WordPress has undeniably transformed millions of pages into a digital masterpiece. However, it might come to you as a question as to whether you do the management by yourself or enlist a hosting provider to do the hard work for you.
If you think you don’t have the time and required expertise to do it yourself and you’re looking for premier WordPress hosting Canada, your search ends with 4GoodHosting. As the most preferred Canada hosting provider, we offer scalable traditional and managed hosting with competitive pricing.
In this article, we will talk about why performance and uptime matter in the digital landscape. Moreover, we will explore the transformative impact of our Managed WordPress on individuals and businesses.
Why Are Performance and Uptime Important?
Besides high-quality and reliable content, performance and uptime are your website’s lifeline. Whether you’re an individual or a business using WordPress as your website’s platform, your visitors will consider how fast your pages load and how frequently your site is available. If your website is slow to load, your website visitors will get frustrated and exit your page right away—this will lead to zero to low conversion rates. At the same time, if your website is always unavailable, visitors will think that your site is unreliable or not maintained properly, which will lead to negative user experiences.
On the other hand, performance and uptime matter to search engines like Google. Search engines love fast-loading sites and they rank these pages higher than those of slow-loading websites. This contributes to increased online visibility and wide audience reach or more organic traffic
How Does Managed WordPress Hosting at 4GoodHosting Impact Performance and Uptime?
Time is of the essence, specifically when we’re talking about the digital arena. Your website is your potential customer’s portal to your brand. So, it’s essential to ensure that your site’s performance is non-negotiable. At 4GoodHosting, we offer a top-tier solution to enhance your online presence through the unsung hero known as Managed WordPress.
Let’s dive into how this managed hosting significantly affects your website’s performance and uptime.
Multi-level Caching
Caching plays a crucial in speeding up your website, and we take this mechanism seriously by providing multi-level caching on all our hosting plans. It’s a cornerstone of the fast-loading times of our managed sites. We have dynamic caching technology designed to work specifically for WordPress.
First is page caching, which provides copies of frequently accessed pages to eliminate the waiting time of your users. Second is browser caching, where resources are stored on the user’s devices to ensure quick return access. Last is object caching—an efficient way of preparing and storing data in our caching system—which reduces the strain on servers leading to a faster website.
Cloudflare CDN
Cloudflare CDN is a smart feature that many WordPress users may experience with us. We teamed up with Cloudflare to automatically distribute your website to different servers around the world. How does this happen? With servers strategically positioned worldwide, your content travels a lightning-fast speed to users regardless of their geographical location.
As its name suggests, this content delivery network retrieves your website’s data from a server that’s closest to your user’s location. As a result, your visitors can access your content immediately. This strategy speeds up the loading time of your pages and reduces the burden on the main server, which makes your website efficient.
Fast Fiber Network
Our Fast Fiber Network is the superhero behind every site, including the Managed WordPress, we host at 4GoodHosting. We take pride in this network for two main reasons: speed and reliability.
A fiber network ensures that data moves seamlessly and reaches its destination in the blink of an eye. Another thing it helps with is it minimizes latency and makes your visitors experience a smooth and speedy website.
The next reason why we use this network is because of its consistency. We don’t want just speed for your website. Instead, we aim for a site that offers reliable performance and reduced downtime. With fast data access, it’s not likely that your data will get stuck. As a result, your data is open for delivery 24/7 using a steady and swift data flow.
Latest PHP and Database Versions
We use only the best and most updated PHP and database versions to boost your WordPress site’s efficiency. PHP fuels your website—think of it as your brain that sends signals to different parts of your body and makes sure that everything works appropriately. That’s why it’s crucial to keep this updated and maintained at all times.
As we keep up with the latest PHP and database, your website processes information faster. And when your PHP is working properly, it means your website can handle multiple tasks simultaneously without slowing down.
At the same time, by updating your database and PHP, we ensure that your website’s security is fortified. It’s just like installing new updates for your smartphone that improves your device’s security and adds extra layers of security and optimization.
Automatic Updates
In line with using only the most updated PHP and database, we also ensure that your hosting environment is always up-to-date. We enforce automatic updates to optimize your website’s performance at any time of the day.
You don’t have to worry about the technicalities of updating your WordPress because we’ve got you covered. Even when it comes to security updates, we make sure that your site receives these configurations (whenever there are any). We give you peace of mind by keeping your website in full control, in terms of security and efficiency.
Furthermore, we do automatic updates because we know the hassle of manual updates. Leave the updating to us, so you can focus on making high-quality and compelling content while we handle the behind-the-scenes management.
SSL Certificates
We always take website security to heart. That’s why we offer the ease of adding SSL certificates to all our hosted websites. This extra layer of security protects all the data on your website, as well as the sensitive information of your customers. SSL certificates ensure encrypted connections between your website and your users—think of this as a secret language that keeps your data safe from any potential threats.
All of our managed sites load over HTTPS (you will see https:// in your web address), which means your data is received and sent in a locked-up network. SSL-secured websites build trust with your target market as it puts your visitors’ minds at ease by knowing that their personal information is private and protected.
In addition to SSL certificates, we provide firewall protection and Malware detection and removal for all of our WordPress plans. A firewall is a protective barrier, more like the guard of your website, which oversees and blocks unauthorized access. It works both inbound and outbound, meaning no harmful data can sneak in and no sensitive information can sneak out of your website without your permission.
Working hand in hand with a firewall, malware detects any signs of suspicious activity. It’s like the patrol officers on your website that alert you when they spot something suspicious. To maximize your web’s safety and security, it comes with an expert and immediate removal process, which ensures that all traces of harmful or sneaky software are eliminated from your website.
Daily Backups
Data is everything when managing your website. Without the information and content, your page will be empty and untrustworthy. So, we provide automatic daily backups that let you recover your content from any error. This feature is essential in data loss prevention in case of any unforeseen incidents.
Besides peace of mind, daily backups contribute to lessening your website’s downtime. In case you lose your content accidentally, you don’t need to worry because it already created a copy of your data, from its settings and configurations to the text and images. Since it allows quick data recovery, your visitors might not notice that you’re fixing an issue on your website (you can restore your progress with minimal disruption to your website’s performance).
Content Management System Optimization
When you choose us as your host, your WordPress experience will be as effortless as it can be. You don’t have to worry about the technical details because we will take care of it for you.
