⚡ Part 5: Website Speed & Performance

Why our slow website is hurting enrollment and losing students

🚨 Our Website is Too Slow

91% of our web pages load too slowly. This means most students leave before seeing our programs.

❌ What's Happening Now:

Pages take 4+ seconds to load
Students get frustrated and leave
Mobile experience is especially bad
Google ranks us lower in search

✅ What Should Happen:

Pages load in under 2.5 seconds
Students stay and explore programs
Great experience on all devices
Higher search rankings

😟 UAGC Today

8.5%

of pages load fast enough

What this means:

👥 Students leave quickly - can't find info fast
📱 Mobile users struggle - especially bad on phones
🔍 Google ranks us lower - fewer people find us
💔 Lost enrollments - slow = less trust

🎯 Our Goal

50%+

of pages loading fast

What this will bring:

✅ Students stay longer - easy to explore programs
📱 Great mobile experience - fast on all devices
🔍 Higher Google rankings - more visibility
💚 More enrollments - fast = professional

🐌 Images Load Too Slowly

78% of our pages have this problem

The Problem:

When students visit our pages, they have to wait 4+ seconds just to see the main content and images.

Simple Fix:

✅ Compress images - make file sizes smaller
✅ Use modern formats - better image technology
✅ Load important images first - prioritize what students see
✅ Use faster servers - deliver content quicker

Now: 4+ seconds

Goal: Under 2.5 seconds

⚡ Buttons & Forms Are Slow

66% of our pages are sluggish to use

The Problem:

When students click buttons or fill out forms, there's a frustrating delay before anything happens.

Simple Fix:

✅ Clean up code - remove unnecessary scripts
✅ Split large files - load only what's needed
✅ Optimize interactions - make clicks instant
✅ Improve mobile - especially for phone users

Now: 200-500ms delay

Goal: Under 200ms

📐 Page Layout is Stable

Only 1% of pages have this issue

The Good News:

Our pages don't jump around while loading. Students can click without elements moving unexpectedly.

Keep Doing:

✅ Fixed image sizes - prevents content jumping
✅ Stable fonts - text doesn't shift
✅ Reserved space - room for content to load
✅ Smooth animations - no jarring movements

✅ Already Good!

Keep maintaining this standard
