    Website Management

    Website Hosting

    A good website host can make or break your website in terms of meeting the Google Core Web Vitals. I use Cloudways and can highly recommend them in terms of speed, ease of use and pricing. I recently had to scale up my server and it was super easy!

    Themes

    Choosing a theme can be fun or it can be super stressful. There are a ton of free themes out there, and I tried a few before I got serious and went with the Feast Design Plugin which is geared towards Recipe or Food Blogs.

    This plugin gives you step-by-step instructions with regards to building a blog, helps with your SEO, and website speed, and gives you a beautiful blog.

    Plugins

    Once you have your domain name, your hosting, and WordPress installed with your host, you will need a few Plugins to extend the usability of the core WordPress.

    • Security Plugin - Wordfence
    • Website Backup Plugin - Updraft Plus
    • Theme - Feast Design
    • Website speed - WP Rocket
    • Image - Imagify
    • Recipe Card - WP Recipe Maker
    • Site Analytics - Google Site Kit - I now just have the GA/GSC tags inserted into my header
    • Web Stories - Google Web Stories
    • Social Sharing - Grow by Mediavine
    • SEO - Yoast
