Canva High Bandwidth Requirement Excludes Users on Slow Connections

Canva requires consistently fast internet to function smoothly, making it sluggish or unusable for users in bandwidth-constrained regions or on mobile data. The app does not progressively load or cache assets for offline/low-speed use, adding significant wait time to every editing session.
