Active students are 100% authenticated — meaning full-page HTML caching is bypassed on every click. We model exact PHP 8.3 worker RSS, Redis 7 memory, and MariaDB InnoDB pools for cohort launches. (WPVelocity Modeled Targets: 165 ms (Dynamic LMS) • 1.5s Modeled LCP • 92 ms Modeled INP).
WPVelocity Engineering Note: Unlike content blogs where 94% of readers are anonymous, LearnDash, TutorLMS, and BuddyBoss compute per-student progression bars, quiz timers, and unread notification counters dynamically. Shared hosting LVE limits (20–30 entry processes) saturate within minutes of a cohort email announcement.
Under our WPVelocity queueing equations, unoptimized defaults push dynamic origin responses toward 1,820 ms (Throttled) under concurrent load.
