Does using SSL make my website secure?

Does using SSL make my website secure?

by | Sep 5, 2020 | ,

This stems from a lack of understanding about what makes a website secure versus not secure. For example, since July 24th 2018, websites that do not use SSL certificates have been...

Lets Encrypt vs Paid SSL Certificates

by | Feb 7, 2020 | , ,

Common questions I get asked by clients include:- "why does my website say not secure", "do I need SSL", "why do I need SSL, I don't sell anything on my website" and "what is the difference between paid SSL and free SSL", so I will attempt to answer those questions here as simply as possible.

Litespeed Cache issues on WordPress Multisite

Litespeed Cache issues on WordPress Multisite

by | Apr 25, 2019 |

So I fairly recently moved all my WordPress websites to Guru (which I am happy with BTW) who use LiteSpeed server. As a result I also switched over to the Litespeed cache plugin. This was working fine for about 1 month, then I started getting some weird and unwanted behavior, probably after installing updates. On every single page on my site (this one) I was getting a background image inserted that was nothing to do with my site at all as well as some other random layout and menu issues. I...

So in my quest to find something better than SiteGround, Guru were next on my list.

I have been considering moving on from Siteground when my yearly hosting expires (read my siteground review) and decided to give wpx hosting a try, so here is my wpx hosting review.

Wpx hosting seem to have almost too good to be true reputation, with positive reviews everywhere and they boast that they have superior WordPress performance and support compared to all other WP hosts, and the reviews do seem to concur, especially this one.
