However, we want to provide you the best possible solution so that you can streamline your business. And also get benefits that you really deserve.
Keeping that in mind, our product and development team planned thoroughly on making the frontend better for everyone.
Why is Frontend Dashboard for WordPress HR Complicated?
While using WordPress, we often use different types of plugins as well as themes to solve many problems. This often creates problems with the natural process of how things work inside the ecosystem.
In simple words, conflicts occur inside the site and this is certainly a big issue for everyone. That is why our aim was to make provide you with the best frontend solution for our WordPress ERP. Here are the things that we considered.
Design and Themeing Problems
The first and foremost thing that we decided to look after is the design of the HR frontend that we are trying to build. As we said earlier, different themes and plugins create various types of conflicts and it’s our duty to make sure all our products are free of them. However, it’s not fully possible to make a WordPress plugin conflict-free.
Performance Issues & Technological Constraints
Besides that, performance is an important factor to consider when trying to make a plugin work properly. Due to lack of scope in case of using recent technologies like Vue.js and REST API, it is difficult for a developer to bring out the best solution they are intending to provide. We are no different from this scenario. This clearly creates problems in smooth performance without conflicting with other available plugins on the WordPress site.
Page Loading Time
WordPress backend is a bit slower than the frontend. This has been a serious issue for a long time. That is why optimizing the page loading time is considered as a best practice for WordPress.
Recently, one-page apps or plugins have been emerging to provide fast experience. weForms, a contact form plugin is a good example of it. This fastest contact form plugin for WordPress creates amazing forms without loading pages.
However, one-page plugins on frontend are quite problematic. Using JavaScript, this problem can be minimized.
Our Approach – What We Intended to Do
WP ERP already has a frontend solution for the HR module. It creates three (3) HR pages in the frontend so that you can get a dashboard where all your HR data is shown. Your employees or team members also get their own profiles right on the frontend. This effectively increased the security, privacy, and performance of the solution.
But, we want to give you more opportunity – a smooth experience so that you can use our solution with ease.

With they latest approach, they made sure the new Frontend Dashboard solution loads only the HR frontend assets for the URL. And guess what, this potentially prevents conflicting issues of your site.
