Submit an XML sitemap to Google

Are you taking advantage of a sitemap for your website? This essential file provides crucial information about your website's pages, videos, and other files to help search engines like Google better understand your site's structure and content.

By submitting a sitemap to search engines, you can help Google Bots crawl and index your site more efficiently, resulting in improved search engine visibility and better rankings.

Speed Optimization

There's no debate – website speed is crucial for online success. With lightning-fast internet speeds becoming the norm, a slow-loading page can turn visitors away before they even have a chance to engage with your content.

Research has shown that website speed can impact everything from bounce rates and user satisfaction to conversions and revenue. In today's fast-paced digital world, visitors expect a seamless browsing experience, and a slow website can lead to frustration and a loss of trust in your brand.

But it's not just visitors that care about speed – search engines do too. Google considers page load speed as a ranking factor, meaning a slow site can hurt your search engine visibility and hinder your online growth.

Server Level Caching

We use a special web server called Litespeed, which uses server-level caching integrated specifically.

Website Caching

We use a premium WordPress plugin designed to speed up your website in a variety of ways including Database Optimization, Minification of HTML, CSS, and Javascript files, deferred loading, and more.

Content Delivery Network (CDN)

Our clients have the option to be set up with Cloudflare, which is considered the best Content Delivery Network (CDN) available in the market.

By using a CDN, copies of your site are stored on servers located around the world. This shortens the distance between users and your website, resulting in faster load times. In addition, a CDN helps with load balancing in case of unexpected traffic spikes.

You may think that since you run a local business, there's no need to worry about people all over the world accessing your website. However, Google considers site load time when ranking websites in local search results, and a CDN has a significant impact on site load time. At wpGuate, we want our clients to have an edge over their competitors, which is why we highly recommend using a CDN.

Enable SSL Certificate

Enabling an SSL certificate is crucial for any website today. SSL, which stands for Secure Sockets Layer, is a protocol that encrypts data transmitted between a web server and a user's browser. This encryption ensures that any information exchanged between the two remains private and secure.

There are several reasons why enabling an SSL certificate is essential for a website:

1. Security: Enabling SSL ensures that any sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or personal data, exchanged on your website is secure from prying eyes. This can help protect both your website and your users from malicious attacks, identity theft, and other security threats.
2. Search engine optimization: Google considers SSL as a ranking factor in its search algorithm. Websites that use SSL are more likely to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs) than those that don't, improving your website's visibility and potential for organic traffic.
3. User trust: Visitors to your website are more likely to trust and engage with a site that uses SSL. Seeing the padlock icon in the browser address bar or the HTTPS protocol in the URL can give users peace of mind that their information is safe, leading to increased user engagement and conversions.

At our company, we take the security of your website very seriously. It is our responsibility to ensure that your site is always safe from hackers and malware. That's why we offer ongoing WordPress security services and a team of experts who will quickly and carefully remove any malware found on your site - all at no extra cost to you.

Our security measures include regular checks to make sure that your site is running on the latest version of WordPress, PHP, and all plugins and themes are updated. We also scan for any extraneous plugins and themes, spam comments, and provide active monitoring to detect and remove any light malware.

In addition, we offer one-time security settings such as configuring security keys, restricting access to files and directories, disabling scripts concatenation, and blocking unauthorized access to sensitive files.

Should your site become infected with malware, rest assured that our team of WordPress experts will swiftly and carefully remove it free of charge. However, it's important to note that if the malware was added through a compromised password, an easily updated plugin, or other vulnerabilities, we will resolve the security issue but additional development work to replace vulnerable plugins may not be included.

To further ensure that your site is secure, we offer spam prevention tools including Akismet, a premium plugin that is included at no additional cost for our customers. Akismet uses crowd-sourced data and algorithms to fight spam, deleting spam submissions automatically or adding them to the database to improve future spam detection.

Our team will install and configure Akismet to protect your site against spam comments and form submissions, ensuring that your site stays secure and spam-free.

Website Caching – Sever Level Intgration

One of the best benefits of using Litespeed is LSCache, a WordPress plugin that’s built specifically to integrate with Litespeed’s server-level caching. LSCache also offers a variety of WordPress optimization features such as HTML, CSS, and JS file minification, image optimization.

Regular updates help to patch security vulnerabilities and keep your website safe from cyber attacks.
2. Bug Fixes: Software updates also include bug fixes, which can improve the functionality and performance of your website. Bug fixes can address issues with compatibility, broken links, or other technical issues that can impact user experience.
3. New Features: Updates may also introduce new features, functionality, and improvements to your website. These new features can enhance your website's performance, improve user experience, and make it more efficient.
4. Compatibility: Regular updates ensure that your website remains compatible with new versions of WordPress and other software tools. This ensures that your website remains accessible and functional, even as technology continues to evolve.

WpGuate customers gain access to a suite of premium plugins which would cost over $1,000 if purchased individually.

The plugins we offer are commonly used by small businesses and organizations. Normally each website would need to purchase its own individual license for each plugin.

Our team is available via email and our ticket system during regular office hours, which are Monday-Friday, 9-5 pm, CST.
