M3Server Support

Have you been to:

https://developers.google.com/pagespeed/

If you have, you might notice that some of your changes take, and some don’t.  I almost went insane until I realized that this page was caching some results, regardless of refreshing or reloading the page.

Solution?  Download firebug plugin for Firefox, and then visit this page to download page speed plugin.

http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/download.html

After installing, you must restart Firefox to enable the plugin.  Once activated, you will notice a Firbug icon on the tool bar, mine happens to be to the right of the home button to the right of my search  bar.

Then, when you make changes to your site, RELOAD your page in your browser and then REFRESH ANALYSIS for the updated results.

Happy optimizing

Need to redirect source traffic to another domain?  Well, if you can’t modify the link on the source traffic, you can control it with the power of htaccess.

WARNING: Make a backup of your original .htaccess file as always.  Backups are GREAT practice to follow.

If something goes wrong, please remove the lines from your .htaccess or restore your known working backup file.

Place the following at the top of your .htaccess file:

The domain names below are just examples, please use the real domains.  The “other-something” domain is the domain you want the traffic routed to.

#### START COPY BELOW THIS LINE #####

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www|ads)\.source-traffic\.net
RewriteRule .* http://www.other-something.com [R=301,L]

### END COPY ABOVE THIS LINE ###

Enjoy the traffic router!

Keep your WordPress sites secure and safe by following this simple advice:

1) Only use plugins that you need.  Each plugin is an added security risk.

2) Avoid using the user name, admin, on your administrator accounts.  Use a random name instead with at least one number in it.

3) Use strong passwords!!!  CatDog isn’t a strong password folks.

4) Keep your WordPress updated and your plugins as well.

Above all, MAKE BACKUPS!!!!

Safe surfing!
