The past two weeks, I’ve sent you two spring-cleaning challenges, and today’s the third and final one with five tasks to tackle. (Missed them? Find them here and here.)
Here’s what to do:
- Ensure you only have two themes in WordPress: your current live theme and one alternative one as your backup. I use the official WordPress theme Twenty Seventeen for the backup. Don’t keep more than two, unless you’re currently trying out a bunch of themes.
- Check your footer says © 2018. Ideally, the year is updated automatically, but not every theme does this. Hunt around your theme files to adjust if needed.
- Fix broken links. Add your website here to find those links.
- Check your site speed. Add your website here. Biggest reasons why your site loads slowly? Too many scripts (plugins, ad code) and poorly optimized images.
- Check for any crawl issues or errors in Google Search Console. Check your website here.
