30 WordPress website audits in 30 days. The lessons I learned
Tony Cosentino
We all know how to build a WordPress website right?
Wrong.
Tony recently reviewed 30 websites in 30 days and found it was a journey of discovery. He saw the good, the bad, the ugly and a site with over 100 plugins. He’ll share the 10 main problems that he saw in all these websites. 10 issues to avoid. 10 fixes to fix. And get a checklist to ensure every site is everything it can be and more.
Tony has been a WordPress developer since 2008, and his latest passion is doing website health checks to give any WordPress website a thorough checkup for the owner or even a developer for a 2nd set of eyes sanity check.
