How To Tell What's Slowing Your WP Site Down & if you're running too many plugins...
Site load speed is pretty important for Google ranking factors now so you need to make sure your WP pages load as quick as possible, but how do you find out what's slowing down your load speed?
You use a WordPress Site Speed Profiler plugin - I use WP Optimiser as it also includes a bunch of other site speed otpimization feature that run automatically for you in the background.
You can watch a more complete demo walkthrough video of WP Optimiser here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuZcufM7TG4
Blogs are designed so that you don't need to know HTML, CSS, PHP, or any other computer language.
You'll have greater flexibility, however, if you know how to tweak or hack(?) the code behind your blog.
Knowing code basics is equivalent to knowing how to change a flat tire or use jumper cables on a car.
Someone else can do these things for you, yet it's easier, more efficient, and generally more economical to be self-reliant in this regard.
Creative/curious spirit. When I first began web design, I was sometimes frustrated because we never really "finished" a site. Even after launch, there were features to add, areas to edit, and a continual flow of new ideas and requests. Blogging is ever evolving too, so the best bloggers stay curious and keep experimenting.
Get started with your best ideas then keep looking for ways to improve, innovate, or replicate, knowing that change is natural (and even fun!). Magnetic vision.
Most of us grew up being told some version of this aphorism "Work hard to get ahead." Though successful bloggers do devote plenty of time and energy to blogging, holding a clear vision and focusing on what you want is your primary responsibility.
Many people halt their progress when they start fixating on the bumps they're encountering rather than holding their vision in their minds. Identify your blogging goals, believe you can achieve them, envision yourself having reached them and feel joyful, elated, and proud of what you've done.
Then, take inspired action and start making the journey from unrealized possibility to potential fulfilled.
Five areas on which to focus your energy.
Five skill sets to refine.
Five things each of us is capable of doing. Five actions that will hasten positive results. Five practices that can lead any blogger from mediocrity to mastery.
Here, I'm going to make them as simple as possible, as straight forward as possible. I believe you've heard this phrase before, "Simply The Best".
So you got it, make your blog as simple as possible. The only thing you should pay more attention to is your content.
Write something that is very informative and you will eventually get the traffic you wish for.
If your blog design is too complicated, most of the visitors will feel messy about your blog then you will waste your traffic.
Plain simple design will be the best.
Always remember this. In blogging sphere, content is the most important ingredient if you want to success in blogs. Why are people visits your blog? Because your blog has got information they're looking for. If you don't have anything that can attract visitors, then there will be no reasons for them to come to your blog. One of the best blogging tips you could ever get is how to write articles to advertise your blog and attract masses of traffic to it. This tip applies not only to promoting blogs, but also to advertising your Squidoo lens, your Facebook page or even your YouTube videos. Lots of people think they can write well, but in fact cannot. The first problem that the majority of the online world has is that they cannot write in English: they can communicate in written English, but not write a readable article. A badly written email or blog might work if the message is good and easily understandable, but not an article. Which is a shame, because not only do most internet users not understand English, but they also have a lot to offer to us that do.
The only advice I can give to you is to hire an article ghostwriter to write for you.
First and formost what is a Blog? A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web.
The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger."
The growth of blog usage over the last year has been incredible. Blog readership increased from 17% of internet users to 27% in just 9 months.
A quick search on the net for blogs and you find that not only are the general public using them as a way of electronically noting their feelings and thoughts but also businesses are using them as an informal way of updating their clients of products and services.
It seems that when it comes to blogging big businesses and small businesses are on the same playing field.
A blog offers any business the opportunity to communicate with employees, and customers, sharing knowledge and expertise.
As you may or may not have realised is that blogging is a big plus and if used correctly can provide an interesting and effective way to increase brand identity and awareness.
My personal web design company (Able Net Design) has seen an increase in interest of blogs and its use with our own customers.
