Hey alluser, Few weeks ago, I promised you a behind the scenes look of WPBeginner site design process. A lot of readers wanted me to do this, and I want to apologize that it took me a few extra days to get it over to you. But I wanted to make sure that I add as much details as possible, so you can replicate a lot of my learnings. With that said, here's a detailed behind the scenes case study of WPBeginner's new site design. What you'll learn: - How I improved my website speed to get a 95 out of 100 performance score, and 99 out of 100 SEO score in Google Core Web Vitals. - Why content discoverability on site is going to be the future of SEO, what changes I have made to adapt, and how you can copy those for your site. - How I added the Mega Menu on WPBeginner, and why I recommend others to do the same. - Why I switched away from two very popular WordPress plugins, and what I replaced them with to get a competitive advantage. - My "probably" controversial decision on disabling Gravatar, and why I think more bloggers will likely follow through on this in the future. - ... and more. See the full case study: WPBeginner v6 - Behind the Scenes of Our New Site Design If you have any specific questions, please leave a comment on the blog posts or reply back to this email and let me know. Also it would mean the world to me if you can share how you like the new site design in the comments and please help me spread the word. Have a great rest of your week :) Cheers, Syed Balkhi Founder of WPBeginner | | | |
