Why are fast WordPress loading times so important?

The performance of your website is important for four reasons in particular:

Optimized user experience

Do your website visitors want to find certain information, submit a form or buy a product and the page loads at a snail’s pace? Very few of them will wait patiently and bounce quickly.

Higher conversions

Time is money — especially when it comes to conversion optimization. Because the better the user experience of your visitors, the higher your conversions and sales. Fast loading times are therefore a must.

Better rankings

It’s not just your visitors who love fast websites. Google will also reward optimised WordPress performance with better SEO rankings. After all, the better user experience is what counts in the end.

Reliability and trust

Are you planning a promotion or have you launched a marketing campaign? If your website slows down or even crashes when traffic increases, not only will conversions suffer, but so will your reputation.

WordPress 6.9 is here and these are the most important new features

WordPress 6.9 will be released on 2 December and we’ll show you what this version has to offer. In future, you will be able to leave notes on blocks and share them with other team members. Blocks can now optionally be hidden from visitors, while they can still be edited in the backend. And developers should find the new Abilities API exciting: It is intended as a centralised register for functions. I explain what this will be used for in the future in this article. Better collaboration through “Notes” The WordPress team has committed to “collaboration” for the current phase of the Gutenberg project. And that’s a good thing, because WordPress is often used in teams and the CMS has […]

Hide WP-Admin: How effective are WPS Hide Login & Co. really?

Almost everyone knows how to reach the login barrier to the WordPress admin area by default. Since more than 34 per cent of all websites run on WordPress, it is easy for hackers to find and attack the login areas of these websites. This is precisely why such attacks, such as brute force attacks, are among the most common attacks on WordPress websites. Hiding the WP admin area seems to be a simple protective measure. Today I’ll show you how useful this technique is and how you can implement it with plugins such as WPS Hide Login. Brute force attacks are probably the most common type of attack on WordPress websites. The security provider Wordfence alone measured almost 1 billion […]

Website relaunch without losing rankings: The most important SEO hurdles and why the technical setup is crucial

A website migration is not just about technology, but also about maintaining the visibility that has grown in search engines and increasingly also in LLMs. Even small errors in redirects, indexing or performance can cause ranking losses. My article therefore highlights key SEO hurdles during migrations and how these can be made manageable with clear processes, clean staging, stable hosting and consistent monitoring. Why is a migration so sensitive from an SEO perspective? From an SEO perspective, the migration of a website is not a purely technical infrastructure change, but an intervention in a system already interpreted by search engines. Over time, a structure of URLs, internal links, technical signals and external references is created, which together characterise the visibility […]
