2 Improvements to Increase Your Websites Performance and Income with One Hour of Effort!

hey Jon,
thanks for your post! I have recently bought my first website and now I am thinking about various strategies to improve it. The CloudFare thing was the first thing on my mind, and optimizing the most visited pages was hanging somewhere in the bottom of my subconsciousness. Your post brought it on the top 🙂

Very interesting, Jon. Would you use the CloudFlare strategy on niche money sites, authority sites or both? I use it to set up some PBN’s and it works great for hiding IP’s and DNS info from an otherwise “visible” network, but of course, tracking and Analytics data aren’t monitored on these to have noticed Bounce Rate and site speed improvements.

The 2nd one could even be expanded to build off of your success. Aside from converting on my top pages, I also look at the top search keywords for my site and write other articles that can take advantage of these rankings.

Cloudflare’s great. But a bounce rate that low usually indicates a doubling-up of the Google Analytics code. That dramatic a shift is unheard of without some technical reason being the issue.

Thanks Jon for a short but useful post.

just to share my related experience.

Another solution for speeding up the website is to use Sucuri Firewall. It’s actually a security service that protects you from hackers, but it also offers a caching option for free.

So it basically does the work that CloudFlare, MaxDN and other CDNs do, but only caching everything on one server. For example I use a US server as my main traffic goes from US. It makes my site faster.

I’ve found out this caching option when making a review of security solutions on my blog and was glad to use it as a free add-on.

Also, for one of my clients I improved the performance of the website from 7 sec to about 3 sec (there was a heavy page with JS scripts and images). And CDN did not help much because the main traffic was from one city. So after experimenting for about a week, I ended up with the following outcomes:
– I used fast and reliable hosting
– I used caching plugin W3TotalCache
– I used Speed Booster Pack.
I tried different combinations of caching plugins and other plugins that pack and reduce the network traffic, and for the website I worked on it was the best option. Although it can be individually for each website which plugins to use.
What I liked the most is that I did not spend a cent for that (my time does not count though 🙂 )

Hello Jon,

Cool advice about CDNs as a front-end to a website. From one of your old posts, I thought your favorite host provider was HostGator https://authoritywebsiteincome.com/setup-website-in-wordpress/

But things seem to have changed for the better with SiteGround. I will keep this in mind for my next niche website.

Hello Jon,
I love the idea of figuring out your 5 most performing posts via Google analytics and then monetizing them specially, I’ve heard a success story of someone that did this tweak and got a very tremendous result.
