Hi everybody. Can anybody offer opinion or experience on improving mobile stats on websites? I've tried a couple of ways on the WP platform and have followed some trainings her
Hi Steve,
As VitaliyG has mentioned the theme you have can affect your mobile speeds, so it is important you have a mobile friendly theme.
The next thing is to look at what things could be affecting your mobile speeds. For example, how many images you are using and have been properly re-sized. For this you may want to consider installing the Kraken Image Optimizer plugin.
The other plugin I use is Lazy Load by WP Rocket and if you are using videos I would recommend WP YouTube Lyte.
The ideal amount of plugins is supposed to be 5 but I am using 8. Too many plugins may slow your mobile speeds.
My speeds are not as good as I would like them to be but they are most of them range 80 and up. The desktop speeds, are great.
One last thing make sure you have in the site + section set to on and extreme, in the page speed insight area.
I am sure you will get more recommendations.
Best wishes,
Michael
Hi Michael. Thank you for that. Wonderful. I will look at WP YouTube Lite. I don't put video in every post but some I do for sure. Currently less than 8 plugins and Site+ is on full power. I tend to use three images on average and they are optimized. The theme is looking suspect but I will try WP YT and see if that changes anything before I look into the theme.
Great support, thank you.
Steve
Hi Steve, you are most welcome. Feel free to PM me your URL and the plugins you are using along with your site speeds, just maybe I can help.
Nest wishes,
Michael
As long as your theme is mobile friendly and you are writing content, your content will rank for mobile and desktop searches and this will naturally rise on it's own Steve.
:-) Thanks Vitaliy. Plenty of content going out and ranking / indexing too. When I check the site, posts show high 90's for desktop but on average lower then 50 for mobile in site manager. Should I be concerned? S
Usually mobile speeds will be slower than desktop but 50's could be improved upon. I'd aim for high 80's. I would check your theme and see if there's overly large images which could affect loading.
I'd also consider removing any additional plugins you added that weren't part of the WA training.
Make sure karken is on and that your site speed is set to extreme as well.
This is where I'd start.
I switched themes recently for the same reason and another, I use karken but will check plugins tomorrow. Thanks, hope you have a great evening.

Hi, Does anybody know why the Ultimate Social Media Icons plugin doesn't send a picture when I share to Facebook? Or, is there a better social plugin? Thanks for your help :-)
Yes I sent mine yesterday and all went well... great advise from Lily...
Hope that’s all it is
Tim
Funny you should mention this Steve as I was posting my content on FB yesterday for the first time and I used my Ultimate icon at the bottom of the page and it came up perfectly.
Perhaps go back into the Ultimate title in your wordpress and check your settings again.
I noticed I didn't have Twitter on my content and found I had left a box unticked in step 7.
Hope you find the problem.
Lily 😊
Hi Steve,
As far as I know there is no plugin that will allow the images to be posted on Face book.
Triblu/Trish posted a tutorial that guides you through the steps to make your images visible on Facebook.
Here is her tutorial. I downloaded it awhile back, but I am sure it still will work for you. Fix Facebook Post Images Not Showing Best wishes,

Hi everybody, I set up my Google Analytics account a few weeks ago and that's working perfectly. After a lesson with Kyle yesterday, I followed instructions to setup Google Con
Hey Steve - i noticed that the training was not really following the updated version of search console so created an easy to use verification. Google verification in four easy steps if you put the code within your theme HEAD section then you will lose it when you update your theme.
as google says to keep the code in your site as they will check periodically
have fun

Hi Simon, No, I don't think so but I'm a bit dumb with some of these things. I setup analytics via SEO in WP and then tried to add console from within my Google account. I've tried 4 times and keep getting the message I put in the question. Hope this helps & thank you. Steve C

I just ran an SEO scan via a free tool called Varvy and it provided some useful info. I remember Kyle saying don't add too many ad links in a post because it can affect ranking
I think it's referring to pay per click links. Affiliate links aren't pay to click so you're fine.

Hi guys, I upgraded tp premium at WA and my dashboard shows Jaaxy at the correct level of membership. My Jaaxy account still shows as Starter. Help to fix this gratefully appre
Hi - if you mean that it shows as Jaaxy Lite, this is the version we are given as part of your premium membership. The difference is, that you will now have unlimited searches, as opposed to only 30, as a starter.
Thanks Diane, that's what I understood. Jaaxy is still showing starter although WA is showing Lite.
Thank you for responding :-)
Hi Diane
Just wondering if you can clarify something for me here.
On the Jaaxy website there is no mention of Lite.
The only options are Starter, Pro and Enterprise.
Is Lite something that is specifically just for Premium members here and not something available to people joining Jaaxy outside of WA?
That could explain why Lite is not shown on the Jaaxy website.
Or is Starter is the new Lite, and the level that now comes with Premium Membership.
The only reason I went to the Jaaxy site was to take a screenshot of the membership levels to update my Wealthy Affiliate review on my MMO site.
Wondering if you can set me straight so that my WA review remains accurate?!
Cheers
Rich :-)
Hi - yes, Jaaxy Lite is a special version created for WA members to use. (Jaaxy was invented by Kyle!) Those joining from outside WA will have the three options that you mention.
