[E4C41] Accelerate Your Business Growth by Optimizing Your Site Speed – WP Curve – Dan Norris

You may remember that back in March, Dan Norris was a guest on Entrepreneurs for a Change, sharing with us his expertise on startup validation, well I’m so happy to welcome him back, and to chat to him about one of the most important things you can do for your online business – increasing your site speed.

Dan is co-founder of WP Curve, one of the world’s fastest growing WordPress support companies, which I use myself and LOVE. For about $60 / month they will make unlimited small changes to your WordPress site – template tweaks, plugin fixes, and more. Gone are the days of having to find someone on Odesk every time you want to make a minor change.

Having a fast-loading website can really improve your search engine visibility, your overall brand perception, and ultimately boost your business. Dan reveals exactly why you should care about site speed and shares tips on making your site load faster. In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The 2 tests you can use to see how fast your site loads, and how they can help you improve your site speed.

• How your web host may be slowing down your site, and the 1 simple thing you can do to change it.
