Site Health Check:

Amazing green GRACE !! So glad to see awesome site health with so much green!

In this story I'll share updates and strategy with the experience of my personal journey.

On your Wordpress Website: Each post publication, comment review, every update and revision counts to keep publishing frequency up to par.

Almost there for all green bubbles! This makes me feel happy-aside from green being my favorite color, after all the work it takes to get that far.

With so much green I'm also glad for golf carts and golf bags with wheels!

There is a better way than pretending to be
running a business on an island. The whole 18 holes are not a single floating green.

Another month or 2 and will have the site trust to stellar status. The site trust improves about 10% monthly. This is why I decided to check and update site health monthly. If you don't have enough tasks, this is great to have on your list.

If you're overwhelmed, you can add "check site health" on the agenda to prevent overlooking this tool. It is reassuring to see the progress and help build confidence to proceed as a successful entrepreneur.

Visitor engagement can be brought to green easily if you're almost there. Use some community credit to request comments. Sometimes this has an appearance of not having organic traffic growth. Although this could be true, I absolutely love the input of our group. They share with people who can also benefit from the information, products and services your business provides.

On the last Nurse Becca Blog, an animated Aquarium collage was created to call to action for Restoring Health 101, our Wealthy Affiliate member. It was an exercise of writing for intent. I am excited to say he wrote a first blog today!

Overcoming the Overwhelming brain overload of adventures in business writing by Ronnie is a great reassurance to know we always have support when things get complicated.

Keeping plugins in check is one of the challenges I have encountered periodically. Remember to update and check these regularly, and preferably with any additions, take a look at site health after adding plugins to see if they are too heavy with the others already on your site. I had a forum plugin that ran 30% lower for the site health rankings. Rather than keep fighting with this, I just got input from a more seasoned webmaster.

When it installed, the plugin either did not work with my theme or did not get along with the other plugins because the layout and menu changed disallowing access from my website dashboard. I asked for help and added the Nerdy Nurse as admin to take the forum plugin off without crashing my site.

The value of networking is the input you have at your fingertips to make a hole in one for your site health.

With the challenges of my experience, I want to discuss where I am in the rough. Or sandpit, whichever is worse. Even more frustrating than an incompatible forum plugin.

I was asked by personal message to send a picture of my conversions to premium membership signup (for a case study). You know humility can be for the greater good. I have to say, I have not had a single referral since I began the first time I joined in 2014. The one credit that shows 8$ on my earning is from when I accidentally froze my account and allegedly referred myself...

The new updated menu at the top of the screen had my referrer before I toggled it off. The not so friendly Gravatar who assumingly gets commission for my membership has not said so much as hello. If others members are ghosted like this, just remember there are people like me who love opportunities to assist. I don't want to assume, they may have had a tragic accident.

Or maybe they are just too busy, or shy... Whatever the case, My heart goes out thankful for the mysterious MIA Gravatar.

Wealthy Affiliate has a whole fleet of leaders who would give more than a golf clap to keep you achieving your goals.

Many leaders here want to have people to mentor and help.

Actively playing a role for success with proven methods in the training and coaching provided here is one part I enjoy about being at Wealthy Affiliate. I also get excited about less conventional methods, driving the proverbial golf cart wearing your company logo or passing along ideas for shiny new flyers!:)

In order to make it to Vegas for Wealthy affiliate conference 300 referral mark, I plan to study and implement new strategies. Nothing I've tried has worked so far. One simple start is removing the image slider slowing mobile uploads, and look for other ways to speed up cellular time to valuable impressions.

The good news: if I get absolutely no referrals, I can continue to focus effort to mentor ghosted members who need support. Sometimes it is a tiny bit more encouragement like Ronnie with the first blog he wrote.

With site trust soon to be green, it gives a glimmer of hope that putting the effort in YouTube and other video marketing I will be able to earn the trust to build referrals. It feels like making fairway after spending most of the day in the rough.

Compiling continuing education is a big part of keeping best practice and golden standards at the forefront of knowledge. This is something I've become experienced with through nursing.

Continuing scholarship facilitates safety in health care: and orchestrates ongoing effort for implementing best practice in online business.

To review the tips of this blog,

I made a quick monthly checklist for site health:

□ Mark Your Calendar for monthly site health check.

□Create a goal to include exercising improvement of site health. Example Goal: I will improve site comments by 10% monthly.

□Update and/or streamline plugins. If you have not used it since last month or using the plugin rarely, consider removing it. (Back up site before fiddling with plugins-before adding or removing them).

□Revisit comments to see if there are opportunities to re-engage prior guests. Taking an interest in past visitors can help you earn the trust of having more.

□Review posts, checking SEO and retargeting keywords in research updating content, such as revising or adding in an inspiring quote can improve publishing frequency.

□Check site comments section, if not green or going toward the green, request comments on give and take thread, or buy them with community credit.

□Once you have your site health as good as you can get it, perform a task to help out other members with tips or comments on their websites. It maybe a quick comment or describing a lighter plugin for site speed. Or make a blog post to share your experience.

□Ask for help on issues affecting your site health. You don't have to wait until it is festering or frustrating, you can pop in live chat or leave a question for the whole team here and you won't even get a bill. How cool is that?😎💟

□Add dead link/404 code checking, per Fran's comment request. This helps site trust. There are many easy trainings to this! Just type into the search if your looking for dead link checker instructions.

□Don't forget to yell "FOUR!"

We all understand how important and valuable our health is to us. How do we keep the value of our health up and in the best of conditions?
we eat the foods for proper nourishment. growth and development,
we seek medical attention when necessary,
going to your Doctor on a regular basis for a general check up medical exam
there are good habits to begin with -- in the same frame, NurseBecca made a really good list of healthy habits for website care, general check-ups and maintenance.
You never know when something might be hiding itself. The more you keep closer looks and your heath in good standing conditions with your Doctor with general check-ups and follow-ups the less likely you are to become sick or ill.

Now, how does all this tie or fit into WA and Site Health? Very simple.

Your website works just like the human body does. It needs the same type of care the human body needs. In needs to be regularly maintained with regular and general check-ups.

When it comes to Doctors - a few things to remember. A general Doctor is exactly that, they are a general Doctor. They are the local Doctors that you go to to for general needs and check-ups. They do not specify in anything specifically -- however on that same note -- They DO understand which direction to send you in for something specific. The main goal that you want to focus on is understanding that trust goes a long way when choosing the Doctor to fit you health needs, situations, and lifestyle purposes, because trust will build a lifelong lasting relationship with your health needs. With a lifelong relationship with your health needs can build healthier lifestyles.

One thing to keep in mind. Just because you or someone else may not hold the certification of a Doctor does not mean the you can not hold that category of one. The category of a doctor does not always have to fall under a certification of one, Anyone can hold the category of a Doctor within your spirit (skill set) depending on what you are doing with it and how you understand the purpose and / or the situation.

What does that mean? That means we were all born with skills and talents, we were all born with the ability to learn new skills and talents, just because you may not be certified to do a certain job, that does not mean you do not have or can not learn the new skill set it takes to achieve that purpose or goal.

The greener the grass the healthier it is, when it turns colors it needs attention and nourishment. Regular check-ups provide the proper attention before it turns colors.

Thank you for mentioning my name and my blog post title in your blog post discussion :):) I like the post title you created better than I do mine:):):) You do have an awesome skill set and mindset at informing, inspiring, and guiding others to reach their highest levels of potential success!

That was awesome, you have a great thought process. My mind was going a couple directions on this. You are very welcome of course.🙂🙂🙂 I was so excited to see your first blog here. I work on blogging every day even if I don't get it up to par to publish. If I missed a day over the past several months, usually I deleted the post after pondering too much.
If the grass is all tie died, you need that urgently checked😄 you & the grass are probably completely dehydrated

:):):)

Thank you. I was so excited to see your comment! Seeing your comment just made my day!:)

My pleasure 🙂🙂🙂

NnurseBecca - Just awsome Post! There is a lot of healthy ideas that you brought up. Soon as I get my site up and running I will use your suggested safety nets going month to month. Keep up the good work, I can use the help and wish in return I could return the favor. Maybe some day.

Thank you kindly! I sure appreciate your feedback🙂

I haven't fully finished up my site as yet, I still have work to due on menus and widgets last night when I was in my back room and low & behold on the Google marker a YES popped up, I was flabbergasted. That is why I said when I finish, I guess I had better get going. Thanks for all your support.

Awesome! Google sees you🤓! Menus gave me some trouble too. I am very thankful the nerdy nurse helped me. You will get it, it takes a lot of persistence.

Well nurse Becca. You are definitely in the green. I don't worry to much about plugins, mine is down to 0%. Why because I only use the great ones. I get my advice on these from Smartketeer. No one here knows more about plugins then Zed.
My trust us 100% but I have let my self down with blogs.. in the red there. Jim

Zed is brilliant you're in great hands there! Updates and revisions also count if you did not want to add a full blog plus request for comments. That can give you ideas of what to write about as well. If you do that, the audience knows you care about their interests. You will get out of the sandpit

Please take me hoooooooooome

😄

I like the golf metaphor.

Unfortunately, I doubt if my site will ever be green given the plug-in numbers. But at least the page speed numbers are green.

Thank you, Awesome!!! I wanted to ask but didn't want too sound nosy:) Yours looks good too! My hidden call to action was wanting everone to take a selfie of your bubbles!! Okay I am a goofball but Plugins are so fun to try out, we have to make sure we use ones that are cohesive.
If you have one red bubble, I don't think it will change the price of tea in China. But, you can get input anytime. I would say: when we move to the ability to do self hosting on our own -that is what's in development now.
Then the bridge to 5th generation technology... Boom we can plug whatever we want in and have a plugin party without slowing sites down mobile or on airplanes. Seriously, I think sooner than we thought all this is possible.
I hope you get the hole in1☺💟💝

four FOUR FOUR!!!

☺💝💟

Thank you very much for your info!
