Comfort with Page Builders

I’ve mainly used Gutenberg to build clean, responsive WordPress layouts, but I’m also familiar with Elementor and Visual Composer. I haven’t used WP Bakery directly, but I’ve worked with similar drag-and-drop tools and understand their structure. I’m a fast learner and always upskilling—comfortable adapting to new builders and solving layout issues as needed.

Enhancing Mobile Experience on WordPress Sites

Importance of Responsive Design

Effective Testing Tools

Tools like Google Mobile-Friendly Test and BrowserStack help identify and fix mobile usability issues effectively.

Image Optimization Techniques

Optimizing images reduces loading times, improving performance and ensuring a smooth experience for mobile users.

Utilizing Caching Plugins

Troubleshooting Website Downtime Effectively

Confirming Downtime

First, verify the outage by testing the website through various tools for accuracy and confirmation.

Checking Krystal Hosting

Review Krystal’s status page to identify any ongoing outages that might be affecting your site or services.

Attempting Basic Fixes

If access is permitted, try restarting services and double-checking DNS and server settings to troubleshoot the issue.

Key Components of Technical SEO for Websites

Proper use of meta tags enhances visibility and helps search engines understand content.

Structured Data

Implementing structured data improves search engine understanding and enhances rich results.

Mobile Friendliness

Ensuring mobile friendliness is vital as more users access sites on mobile devices.

URL Structure

A clear URL structure is essential for both SEO and user navigation.

Knowledge of Google Console

I’ve used Google Search Console to submit sitemaps, monitor indexing issues, and check mobile usability. I also review performance reports to see which keywords are driving traffic and where improvements can be made.
