WordPress website performance and security bootcamp
Protect your website and help increase conversions.
Alright recruits, fall in! Even websites need to train. Maybe you built yours by yourself, maybe your developer’s gone AWOL. Doesn’t matter. In this bootcamp we’ll get it in fighting form: tighter security, faster and ready for action.
You don’t need fancy gear to train, and neither does your website. Forget blowing the budget, we prioritise free tools that get the job done. Let’s move!
Fact: An insecure website is a disaster waiting to happen for your business.
Fortunately we can greatly reduce the risk of your site being compromised, minimise spam and help you get back up and running if the worst happens.
Fact: Faster websites sell more.
Performance directly affects user experience, especially on mobile where connections are slower and less reliable. Visitors won’t wait for websites that take too long to load. Speed has also been shown time and again to have a significant impact on conversion rates.
