  • How To Speed Up WordPress

    It’s all well and good talking about speeding up WordPress, but what constitutes a fast site? Is a 10 second load time ok? What about 5 seconds? That’s pretty quick, right? 3 seconds? Now we’re talking, surely?

    Well, some clever boffins did some research and established that if your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, 57% of visitors will leave before it’s done loading (source).

    So the answer is a MAXIMUM of 3 seconds, but make it as quick as possible. For example, this site is running WordPress and according to GTMetrix it loads in 0.6 seconds. I’m happy with that.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
