Quick tips on design, file formats and cybersecurity.
Even a small website or email account can fall under attack. Weak passwords, outdated plugins, or phishing emails are often exploited to access data, send spam, or disrupt a website.
PHP is a programming language that powers much of the backend of WordPress and other websites. If you're using an outdated version of PHP, your site may slow down, experience compatibility issues, and increase security risks.
A good password is long, unique, and not related to your name, date of birth, or simple words. The safest way to do this is to use a password manager, which helps you create and store strong passwords without having to remember them all.
Two-factor authentication means that your password alone is not enough to log in. Even if your password falls into the wrong hands, you still need another form of verification to access your account, such as a code generated on your phone.
Plugin updates not only bring new features, but often also fix security holes and bugs. If updates are delayed for too long, your website may become insecure or start to crash after other changes.
If your website breaks down, gets infected with malware, or something is accidentally deleted, a backup can help you restore it. Without a working backup, repairs can be much more expensive, time-consuming, or, in the worst case, impossible.
JPG is generally suitable for photos, PNG for images with transparent backgrounds, SVG for logos and icons, and PDF for sharing or printing. Choosing the right format helps maintain both quality and usability.
If image files are too large, the browser will take longer to load them and use more data. As a result, the page loads more slowly, which degrades the user experience and may cause visitors to leave before the content even appears.
A screenshot is not a true logo file, as its quality is limited and it cannot be used correctly in different sizes or in print. The logo should be available in appropriate file formats so that it remains sharp on the web, on social media, and in print materials.
A domain is the web address used to find you. Web hosting is the space on a server where your website’s files are stored, and the website itself is the content and layout that visitors see in their browser.
Suspicious emails often try to create a sense of urgency, direct you to an unknown link, or get you to open a file. Before clicking, it’s a good idea to check the sender’s address, the language used, and whether the email makes any sense at all.
If a website takes a long time to load, visitors quickly lose patience and move on to the next provider. Slow performance not only affects the user experience but also erodes trust, as a slow or glitchy website gives the impression of being unprofessional.
