Hi everyone. Just had a series of emails with Site Support. Seems Kraken API not working. They said to use alternative. Anyone any suggestion on which is a good alternative to
Kraken not working? That's news to me. WA installs that one automatically, don't they? I would hope WA would tell us if Kraken not working???
Many WA members, including me has reported it.
And, as mentioned in my question, I had a series of emails with Site Support where I reported it. They told me Kraken has issues. And advised me to remove it.
Tim
P.S. You can check with Site Support.
Hi Timotheus
I use Optimole, It optimises images on the fly in order to deliver the "best" possible rendition based on what works best for the browser being used. For most browsers it will deliver WebP or Avif images. It also places your images in over 200 Content Delivery Network (CDN) servers around the World which means that the delivery is from the closest possible point to the browser being used. Also I pre-prepare images, cutting down their dimensions and filesize before adding them to the media library which means there is far less clutter in the WordPress database than with most images.
If you want to know more, send me a PM if you wish.

Wow! Sounds very good, Richard. Thanks for the recommendation. I will give it a try.
Hope you had a lovely Christmas? :)
Tim
Currently I am having issues of images not showing inside the media folder under grid. It is showing in list view. Maybe I will try removing Kraken an test out. Site support was not able to help out? They say it could be due to the latest WP update.
You need to deactivate Kraken as that is causing issues for you.
If you read my comment to Tim I suggested the plugin "converter for media". Plus if you go to chat now there are some other recommendations other members have mentioned.
Andre
Thank you Andre,
But i think i have much more problems other than the image not showing up. Whenever I create a new post under the AIOSEO settings, the meta title and the description keeps disapearing.
I have removed the Kraken.io but the problem of image not showing up under Media library is still there. Not sure what to try next?
My guess is that Site Support will ask you to deactivate all your plugins.
Then activate each plugin one at a time to see which one is causing the issues for you site.
Tim
I have no idea at all for now. There are so many, including Jetpack, which seems to work better as a paid version.
Jetpack is not a good plugin and WA doesn't recommend it the plugin has many issues so not a plugin to use.
If I remember correctly, Kyle does not recommend using Jetpack.
1. Many issues
2. Bloated plugin - will cause your site to slow down
I think there is a training by Kyle about this. You can do a search on WA for Jetpack.
Tim
Hi Tim just responded in chat. Kraken has been causing issues for many lately. I use the plugin converter for media which is great it also takes jpg to webp which is even better and that is the free version.
Oh, one more question Andre.
Does the plugin auto convert all images to webp?
Or can I control when to convert to webp?
Reason I am asking:
Some social media platforms like LinkedIn and X do not display webp images. So when I share my blog posts, the featured images (in webp) are not shown.
Tim
Reason I am asking is because I have installed the plugin. Took a look around. I don't see any setting that can control when and which images to auto convert.
So, thought maybe you will know?
Tim
You can convert all in one hit for the first time.
There is an option under general setting to automatically optimise new images but I not sure if you can pick and choose which ones not to but they do have a help button to ask them if you wish.
Thanks very much, Andre! :)
You're always a great help.
I'll explore the plugin then. And ask the help support. I am sure they can do it. :)
Tim
In your setting you can select the type you want to convert both in the general setting and advanced.
Oh, that will be ideal for me.
I will control it such that png files are not converted while others are ok.
Thanks again, Andre :)
No probs Tim I guess you can at the bottom of general settings not activate the automatic conversions of new images and test it out that way.

Hi everyone. I noticed SEO Framework highlights the blog post title as orange or red color (on the Posts list in the WP back office) when I included the site title in the blog
Hi Tim,
According to Jay's lesson, site title is a beginners SEO tactic. Chararacters shouldn't be more than 60 for good results.
Think about it, all great books should have a title. Each blog should have one too.
Happy Christmas, my friend.
Maxine:)
That is the issue, Maxine - only 60 characters for blog post title. So, adding the site title to the blog post title, while good for branding, is not good for length.
I hope you had a happy Christmas?
Tim
It's either stay under 60 characters or go over 60 and lose points for SEO optimization. There's no way around it.
Unfortunately, around Christmas, the family was planning a funeral service for our beloved, Angel Jesus Casanova which was held on December 27, 2024.
Happy 2025, Tim!
Maxine :)
Yeah, it's a conundrum.
Sorry to hear that. My deepest condolences.
May 2025 be a better year for your family and you.
Tim
Hi Timotheus,
Compliments of the season.
I think Jay actually answered your question in the expert class with Jay, on the 13th, November.
The link is below: SEO Tactics to Boost Your Rankings: Optimizing Your Website I hope it helps.
And BrendaMZ: Why Your Meta Description Matters for SEO: How to Write One That Gets Results I wish you a blessed day.
Thanks, Makinde. :)
I will check those lessons out.
I wish you good health and success!
Tim
You are welcome, Timotheus.
I wish you and the family a blessed 2025.
Happy New Year!
Thank you.

According to Gemini (chatbot by Google), it does affect SEO. However, make sure the title is neither too long, nor too short.
Let's know after trying these fixes.
Cheers!
Thanks, John. Glad to hear that Gemini said that.
But that becomes an issue. There can only be 60 characters for blog post title. So, adding the site title to the blog post title, while good for branding, is not good for length.
Do you include the site title to your blog post title? Or no?
Tim
Yes, I do.
The SEO plugin (pre-installed) does it for me, easily and it's recommended. But as I said before, the title has to be in range. Yes, 60 characters is good range.

Hi everyone,
As I restart my affiliate marketing business at WA, following my recovery from cancer, I've realized that my Welcome Messages need updating.

Hi Tim,
First of all, I'm glad to hear that you're recovering and restarting your affiliate marketing journey. Regarding your question, both options have their merits, and it ultimately depends on your specific goals and audience.
Analyzing Kyle’s message drip campaign is a good starting point. He’s clearly done a lot of work to create a comprehensive and effective strategy, and understanding the structure and messaging he uses could provide valuable insights for your own campaign. If you choose this route, consider adding your personal touch to it, perhaps tailoring the messages to your unique voice or adjusting the content based on your niche and target audience.
Alternatively, crafting your own campaign could be a great opportunity to differentiate yourself and establish a unique connection with your audience. While there’s a risk of overlap, being authentic and true to your own style can make your messages stand out.
As for my approach, I focused on building a relationship with my audience through consistent and value-driven content, while always staying authentic. I recommend starting with a clear plan, whether by building on Kyle's strategy or creating your own, ensuring that the messages are personalized and offer real value to your readers.
Ultimately, it's all about what resonates with your audience and how you can best serve their needs. I’m sure whichever approach you take will be successful with the right mindset!
Best of luck with your campaign, Tim!
Eric
Thank you, Eric :)
Your response has been very helpful to me. It's clear that you speak from experience, which I find invaluable.
Taking your points into consideration, I've decided to craft messages that enhance and support Kyle's campaign. As you recommended, I've personalized my messages by sharing my experiences here at WA.
I wish you success and good health :)
