A photographer from Qatar. An insurance company from Chicago. A hypnotist from Australia. A photo booth manufacturer from Texas. A bamboo salt distributor from Malaysia. A cryotherapy spa from Pennsylvania (among dozens of others)… What exactly do all these small businesses have in common? They all rank #1 in Google for their target search phrase, […]

If you’ve been paying attention to our SEO newsletter (subscribe for free at bottom of this page), we recently released an intriguing free plugin for WooCommerce sites called Disable Cart Fragments. This plugin, inspired by several “speed” discussions that took place across the WordPress-sphere in the past few years, simply and effectively disables the AJAX […]

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 […]

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.

It’s been a while, perhaps, since a far-reaching development in the world of internet technology has caused so much, well… public-facing controversy — but, then again, it has also been over 15 years since the last version of the HTTP protocol was released, that being HTTP version 1.1 which went fully live way back in […]
