LMS performance

The performance audit of an open source e-learning platform aims to identify bottlenecks, performance issues and optimise system performance to ensure a smooth, stable and efficient online learning environment.

Services:

1

Preliminary analysis and consultation

  • Evaluation of the client's business and technical objectives in the context of the performance of the e-learning platform
  • Review of current IT infrastructure and platform configuration
  • Identify key areas for audit, such as server load, speed of operation, and user experience (UX)
2

Load and scalability tests

  • Carrying out load tests to assess how the platform copes with a large number of simultaneous users
  • Analysis of the scalability of the system in terms of user growth and increased resource requirements
  • Detection of potential bottlenecks such as memory, processor or network bandwidth limitations
3

Database optimisation

  • Performance audit of databases (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL®) used by the e-learning platform
  • Analysis of SQL queries for optimisation and identification of slow or complex operations
  • Implementation of indexes, data partitioning and other techniques to improve database performance
4

Evaluation of application and code performance

  • Review and optimisation of application code
  • Performance analysis of scripts, plug-ins and extensions to minimise resource consumption
  • Testing of page load times and user interaction with the platform
5

Server and infrastructure configuration audit

  • Review of server configurations (web, application, database) in terms of performance
  • Evaluation of web server settings (Apache®, Nginx®) and PHP parameters such as memory and script execution time
  • Analysis of server resource usage and optimisation of memory, CPU and disk allocation
  • Audit of front-end resources (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to improve page load speed
  • Implementation of optimisation techniques such as image compression, script minification and use of the browser cache
6

Implementation and optimisation of caching

  • Implementation and configuration of various caching techniques (memcached, Redis®, OPcache)
  • Optimisation of caching at server, application and browser level
  • Analysis of the effectiveness of caching and its impact on platform performance
7

Real-time performance monitoring

  • Implementation of real-time performance monitoring tools (e.g. Zabbix, Grafana®, Nagios®)
  • Analysis of historical performance data to identify patterns and anomalies
  • Development and implementation of alerts based on key performance indicators (KPIs)
8

Reporting and optimisation recommendations

  • Preparation of a detailed audit report containing the results of the analysis, detected problems and performance gaps
  • Recommendations and corrective action plan to improve platform performance
  • Consultation on the implementation of recommendations and optimisation
9

Technical support and post-audit maintenance

  • Ongoing technical support for performance optimisation and troubleshooting
  • Regular performance reviews and updating of systems and configurations
  • Assist in adapting to the changing needs of the organisation and new technological trends

Performance audits of e-learning platforms based on open source software can help organisations improve the efficiency, reliability and scalability of their systems, resulting in a better user experience and learning effectiveness.
