Tech Stack: Heavy
The Challenge
Janet and Tien, founders of the Handweaving Academy, run a thriving niche membership site teaching traditional hand weaving techniques to a global audience.
Their membership platform, my.handweavingacademy.com, is built on a robust but complex tech stack that includes:
- BuddyBoss + BuddyBoss Theme
- Elementor
- WooCommerce
- Woo Memberships & Subscriptions
- FunnelKit
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)
- LearnDash LMS
- WordFence
- GamiPress
- Gravity Forms
- TaxJar
- The Events Calendar Pro
- Uncanny Automator Pro
- …and many more!
In fact, their site has 91 active plugins! 🤯
As their platform scaled, the site began experiencing slower load times, plugin conflicts, and technical issues that interfered with the user experience — especially during high-traffic periods like their annual course launches.
The Solution
MemberFix: Ongoing Maintenance, bug fixes and integrations
Janet and Tien partnered with MemberFix to take over the day-to-day care of their platform. Our team handles:
✅ Routine plugin, theme and WP core updates
✅ Regression testing
✅ Performance monitoring
✅ Bug fixes and troubleshooting
✅ Custom integrations
✅ Ongoing technical support and improvements
This freed up their time and mental bandwidth so they could focus entirely on delivering value to their members — not on tech headaches.
MemberHost: Scalable, Blazing-Fast Hosting Infrastructure
We migrated them to a dedicated cluster server running LiteSpeed Enterprise, optimized specifically for WordPress membership sites.
Result:
🚀 5x faster page load speeds across the board
Even better, we offloaded all their media to Bunny.net, dramatically reducing bandwidth load and improving global asset delivery.
And because MemberHost supports auto-scaling, the server automatically scales up during high-traffic events — like their annual launch, when thousands of users flood the site at once.
The Results
- ⚡ 5x Faster Load Times
Members now enjoy near-instant page loads — even on resource-heavy BuddyBoss and LearnDash features. - 🧘♀️ Zero Tech Stress
Janet and Tien can focus on content and community — we handle the backend. - 📈 Launch-Proof Infrastructure
MemberHost effortlessly scales to handle thousands of simultaneous users during launch periods. - 💡 Improved Member Experience & Retention
Faster, more stable, and more responsive = happier members who stick around.
What They Say
“It feels like we finally have a full tech team behind us. We’ve never seen our site run this fast or this smoothly — even during a launch. Total game changer.”
