Normally these secrets are very well-kept by website designers, but today, because it’s you… let’s reveal some mysteries of WordPress.
But please don’t tell anyone that we’ve told you, but the developers are going to kill us… ?
Come on, go ahead and let you read on.
WordPress is a CMS, that is, a content management system.
With it, you can create a website, for example, for your online business. And you can also build a blog with which to implement SEO and improve the positioning of your website.
So we can say that with WP you get to have the static of a web page and the dynamic of a blog.
This content manager is one of the leaders and one of the most used by web designers. I will only tell you: 1 of every 4 websites that there are on the Internet, are made with it.
With this CMS, you can get a very professional corporate website.
Helping you with plugins, widgets and, above all, the thousands and thousands of existing templates to customize to your liking.
In addition, with the previous development and design of the experts, it can then be handled and edited by anyone. Therefore, it is easy to handle.
Its main features and advantages are:
We’ve told you so far what exactly WP is, and then we’re going to explain those curiosities that I don’t want you to tell anyone else, do you promise me?
Considering that the vast majority of the world’s population browses the Internet through their smartphone, you have to be prepared.
On the one hand, there are the UI patterns, which help this design and solve problems that arise.
It will improve the navigation of users who enter your website, so they will feel at ease and in turn may increase the average time spent.
On the other hand, we have the Mobile First. That the design of the web is responsible with the design of smartphone, is already an obligation and not an option.
With this Mobile First model, we can start there, and then adapt it to desktop mode.
When someone starts to put things into a web page, very striking elements and in excess, it surely means that it is a newbie.
Because the most aesthetic is quite the opposite. It is much better to use few fonts and few colors, no more than 4, and that fit in tune with the corporate colors.
If we divide the screen into 9 parts equally, we can organize the web better.
We will be able to investigate which are the points in which a user is most fixed, see where we put the things we want to highlight, leave blank spaces, etc.
One of the reasons why WP is so used globally, is because of its strong security, since authentication is two-step.
It consists of there being 2 elements by which to access your page. They can be 2 passwords, or a password and a question. That’s decided by the owner of the WP.
Related to the previous point, even if it is SUPER safe, there is always some point where the best hacker in the world can steal the web.
So always at the end of the day WP backs you up just in case.
More secrets for your safety. You can hide the WP version number. If the hacker knows that number, it is easier for them to attack the web.
Install the “Remove WordPress Version” plugin and other less concern.
You can change the URL to enter, the “wp-admin” that everyone uses, for another URL, and so they will not know how to enter your website.
And you can also change the way you get into it. Let me explain, you usually need the WP username to access, but you can change that and, for example, have it accessed with email.
With the installation of a plugin like “Editorial Calendar”, you can prepare blog articles, and you are programming them in the calendar so that they are published whenever you want.
This goes great if you have a blog where you post quite often and need order and organization.
I would do well, for example, hehe.
If you need to make “reforms” on your website and do not want users to enter, there is the possibility of activating the maintenance mode.
With the URL, you will redirect them to a page with a message telling them this, and asking them to come back later when we are ready.
With the help of another plugin like “Anti-SPAM” you can block all comments coming from bots, and it will not be necessary for people who comment and are real, to make the CAPTCHA control.
This plugin will detect the behavior of bots automatically.
