WordPress Plug-in Hell

WordPress users must manage plug-ins carefully to avoid overloading their site and harming SEO. Overuse of resource-intensive plug-ins like JetPack and Yoast can lead to a sluggish site and HTTP 504 Errors. An effective strategy to identify problematic plug-ins is the ‘Plug-in Wipe Out Game,’ where all plug-ins are deactivated, then reactivated individually to test their impact on site performance. The author’s experience shows Yoast caused significant slowdown, indicating it may not handle large sites well, leading them to consider Rank Math as an alternative. Site performance is vital for search engine visibility, so finding the right balance of plug-ins is critical.

Guest Posts Stop The Madness

Guest Posts: Please Stop the Madness

Guest posts used to be a way to build a new bloggers reputation quickly, however they are mostly ignored by most site owners these days. Why would someone give you access to their audience with no previous knowledge of you? Would you hand a stranger the keys to your car? Guest Posts are a scam.

SEO Trolls

Trolls Love SEO?

The internet troll brigades, including foreign actors, are using SEO tricks to spread misinformation and manipulate online platforms. They focus on building reputation, advertising, and influence to push their agendas. Trolls also employ AI-based tools and have deep pockets for advertising, making it challenging to distinguish them from genuine users. This behavior aligns with the concept of #fakenews, as trolls create fake websites to disseminate misleading information. Understanding their tactics can help in recognizing and combating their influence.

The presentation also delves into hacking threats and the nascent legal awareness of cryptocurrencies in 2011, with no mention of its use in ransomware. Warren Buffet’s strong opinions on cryptocurrencies are also mentioned.

How Does Ransomware Work?

Ransomware works by encrypting data on an infected computer or locking users out, then demanding a ransom for it to be unlocked. One known version of this malware is Wanna Decryptor (also known as WannaCry or WCRY), which is constantly evolving. In a widespread cyber attack, hackers spread ransomware throughout hospitals by infecting computer networks, causing significant damage. Preventive measures include backing up all data regularly, restricting user access, and educating users about possible cyber attacks. Experts discourage paying the ransom as it funds criminal activities and doesn’t guarantee data restoration. #Malware #Bitcoin #Wannacry
