LMS problems rarely look like LMS problems. They show up as falling completions, a pile of support tickets or a renewal stuck in procurement. These are the three we see most.

Nobody knows how it works

The developer who built it has moved on, the documentation is a few old emails, and every change feels risky. You'd like to improve the platform but can't tell what's safe to touch, so nothing gets touched.

A customer asks for proof

A university or health system sends a security questionnaire, or asks for an accessibility report ahead of its 2027 WCAG deadline. Your answer depends on a platform you can't fully see inside, and the renewal waits on you.

Learners quietly give up

Pages load slowly on phones, logins fail and progress disappears mid-module. Few learners complain. They stop, and you see it months later as lower completions and fewer renewals.

A health check tells you which of these you have, how serious each one is and what it would take to fix. It takes a few days of our time, and you keep everything we find. Book a health check.

A report you can act on the same week

Each finding comes with its impact, the effort to fix it and who can pick it up.

Fix the right things first: the list is ordered by impact and effort, so the first fixes go on what learners notice

Answer procurement with evidence: use the accessibility and security notes in a customer's vendor questionnaire

Brief any developer: findings are written so your own team, a freelancer or Plume can pick them up

Decide keep or replace: know whether your platform has years left in it or is costing more than it's worth

Most clients start here. Some hand the fix list to their own team, some ask us to run the platform, and some find their LMS has more life in it than they expected.

Frequently asked questions

Can't see your question? Explore your options and we'll talk it through.

What does an LMS audit from Plume cover?

Six areas: learner experience, accessibility, security and data, reporting, integrations and admin, and performance. Designers and developers review the platform together, test it as learners and admins use it, and write up every finding with its impact and the effort to fix it. You finish with a report, a prioritized fix list and a walkthrough call.

Which platforms do you audit?

Most of them. We regularly work with Moodle, Totara, LearnDash, Thinkific, LearnWorlds, Docebo, TalentLMS and platforms built in-house. On a hosted platform we review configuration, content, integrations and data. On open-source or custom platforms we can also look at the code, hosting and update status.

Do you need access to our code or live site?

Admin access and a test learner account cover most of the review. If you want the code and hosting checked as well, read-only access to the repository and hosting is enough. We never change anything on your live platform during a health check.

Will it tell us whether we meet WCAG for a university or health system contract?

It tells you where you stand. US public universities must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 2027, and HHS-funded health organizations with 15 or more staff by May 2027, including content they get from vendors. A health check spot-checks your key pages and flags the biggest gaps. A full accessibility conformance report for a procurement team is a separate, larger piece we can add.

How long does it take?

Five working days from kickoff, once we have access. The kickoff call is 30 minutes and the walkthrough call is about an hour, so the time it takes from your team is small.

What happens after the health check?

That's up to you. Your team can work through the fix list, you can hand it to another developer, or we can quote for the fixes, ongoing management or a larger rebuild. If you book follow-on work with us within 60 days, the health check fee comes off it.

Is this a way to sell us a new platform?

Most findings can be fixed on the platform you already have, and the report says so when that's the case. Where a platform is costing more to keep than to replace, we'll show you the numbers and let you decide.

Can we share the report with a customer's procurement team?

Yes. The accessibility and security notes are written so you can use them in a vendor questionnaire or share them with a customer's IT team. If a customer needs a formal accessibility conformance report, we can add one.
