Hi The company I work for now use a Wordpress site, which I'm getting to grips with. There seems to be an error in the code, which is slowing the site down. I've looked in the theme editor but can't seem to find it. Can anyone help? The website is: https://www.contractflooringjournal.co.uk/ When I load the page it's looking for these in the uploads folder, and I don't know how to remove them: https://www.cfjworkshops.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/xxx_bg_xxx.png https://www.contractflooringjournal.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/17.jpg Thank you

Hi, I have a reasonably good understanding of SEO. However I've not kept up with all the changes over the past few years and any changes I make to the website these days tend to have little to no effect on traffic. Can anyone recommend a course that has made a really big impact on your own sites? The company I work for uses Wordpress, so it would be useful to go on a course that includes SEO in Wordpress. Thank you

Sure, let's take average session duration. This would imply that this is the average amount of time that someone spends on a website. However Google does not count the length of time someone spends on the last page of a website, which is highly likely to be the time they spend the most time on. Also if somes site has a very high bounce rate, then the time spent will be counted as 0 even if they spend a long time reading an article. In short average session duration is completely misleading. Google have been very misleading with the term bounce rate. For years they pushed the idea that this was the number of people who view a single page. When you talk to the average person that is what they still think it is. Up until recently you could still find articles on Google support still pushing this idea. They have removed all wording suggesting this now and clarified that bounce rate is based on sessions. But for anyone who was orginally mislead this could be huge. One other one I can think of off the top of my head is location. Google uses ip address to calculate the location of each user, and although most of what they have isn't bad, they mix mobile data in with their results. Mobile data is virtually impossoble to calculate so what they end up using is the location of the mobile networking company. For someone looking at their results, if they see that there is a large amount of people viewing their site from one location, this could mislead them into targeting that area. Really Google should exlude that data, because it's useless and could guide people into making bad marketing decisions.

Thanks for your help. I didn't get a more descriptive error message, so I checked my error logs. Any of the below make sense to you? What's strange is that I could get any other plugin to work, just not wooCommerce.

Hi, The company I work for have a web development company. They are telling them that there is a cost of £340 to migrate and develop an SSL certificate into the website (plus the cost of the certificate itself). The site is built using Umbraco. I might be wrong, but I didn't think there was any coding needed in order to attach an SSL certificate. I thought that you just buy it, activate it and install it, which in my experience doesn't take too long. Are there sites that need special development work needed to integrate the certificate?

Absolutely and unfortunately even with those figures they are quite often misunderstood and misleading. Bounce rate, session duration and location are 3 big metrics that can lead people that don't fully understand Analytics in the wrong direction.

I'm referring to what metric you look at within your analytics application. Do you setup a custom report or do you use something pre-defined to measure single page visitors? For example, if I look at Google Analytics I can't see obvious that would provide me with that information.

What Analytics data would you use to see how many single page visitors you get to your website?

Sounds like you have worked for big companies with that capability. Personally I'm surprised that so many companies use GA, as their data can not only be misunderstood but also very misleading.

That is true!

I've heard of Clicky before. What it is that you feel it has the edge over GA?

Hi, I was wondering how important your web analytics is to you? What platforms do you use and why? I'm guessing the top answer will be Google Analytics, and if so why? Apart from that it's free and the most well-known tool, Is there any specific reasons? Any tools and data that you really like? If you use something else, why do you prefer that to Google Analytics?

I'm starting to think they maybe the best solution davep. Thank you both

Hi, I have a number of elements that need to load at the same time. One is this wheel: https://code.sololearn.com/WX6x1c56OFb5/#html and the rest are animated gifs. They all need to work together, but at the moment they are out of sync, because they load at different times. Is there a way I can make them load all at the same time? Thank you
