I'm a NameHero team member, and an expert on WordPress and web hosting. I've been in this industry since 2008. I've also developed apps on Android and have written extensive tutorials on managing Linux servers. You can contact me on my website WP-Tweaks.com!
Though the latter is more common, images in the WebP format are smaller than those in the JPEG format. However, most image distribution sites offer downloads in either PNG or JPEG. Programs like MS Paint (still extremely common – I use it myself!) don’t offer the option to save images in WebP. But since WebP […]
WordPress 6.1 is set to be released in a few days, and I think some of the enhancements will be low-key game-changing. Maybe not right away, but the direction in which Gutenberg is moving makes me think that some plugins will soon become less important and can be replaced with native Gutenberg functionality. Dimensions with […]
A short while back, Cloudflare announced a new tool – Turnstile. It’s an alternative to the ubiquitous CAPTCHA forms that are used on 98% of websites. This new tool achieves the same goal of protecting you from spam, but without the intrusive puzzle-solving and sending your data to Google. Here’s how to integrate Cloudflare’s turnstile […]

Response headers can be notoriously difficult to change. Particularly if you’re using a CMS like WordPress, it’s often a mystery where certain response headers are coming from. Cache-control is a great example of where many WordPress developers have torn their hair out in frustration, trying to figure out which plugin or .htaccess rule is setting […]
One of the most popular plugins on the WordPress store is WPCode, and for good reason. It’s a great way for those new to WordPress to easily add code snippets to their installation. You can individually enable and disable specific pieces of code and even insert JavaScript into specific portions of your site conditionally. The […]
I’ve just finished writing an article on my I think a paid Screaming Frog subscription isn’t worth it, and now I’m saying that Ahrefs isn’t worth it either for most website owners! Am I just being a contrarian? Is it clickbait? If so, my opinion is, at the very least, genuine. I’m a website owner, […]
Here at NameHero, we recommend using a custom plugin to paste your code snippets because it’s fully under your control and causes less bloat than plugins in the WordPress repository. However, it’s not within everyone’s comfort zone to create a custom plugin, particularly considering that if you configure it wrong, it can break your site. […]
