From time to time I keep refreshing my page-speed stats for my website to get the new figures. For the last couple of days they reached 90's mark - all green.

Hey Ash,

Page speed also relies on how many other websites are being viewed on the same shared server at the time you are testing your site too.

Continually testing your website like this you only cause issues with other's site speeds too because it is making the server busier.

Making sure you have only the absolute necessary plugins, along with a fully optimized theme (which should help reduce the necessity for many plugins), and optimized images is the best way you can help to speed up your website loading time.

Hope you find this helpful.

They seem to change so frequently and dramatically we have stopped checking.

No I don't do that 😀

Lol yeah I know the feeling well :)

haha - I do that for everything - rankings, page-speed, number of views - the lot..

I have to discipline myself and only check about once a fortnight or else I go nuts (and waste a lot of time looking at stats and not doing anything)

Yes, lol!

Sure. No one likes bad news.

But in the end, we have to deal with the facts as they are, not as we'd like them to be :-)

Does anybody else do the same thing?

Can anyone throw light on how these image optimizers do the image count for optimization?

I have 32 images in the library (physical count) and when I run bulk optimizati

Your word press site actually creates 5 or 6 different image sizes when you import an image , the number of images created depends on the theme you are using .. Hope this helps

Is there a way to see this? And then control it?
Thanks

Can anyone tell me 2 things:

1. Does Jaaxy ever put on a BFCM sale?

2. Where can I find photos/pictures on WA? I think this is advertised as one of the things ava

Hi Ash,
As far as I know, the Jaxxy Pro and Jaxxy Enterprise Upgrades have never been on sale.

Susan is right about the free photos/images ( the claim is a million) being found at Site Content next to the spell checker (ABC) and is green in color.

Best wishes for success.

Bill & Sue

Thank you Bill & Sue.

Hey Ash,

Here's Carson's post about the free images available on WA: Hope you find this helpful.

Great. Thanks

Ash,

As a WA member, we get Jaaxy Lite free - I do not know about
a Black Friday Special for it.

And the images and photos offered by WA can be found
in Site Content the small icon that looks like two little
mountains at the top :)

Susan

Got that! Thanks

Has someone been able to crack this one?

If you follow, say, X number of people then only less than 50% of X follow back! This baffles me more than the training on here!

I thank everyone and I read EVERY profile. While some may be padding their rank and number of followers, I have met some extraordinary individuals from across this big blue marble we live on. My website will always be there and needing work. I can live with that.

Thank you for your inputs

I do try to check all my emails and where someone has followed me, I go to their website and follow them back.
I feel it is a privilege to be followed and I like to return the favour.
Sometimes I may miss an email, due to life factors, so that could be a possibility in your case. I don't believe it would ever be deliberately done
So just keep on doing what you are doing, I may be wrong, but the training here is what you are here for and me.
Keep following , it will all work out
Michele

Thanks Michelle

Do what you think is right.

Pretty much! Thanks

Hey Ash,

This is much like the "Like This" button.

Many members enjoy the training... even say so in comments, but they fail to click the "Like This" button to give the member the credit deserved.

Liking another member's WA helpful comments, blog posts, and training is a nice way of saying "Thank YOU" ...yet, many members forget to do that too.

I used to try to figure out who was not following me back here at WA, but now I'm too busy creating content to worry about that.

Once I receive an email notice of someone following me on the platform, I try my best to be quick to reciprocate by following them back.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thanks Trish. Yes, you are right there. "I try my best to be quick to reciprocate by following them back."

Someone told me that some of the people you follow are no longer active. I also find that if I don't comment that I have "followed" someone, they may not even be aware that I am following them.

I wrote this post when I first started because I was curious... There were some good responses on it. Best wishes,
Karin :)

Good one. Thanks Karin

Ash,
When you follow someone they honestly should give you a follow back it builds the people in your community as well as theirs :)
When you do follow someone it is best if you leave a message
with the follow introduce yourself so on :)
I try to follow so many new members each month when I do this is the message I send:

" Welcome to WA nice to have you with us. I have given you a
follow to get your community started. Any questions please do
not hesitate to ask. "

Not perfect but you get the idea :)

Right. You too have a better follow back of about 75%
Thanks

A helpful hint: If you also write on their wall when you follow them, chances are that they'll follow you back. :)

Erin :)!

Yes, looks like it helps somewhat as I see your follow back is about 75%. Thanks

I know, probably like in other social media platforms.
However, that's how you can build your network here at WA :)

Very right, Victor.
