Case Study: 3P Learning achieves scalable, faster, and more secure global e-learning with Akamai Technologies

3P Learning Transforms Digital Education with Akamai

3P Learning, an Australia-based online education provider used by over 5 million students in 17,000 schools with products like Mathletics and IntoScience, struggled to scale its flash‑based, bandwidth‑intensive platforms as global usage surged. Peak events such as World Maths Day exposed limits in international bandwidth and led to connectivity issues that threatened user experience and expansion into new markets.

Partnering with Akamai’s CDN and web‑performance solutions allowed 3P Learning to offload about 70% of traffic, cut page load times by roughly 30%, improve delivery of dynamic and mobile content, and bolster security (no DDoS incidents since). The result was a faster, more reliable global platform that supports international growth and richer experiences, including mobile and 3D learning.
