Last time, we covered off on a few interesting bits and pieces around making sure your website's fast, and that was all from a coding perspective. Today we're going to talk about how to make your website fast in ways that you can't control.
Following on from the success of the last two videos, today we're going to talk about how you can tell how many people are actually with the same host and provider as you.
So this is important to make sure that you're not with someone who's selling to dozens or hundreds of people. You want to make sure they're only a couple of people or only a few people to keep your website real quick.
Speed up your website. Come on guys, you've got to do this! So many people that we see, so many companies that we deal with have these websites that load so slowly. Seriously, if your website loads slowly, people aren't going to go there. You're better off just not having a website at all. Imagine if you had a business card. You go to hand it to someone, but it was written on a napkin. That would be so embarrassing!
We're going to be talking about websites and why building a website isn't just a once off activity. A lot of business owners build a website, and they think, "oh, okay, it's made, it's done and it's finished." They think of it like it is a book. But the problem is that it isn't like a book. It's more like a car. When you make a car sometimes it works really well but sometimes it doesn't.
If you're still on holidays, you might be writing up some new content for your website. Even if you're not on holidays, it's a very sensible idea to do this, because the Google search engine rankings will go through the roof when they see a lot of changing content on your website. Whatever you do, don't steal other peoples content. You want to write it yourself. I know you're busy, it happens, but if you don't have time to write yourself you can outsource work.
