Website speed optimization

Blogging is something everyone talks about at this moment, a lot of people are wanting to start a blog. Here are some things you need to know about how to make money with a free wordpress blog. 1st we talk about free blogging websites and after we talk about self hosted blogging methods.

Firstly, it is important to know how to evaluate the speed of your website. Generally, websites load in 7 seconds on average, but your goal should be less than 3 seconds. This ensures users are satisfied with a snappy website. There are a number of great tools out there for testing website speed, with the best options being GTmetrix and Pingdom. These free-to-use tools provide overall performance scores, page details, and in-depth speed reports. In other words, they are just the sort of tools that help you to determine where to focus your website speed optimization efforts. I usually use GTmetrix for evaluation due to the clear information and clean user interface provided. Just register a free GTMetrix account to access more functionality e.g. different test server region. Extra details on website speed optimization.

WordPress.org is a free and open source software that has helped millions of people launch blogs online. In fact, WordPress.org is so popular that it powers 24% of all websites. That’s one heck of a social recommendation! WordPress.org blogs perform well for search engine optimization (SEO for short). SEO is the practice of making your blog rank high in search engines like Google. The higher you rank, the more readers you get. Open source means you can play around with the code. The upshot of this is you get complete control over the look and feel of your blog. It would be like being in charge of the font, color and image on your physical book cover. The caveat is that you’ll need some technical skill (or money to hire a techie) to take full advantage of this flexibility.

Describing itself as a “blogging platform designed to help you think”, Svbtle is fairly similar to Medium in approach. Like Medium, it strips everything right back, resulting in a bold, stylish experience that pushes words to the fore. It could easily become your favourite blogging platform for the act of writing, but it again relies on you also wanting something extremely simple and not caring a jot about customisation.

Drupal is a great option for blogs associated with businesses because it is not just a blogging platform, but a complete content management system. This means that along with your blog, web pages and other online content can be created and organized within this platform. Drupal does not host blogs for users, so bloggers using this platform will have to find their own host someplace else. Drupal is also not a platform that readily accommodates beginners, so it is better for those upgrading from a free blogging platform rather than for the blogger just starting out.

Register a domain. You can get a domain name (e.g. goinswriter.com) through your hosting company. I recommend doing it this way, so you can keep everything streamlined. With Bluehost, this service is free with a hosting plan (as opposed to paying extra through a service like Godaddy.com). If you’ve already registered a domain through another service and need to host it, you’ll either have to transfer your domain registration or point your name servers to the host (here’s a video on how to do that). One more thing to mention: Your blog is going to be a milestone for your life. Building a blog is building yourself an “Internet home”, even if it’s only to enjoy making something by yourself. You can make a small commitment to what you’re interested in and create a collection of such pieces as stories and photos around your topic. You will be amazed at where you end up in time!

The first element you need to shop for is a domain. Having a domain name is like buying property and giving an address for your new website. You need to make sure that your domain name is brandable or, at least, keyword rich. You should choose a domain with either .com, .org, or .net. If you purchase through Bluehost, you will get a free domain and that is a decent amount of saving. In case you need to buy additional domains, GoDaddy is one of the better cheap registrars. Cloudflare domain registrar: $7.85 for a .com domain, GoDaddy: $11.98 for a .com name, NameCheap: Another popular website like GoDaddy to buy a domain name

Website should not be a special thing nowadays, in fact it is a common tool that I think every business / or even an individual should have one. We are in the age of information, every information should be delivered digitally without the borders. Hence, this blog is about sharing my experience and providing guidance for any beginner or even non-tech guy to easily build a website for themselves. In my complete solution, I include the factors of website performance, building cost, building difficulty, search ranking when writing the blog. With these guidance, you can easily build a WordPress website yourself which is low cost, fast and rank higher in search engine. More info on WPBuilderMaster.
