My online workshop series is launching July 14th with a free introduction to WordPress. If you’ve been shy to get WordPress set up on your site, this is your chance to have a guided tour to installation, plugins, themes, widgets, publishing content and more. Or perhaps you’ve been considering WordPress for your site and want to see how it works before trying it out for yourself.

The online workshop series will provide training on various aspects of WordPress and also general online marketing topics. Some workshops will be free and others will cost money, but will be affordably priced.  There will always be time for question and answer so it’s a good opportunity to get help on a specific issue you are facing. If there’s a topic you’d like to have a webinar dedicated to, feel free to leave a comment or drop me a line.

Google PageSpeed Insights – A Guide for WordPress Users

I’ve updated this guide based on the recent changes to the PageSpeed tool.

Listen, let’s keep it real, PageSpeed Insights is a tool best used by developers. Its intentions are good but it’s not targeted at the average WordPress site owner. Even with the recent introduction of some WordPress-specific messaging, many aspects of the report are too technical to be clearly actionable.

In this guide I’ll try to translate what PageSpeed is talking about and let you know which factors you can control, as a WordPress site owner, and which you can’t.

The basic message of PageSpeed Insights could be translated as follows:

  • Keep your pages light and simple.
  • Avoid unnecessary fanciness.
  • Consider mobile users, particularly those who pay for every byte of data.
