Common problems

What slows down education sites

  • 01

    Content spread across many editors

    Faculties, departments and teachers all publish. Without structure, the site becomes inconsistent and hard to navigate.

  • 02

    Courses and payments do not connect

    Students pay in one system and get access in another, so staff grant access by hand.

  • 03

    LMS plugins slow the site

    An LMS on top of a heavy theme and a page builder makes lessons and quizzes load slowly.

  • 04

    Accessibility gaps

    Low contrast, missing alt text and forms without labels shut out some students and create legal risk.

  • 05

    Student data at risk

    Outdated plugins and weak access rules put personal data and grades in danger.

  • 06

    Enrollment is hard on mobile

    Long forms and slow pages on phones cost you applications and course sales.
