Just wanted to share a few things I tested on a language-based educational site that made a real difference in SEO and user engagement — nothing groundbreaking, just small stuff that added up:
I’m curious if anyone else here is working on educational or course-based sites — what tweaks have worked for you?
Not promoting anything — just sharing what actually moved the needle. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
- Faster Load Times:
Compressing images, lazy loading videos, and cleaning up bloated plugins shaved off a few seconds — which lowered bounce rates and seemed to help rankings over time. - Progress Tracking:
Adding a basic “You’re on Lesson X of Y” bar encouraged users to stick around longer. It made the experience feel more structured, especially for returning visitors. - Simplified Navigation:
Cutting down on menus and making the main path to content super clear helped reduce confusion — and the average session time went up noticeably. - Mobile Optimization:
We spent time just using the site like a real user on mobile. Fixing tiny frustrations (like button sizes and text spacing) had a bigger impact than expected.
