Integrate your&nbsp;site with Google Analytics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/analytics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Analytics<\/a> is a tracking and marketing tool that every website owner should use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It tracks your audience and their actions on your site. It comes with detailed information about everything&nbsp;related to your site&rsquo;s content and visitors, such as the most viewed pages, conversion rates, the number of visits per day, in-depth user profiles, bounce rates, and lots of other essential stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tool is free and can be easily integrated with your WordPress site through an embed code provided by Google. Alternatively, you can use a plugin like <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/google-analytics-for-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Analytics by MonsterInsights<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-3-activate-caching\">3. Activate caching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed is one of the keys to keeping your visitors on the site. Who likes to wait for a page to load, right? No one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.kissmetrics.com\/loading-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">if a page takes more than 3 seconds to load, 40% of people abandon it<\/a>, according to Kissmetrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to avoid this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One solution is to install a caching plugin &ndash; to reduce the overall page loading times. There are free caching plugins out there, for instance&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/w3-total-cache\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">W3 Total Cache<\/a> or our very own <strong>Super Page Cache<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper align-center large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin wp-pic-ajax scheme2\" id=\"wp-pic-wp-cloudflare-page-cache\" data-type=\"plugin\" data-slug=\"wp-cloudflare-page-cache\" data-image=\"\" data-expiration=\"\" data-layout=\"large\" data-slugs=\"[]\"><div class=\"wp-pic-body-loading\"><div class=\"signal\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- .wp-pic-wrapper--><link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"dashicons-css\" href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/css\/dashicons.min.css?ver=6.8.5\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\">\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"wppic-style-css\" href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/dist\/wppic-styles.css?ver=6.1.1\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1\" id=\"jquery-core-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1\" id=\"jquery-migrate-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"wppic-script-js-extra\">\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\nvar wppicAjax = {\"ajaxurl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/themeisle.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-admin\\\/admin-ajax.php\"};\n\/* ]]> *\/\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/assets\/js\/wppic-script.min.js?ver=6.1.1\" id=\"wppic-script-js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Caching is a fairly complicated process, but to simplify it a bit, it&rsquo;s about fetching the dynamic output of a WordPress site, storing it in the cache, and then serving it to every new visitor from that cache, instead of asking WordPress to generate it anew. Doing it this way takes a lot less time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-4-get-yourself-a-cdn\">4. Get yourself a CDN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another recommended step is to hook your site up to a CDN service (Content Delivery Network). A CDN is a solution that takes the content from your site and stores it on a network of servers around the world. Then, when a visitor comes to your site, they get served from the location that&rsquo;s nearest to them. Hence, they can see your site much quicker than they would otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most popular CDNs include: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keycdn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KeyCDN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CloudFlare<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/cloudfront\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon CloudFront<\/a>. (If you want something free, it&rsquo;s&nbsp;CloudFlare.)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-5-install-a-backup-plugin\">5. Install a backup plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Backup plugins will keep your site content in a safe place, in case anything bad ever happens and you need to restore your site to a previously working state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really can&rsquo;t emphasize this enough. Backup plugins are truly invaluable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular solutions right now is <strong>Updraft Plus<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper align-center large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin wp-pic-ajax scheme2\" id=\"wp-pic-updraftplus\" data-type=\"plugin\" data-slug=\"updraftplus\" data-image=\"\" data-expiration=\"\" data-layout=\"large\" data-slugs=\"[]\"><div class=\"wp-pic-body-loading\"><div class=\"signal\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- .wp-pic-wrapper-->\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-6-improve-the-nbsp-security-of-your-site\">6. Improve the&nbsp;security of your site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s a lot of bad things that can happen to a WordPress site &hellip; hacker&nbsp;attacks, malware, viruses, etc. Protecting your website from all that with a firewall of some kind is always a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sucuri.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sucuri<\/a>&nbsp;is one of the best WordPress security services out here. It provides malware detection and cleanup, monitors your site for hacks, mitigates DDoS attacks, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-opt-id=477822464  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sucuri-home-page.png\" alt=\"Sucuri homepage.\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>For a free solution, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordfence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wordfence Security<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/better-wp-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solid Security<\/a>. Both quite good at what they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use the aforementioned <a href=\"https:\/\/refer.wordpress.com\/r\/240\/jetpack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jetpack<\/a> plugin here. If you pick a plan that&rsquo;s higher up the ladder you will get daily scans for malware and threats with manual resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-7-set-up-google-search-console\">7.

It will help you optimize your site SEO-wise and point you towards some of the issues with the structure of your site that you should address &ndash; to make both your visitors and Google happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically, with GSC, you can learn about things such as: the health of your internal link structure, external links pointing to your site, any sitemap problems, your popular keywords, the indexing status of your site, any&nbsp;crawl stats and errors, security issues, and much more. A true goldmine.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-8-change-your-logins\">8. Change your logins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to break into your WordPress site is to just guess your login and password. As abstract as it sounds, it&rsquo;s really the case. There are software scripts and bots that go through hundreds of thousands of passwords and try their luck with each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why you need to make sure that&nbsp;your login details are strong enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some things you can do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a new user profile for all editing purposes &ndash; the role of &ldquo;Editor.&rdquo; You can do it in the wp-admin, <em>Users \/ Add New<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit the login attempts allowed before the site is locked down. You can do it with a plugin like <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-limit-login-attempts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WP Limit Login Attempts<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use only safe passwords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store your password data with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastpass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LastPass<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-9-change-your-site-s-basic-information\">9.
