    WP Rocker

    One of the problems with caching plugins is that people assume it's the solution to page-insight issues, when it isnt. If, for example your getting content-layout-shift issues in your page-insights report, that is an issue you should be resolving in the code of your site (probably the css)...

    Hiring an SEO expert that uses AI - Heads up!

    Firstly, sympathies, as this sounds like a torid situation to be in. What I would say is that SEO and AI can co-exist. Frankly, if you have someone undertaking SEO, and they arent leveraging AI to assist them, they probably arent making great use of their/your time. That of course doesnt mean...

    Down, down and down hill

    urgh I have no idea why that would be; Looking back at my messages...I mentioned it to Ozzy that my membership wasn't renewing and he said; "Don’t suppose you could drop an email to [email protected] My colleague will take a look." I sent the question via email but never got a reply.

    Down, down and down hill

    Got to say I barely come on nowadays. The forum has become so stripped back of everything I used to find useful, that it really isnt worth contributing any more. I'm a paid member, and have been for 10+ years. Yet I can't post a message anymore in the private forums without further upgading...

    Sustainable Web Designers

    Web Design agencies aren't really the right target audience you need to talk to when it comes to websites and carbon emissions. The emissions don't come from websites, they come from computer hardware, such as servers, switches, hubs, UPSs, cooling equipment etc etc. Any change in the carbon...

    How to get more clients for my graphic design business?

    SEO Content writing

    That would be an extremely risky strategy. I would definitely agree that chat GPT is useful when brainstorming content ideas, it definitely shouldn't be used to publish content in a copy/paste manner. Certainly not for SEO purposes. Google have said that they consider articles written by...

    Car parts supplier for online trade

    Some experience yes. There is a lot of drop-shipping happens in the car-parts niche, partly due to the size and weight of components, and partly due to low margins and competitive nature. A quick google search will reveal lots of wholesalers who drop-ship anything from brake pads to batteries...

    Is GTM worthwhile?

    From what you describe, it sounds like it has been implemented purely for Analytics. If that's the case, and you don't wish to use Google analytics, then yes, you could remove it. Keeping in mind the launch/roll-out of GA4, it may be that you need to review your implementation soon anyway. In...

    £250 charge to migrate website hosting.

    It very much depends on the platform the website is built on, and what the hourly rate of the developer is. If his hourly rate is (£80 for example), it's totally feasible that the work involved in migrating and testing could take a few hours. Add in the logistics around swapping accounts over...

    Where have the all the good website builders gone?

    Coming at this from an agency perspective. I've run a digital marketing agency for just over 10 years, and during that time worked with countless developers, and designers. I've also used UpWork. The problem you will always have with UpWork is that anyone can register there. Anyone, sadly...

So you can see if the traffic came from social media, directly, via google organic, paid ads or referrals. You can click on each channel, and see further segments....so...
