We had the privilege of attending a fantastic WordCamp last weekend in Kent Ohio. The event started on Saturday so we arrived Friday evening to get our interactive VR booth setup at the venue. We were immediately impressed by the convenience of having the event venue at the same location as the recommended hotel. This is always preferred.

As the Saturday sessions got into full swing, we found that there are many enthusiastic WordPress users in the area. Many of the conferences that we attend consist mostly of developers, but in this case it seemed there were quite a few new WordPress users who are actively trying to grow their knowledge. This tends to be a is a sign of a thriving WordPress community in Kent, Ohio.

This last weekend CloudAccess.net’s very own team members Danielle and Eyvonne attended WordCamp Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Event was hosted at the unique and picturesque Dalhousie University campus, which gave a great insight to the Victorian era. Our trip started off with a delicious stop at The Red Stag Tavern, where we got to meet the Lead Event organizers and speakers. 

We are excited to announce that a fully integrated CDN (Content Distribution Network) has been added into the platform and it is now available for all paid plans. Our team has been working relentlessly on this new feature and we encourage all clients to utilize the CDN.

This past Saturday (April 22nd) was Earth Day and we reached out on social channels to see what people in their communities did to give back to the environment during this time. We were very excited to see people take an interest in our planet.

Every website relies on images to present visual information and provide an ideal user experience. But presenting large attractive images can compromise your website performance. Luckily there's a solution - image optimization.

March is American Red cross month and here in the US, it’s a month dedicated to giving time and assistance to the American Red Cross organization. The most common activity we see is donating blood to the Red Cross.

So what does giving blood have to do with a grilled cheese sandwich you might ask? Not much. We just thought offering you a delicious grilled cheese sandwich would be a nice way to encourage our clients and team to donating blood.

Why speed matters?

It’s just not the irrelevant numbers, but studies show that it can actually affect your business. Nowadays, we want everything fast and every second counts as potential clients simply don’t want to waste their valuable time.

To prove my point, studies from big corporations like Walmart show that a one-second improvement in a website's load time causes an increased conversion rate of 2%. This shows that it’s worth considering improving your site's speed so I welcome you to read this blog post.
