  9. Why is my WooCommerce shop slow?

  10. Taking over a WordPress site from a previous agency

    When a relationship with an agency ends, the website has to move with you. This is the order I use when taking over a WordPress site: access, a backup, an inventory of what is actually installed, and what has to happen before anything is updated.

  11. What a technical SEO check actually finds

    Not keywords. Mostly pages Google cannot see, pages it sees twice, and pages that are too slow on a phone to matter. The findings that come up again and again on small Danish business sites.

  12. Taking over a Laravel app after the developer left

    The app works, the person who built it is gone, and nobody knows what happens if you touch it. What I look at in the first week, in the order that stops things getting worse.
