7 WordPress Tips to have a Super Blog

Imagine you just bought a new car. The day you release it you are very excited with your new vehicle, so much so that you drive it throughout the city, wash it every day and take care of the smallest detail so that it always looks flawless.

Gradually, with the passing of days and weeks, the initial emotion is disappearing and you realize that having a car means much more than taking care of it and driving it.

In addition to washing and cleaning it, it is necessary to take care of the tires (and buy when necessary), carry out the necessary registration procedures, process plates, fix any mechanical problems that arise, take it to check every certain time and many other activities.

Maintaining a car takes time and effort.

The same goes for WordPress!

When we launch a blog or a website we also feel motivated and excited. We take care of all the details and we are aware that it works well at all times.

And as with a car, as time goes by we realize that we also have to perform different maintenance tasks for blogging in WordPress so that it can have optimal performance, design and can meet the established objectives.

WordPress Tips - Habits and successful practices

1. Choose a quality theme

The first WordPress tip is related to Web design. Choosing a theme or template is one of the most important decisions when creating a site or blog.

The choice goes far beyond appearance, since a good design provides security, structure, fast loading and great performance, which translates into many benefits.

2. Install necessary and appropriate plugins

Plugins are one of the main WordPress engines and their excellent performance. There are plugins for all kinds of needs, that is why we must be careful when choosing them.

3. Protect the platform

Security is another of the pillars of WordPress and the best habits you can develop in the general maintenance of your site. Many times we trust each other because we think something will never happen.

4. Constant update

With every WordPress update that comes out, important design, performance, functionality and security developments are included. That is why it is always best to quickly update to the latest versions of the platform.

5. Cleaning

With the term cleaning I mean every certain time to maintain the platform, eliminate things that are not needed and that may be taking up space or affecting the performance of the site in some way.

6. Content and sections update

Depending on the type of site you have and the theme, it is possible that the content you publish has to be reviewed and updated at some point. For example, in my case that I have a blog about WordPress, every time a new version of the platform comes out I check my published content and see what I can update that I include in the news of the update.

7. Leverage Google tools

Google cares a lot for each Webmaster (and we thank him forever :)). That is why it puts at our disposal a large number of tools that we can take advantage of to get the most out of WordPress and our online productivity.
