2 Popular Website Performance Testing Tools

One of the most commonly known tool for website performance testing is GTmetrix but it allows only one location, Vancouver in Canada, to test from. To access more testing locations, you need to create an account so that you can select a testing location that is nearest to your targeted audience. The free plan includes seven locations but with the Pro plan, you have access to another fifteen test locations to select from. All of the covered performance test site tools work in similar ways but the key is using the results they provide and working to improve the site

5 things that WordPress Web Care Consultants can do to be more customer-focused

Welcome to my TED TODD Talk.   I have been around WordPress web care consultants for several years now and have seen a lot of the successes and failures that many have had. It can be hard with long hours trying to get client websites done, overwhelmed with a huge task list, feeling like the kitchen is on fire all the time, clients that ghost you, and never-ending isolation as we mostly work from home. Most web care consultants are trying to do right by their clients, not looking for any attention, and want to have time for their families.

How to Upload SVG Files on WordPress

Being in the industry for nearly two decades, WordPress still does not allow SVG files to upload directly due to security reasons. However, there are several ways to upload SVG files to your WordPress websites. The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format is commonly used for site logos and other vector-based graphic files. SVG files can be rendered at any size, making them an excellent option for your site. A well-optimized SVG file will be smaller than using a PNG logo on your site.

How to Remove Undeleted Logs of Simple History Plugin

Q&A with Automattic’s Josepha Haden Chomphosy

A long, long time ago, I attended my first WordCamp. That was in 2017 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. To that point, the only thing I had ever attended was a WordPress Meetup in Fort Worth, TX. Among the organizers was Josepha Haden Chomphosy. She was one of the people running the show. I could tell right then she had the knack for leadership. She wasn’t afraid to take the lead, a skill I imagine she got from her mother. Fast forward almost ten years later and she is one of the top people at Automattic, the company that oversees WordPress.com and

How to Deal With a DDoS Attack on Your Site

With the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks leveled at sites and hosting providers, it is essential to know how to protect your site. DDoS could be explained as a method an attacker uses to target multiple host servers or a specific site server by sending more data than it can respond.
