Performance and optimisation of WordPress websites

Site performance is one of the most important things to consider when managing WordPress websites. A fast-loading site is the foundation for SEO success and a better user experience (UX). Here are some key factors affecting performance:

• Hosting: Choosing fast and reliable hosting is the foundation of a smoothly running website.
• Image optimisation: Reducing the size of images before adding them to the page significantly improves loading speed.
• Compression of resources: Use of CSS, JavaScript and HTML compression tools.

WordPress website security

Security is another key aspect of managing WordPress websites. Effective protection against online attacks and regular updates reduce the risk of data loss and have a positive impact on SEO. It is worth taking care of:

• Regular updates: Systematic updates to WordPress, plugins and themes ensure protection against the latest threats.
• Security scanning: Using tools to scan your site for threats.
• Appropriate permission settings: Management of user rights to minimise the risk of manipulation.

Administration of WordPress websites

Administration is the day-to-day work of maintaining and optimising WordPress websites. Effective management includes:

• Performance monitoring: Regularly checking the speed and responsiveness of the website and fixing any problems.
• Data backup: Create regular backups to quickly restore the site in the event of a disaster.
• SEO audit: Periodic analysis for compliance with SEO best practices.

SEO optimisation of WordPress websites

SEO is a key element in increasing a website's visibility in search results. Optimising the content and structure of the site is the basis of any SEO strategy. It is worth paying attention to:

Content: Unique, valuable content attracts users and has a positive impact on SEO. Good content is:

• Keywords: Including relevant keywords in article content, headings and meta descriptions.
• Content structure: Using H1, H2, H3 headings to organise content in articles.
• Internal linking: Linking pages within the site, which strengthens SEO and makes it easier for users to navigate.
