.
2. Added smart caching + auto-refresh
Keeps data fresh while easing the load on servers.
3. Set up load balancers and a global CDN
Spreads visitors across servers so no single box melts down.
4. Plugged in trusted cricket data APIs
One clean source of truth—no more mixed-up numbers.
5. Designed mobile-first
Most fans check scores on phones, so we started there.
