There are a number of reasons why you may want to prevent search engines from indexing your website. You could want to stay away from web crawlers temporarily (if you’re working on developing your site in a live environment) or permanently (if your WordPress website is actually a private blog).

Thankfully, there are a number of ways you can prevent search engines from indexing your site from adding code snippets to the robots.txt file to using plugins and configuring your Google Search Console settings.

There’s a reason WordPress is the most popular content management system. Its powerful feature set and flexibility separates it from other blogging platforms. And one such feature is the ability to create, manage, and display custom post types.

Custom post types are special posts in WordPress that let you define a new structure for different types of content. They make it easier for you to upload content and let you fine tune how it appears on your site’s front-end.

Why do some prospects stay and others leave? How can you measure your site’s effectiveness and the user engagement it generates? The answer to all these questions can be summed up in two words: A/B testing.

In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about A/B testing WordPress pages. We’ll also show you how you can take a practical, scientific approach to A/B testing in WordPress. And finally, we’ll wrap up with a section on some of the best plugins and tools you can use to A/B test your website.

Let’s get started!

You’re probably already using Google Analytics to track all kinds of traffic-related metrics like page views, bounce rates, and average session duration. What if you could kick things up a notch and track how your visitors interact with on-page elements like buttons, forms, and embedded videos?

PowerPoint presentations offer a great way to communicate structured information to your viewership. And if you’re thinking about sharing them on your site to recap presentations that you’ve delivered, propose new product ideas to clients, offer how-to guides, or communicate your product’s features, then you’re going to need to find a way to embed them in your website.

There are so many sites out there that look alike. And for this reason, selecting a theme that is both unique and feature-rich is difficult. WordPress’ flexible customization options allow you to modify a theme’s appearance and make it unique simply by tweaking its CSS.

That said, getting started with CSS customization and modification can be a daunting task – especially if you shy away from code. Thankfully, WordPress makes CSS modifications profoundly simple.

WordPress is a powerful content management system (CMS). It has all sorts of content publishing tools including a basic HTML text editor. However, if you’re going to be designing HTML pages or feel more comfortable adding content to your site in HTML code, then looking for high-quality HTML editors just might be worth your while.

Have you ever tried to upload a large media file to your site’s Media Library? Chances are you ended up getting an error message saying that the file exceeded the WordPress upload limit.

You’re new to WordPress and your site doesn’t seem to be working the way it should. The first thing that crosses your mind is: How do I fix this? You start searching different variations of your query on Google and posting questions on support forums but still aren’t able to find a fix.

Thankfully, there are a number of high-authority sites and forums where you can get support for your theme, plugin, or general WordPress query. Since WordPress is an open-source platform, most of the people behind the scenes helping you out aren’t part of an official WordPress support team.

As an online business owner, web developer, or blogger, you may have needed to set up a countdown timer on your WordPress website at some point. Regardless of whether it is meant to create hype for an upcoming product, let visitors know when your site will be ready, or keep track of a public event, a countdown timer can be pretty handy to have.

As your WordPress website continues to grow, you may notice that its page loading time gradually starts to increase. This can lead to a lower search engine ranking and loss in your website’s traffic. Fortunately, you can install a WordPress caching solution to improve your site’s loading time manifold. Caching allows you to store a static version of your website in the visitor’s browser so that your site loads faster the next time they decide to visit it.

With this in mind, in this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about WordPress caching and suggest some tools that you can use to leverage caching to its full potential. By the time you’re done reading this post, you’ll hopefully have a better understanding of how WordPress caching works and why it’s a good idea to install a caching plugin on your site.

Let’s get right to it!

WordPress domain mapping is a pretty neat feature. Should you ever find yourself needing to redirect a domain to a folder on your primary website or start offering reseller services like WordPress.com to open up new streams of income, then you may want to give this method a shot.

Domain mapping can be a bit difficult to grasp. Thankfully, WordPress offers plugin solutions that take the heavy lifting out of it. With this in mind, in this post, we’ll show you how you can get started with WordPress domain mapping and suggest some plugins to help you map your parked domains. But before we begin, let’s take a closer look at what domain mapping is and why you’d want to map your domains in the first place.

Google Analytics is a powerful analytics tool that allows website owners to monitor who visits their site, which pages they’ve been looking at, and how they got there. Tracking these metrics (in addition to a number of others) makes it possible to boost your site’s conversion rates, increase product sales, and grow traffic.

Having some insight into how your target audience interacts with your site is vital. Fortunately, integrating Google Analytics with WordPress is a cakewalk – all you have to do is install a plugin, configure its settings, and you’re good to go.

With this in mind, in this post, we’ll show you how you can integrate Google Analytics to your WordPress site – the easy way – and cover some essential metrics that you should be tracking. But before we begin, let’s take a look at why it’s a good idea to have Google Analytics in the first place.
