We recently announced that FastCGI Cache was successfully activated across our entire managed hosting network, on every single plan that we offer — accordingly, our system now auto-deletes any WordPress cache plugins it finds. FastCGI Cache, an open source cache that comes packaged inside the Nginx server, has been steadily gaining popularity over the last […]

The last few months have been hectic here at LittleBizzy, to say the least. Not only have we made several important announcements on our blog recently as we continue to shape the direction of our services, but we’ve also been undergoing a complete “network upgrade” as well. We are happy to report what we’ve finally […]

One of the most unknown features of WordPress is that it automatically compress any JPEG or JPG images that you upload via the Media manager or edit within the blog post image editing tool along with the thumbnails of the image in question. Not only does this confuse and frustrate webmasters and web designers but […]

We’ve decided to jump into the large amount of authors offering Google Analytics plugins with our own version. To put it simply, the vast majority of Google Analytics plugins for WordPress are slowing down websites — something that we’ve noticed time and again over several years of SEO consulting.

This explanation will be […]

After much consideration, we’ve decided to indefinitely suspend the WP StageCoach service that we’d been providing free of charge to all of our managed hosting clients here at LittleBizzy for around the past year and a half. (We ask any LittleBizzy clients with active staging sites to immediately find another staging site solution, as all […]

Within the next 24 hours, Git should be properly installed on all LittleBizzy servers. We made this decision after hearing from various clients and resellers, especially after observing so many Git-related plugins for WordPress released and improved in the last several months. Initially when LittleBizzy was launched nearly two years ago, we made a conscious […]

A few years back, it had already become apparent that Nginx was the brave new king of web servers, due to its impressive simplicity and ability to scale with ease. One of its most attractive features, however, was its ability to act as a “reverse proxy” either in front of an Apache server, or even […]

However, recently someone close to me achieved such an impressive amount of free web traffic without spending a dime that I simply had to share their experience! Toward the end of 2015, I had finally convinced “her” to launch a blog and […]
