@vyas there are lots of cool Lifetime Deals for Elementor templates/extensions but there's usually the yearly sub you or your clients would have to be willing to pay year after year for Pro to really get the worth out of them. Prefer Divi in the way that its' license is setup & forget.
I dont follow this Divi Express.... how is it different from the Divi Theme of BF?
Well, this is basicly another collection of divi themes and other section..
Oh. I see. Thank you.
Like it was already said Any more questions, lemme know.
I used it yesterday to downgrade to WP 5.5.3, Works quite well..
But then replaced it with ClassicPress. it botched the Dashboard though front end was accessible :-)

Nice one. I dont use classic editor anymore but it had some nice options
I missed DiviExpress lifetime deals, does somebody willing to share the lifetime deals with me, I can pay for the half share if you would like. Well, I think I will use it occasionally, only when I need design new WP site.

@Ympker I bought the DiviExpress, without actually having tested it yet.
(Busy days.)
What's your workflow for integrating/fetching templates/modules and using in Divi?
You build and test on their site, make notes, then download and import into Divi Library on the site you're working on?

Heya mate You just outright bought it? Haha :P
Only purchased it the other day so haven't tested it (only downloaded all sections.zip and headers+footers) on my install yet.
Their Layouts I probably won't use much. I think most (if not all) are one-page layouts anyway.
What I see me doing with DiviExpress is, and this is basically what you said, use their "Test Drive" to prototype my page with their cool sections builder ( https://test.divi.express/build/index.html ), then note those sections down and replicate on my WP install
AIO Seo plugin (is it better than other seo plugin? Not so bloated compared to Yoast)
Updraftplus backup (is it enough?)
Amp plugin (do I really need AMP Plugin?)
Right now my site gets B (78) for performance rating and A (92) for Structure.
Using a paid cache plugin atm.
Any idea how to increase performance rating?
I'm hosted by HM Prem.
UpdraftPlus has served me well. With HM JetBackups to remote and their daily backips was all I needed but I moved one of my sites to Mike and decided to use UpdraftPlus for it. Works like a charm for WP installs.
The above linked article on AdSense shows speed test comparison with, and without AdSense. It does slow things down. Even Google's Lighthouse "complains" about their own AdSense poor optimization. Having said that - I never got any feedback saying my websites with AdSense load slowly. And haven't noticed myself that pages load slowly, even when using a poor quality mobile network connection.
For SEO, my choice is The SEO Framework. Would say it's the least bad, or best, depends on how one looks on that.
For backups: I don't trust a plugin for backup. I wrote a few words on automated website backup tools that run on the server level. With links to the tools and/or articles explaining each in more details. My choice for now is JetBackup, since the current provider offers that (included in the price of hosting).
Which cache plugin are you using? LiteSpeed is very good - provided your hosting server "has" Litespeed. I wrote about WordPress website caching - need to add a chapter on WP Rocket. Being as good, if not just slightly better than Litespeed, but costing a lot more (i.e. not 100% free).

If you are on a LiteSpeed server, think there's not much speed to be gained from WP Rocket - so in that case it's not worth it (IMO). But if not - it's probably the best (and very beginner friendly) caching solution.
Here is how to migrate from practically any SEO plugin, to practically any SEO plugin: Migrating from one SEO plugin to another - using SEO Data Transporter (free plugin, that can be deinstalled and deleted after everything's been sorted out).
For changing anything on your site - the way to be "safe":
Create a backup (always have your website backups anyway - things will go bust just one hour before your next scheduled backup).
Test your backups - i.e. make sure that you can restore your site from a backup. Do it at least once, to confirm it really does work. Otherwise, you risk joining the "oh, all my work is gone" club.
Create a staging website copy.
Make any changes on the staging copy. Confirm that everything is OK.
Now you can push the changes on the "main" site. This goes for any updates as well - always test them on a staging website copy. Otherwise, you risk joining the "oh, this update crashed my site" club.

It should Just download your updraftplus backup from the webspace. Worst case reinstall wp and restore Updraft Backup
Or use Softaculous staging feature instead to try things.

The problem with Updraftplus is you have to deploy core files first or install fresh wordpress.

The latest version of Wp Rocket is not only about caching.
It manages :
1. Prefetch DNS Requests, prefetch Links
2. Preload fonts (or host external font locally)
3. Host Google Analytics Locally (Improve browser caching for Google Analytics)
4. Manage embedded media
5. Add missing width and height attributes to images automagically
6. WebP compatibility
7. Javascript (delay Javascript execution. Load Javascript deferred)
8. Manages varnish cache and sucuri cache (if any)

My thoughts on The SEO Framework Pro (i.e. the paid version) plugin - for SEO, what else?
Some months after having written on the free version of TSF.
Detailed info about providers whose services I've used:

@bikegremlin
Off topic.
Do you use Autoads or setup the ads manually?
What is the name of the themes for io bikegremlin?

you post GTMetrix and/or Google Pagespeed insights resutls? PM is okay if you do not want to share site (though wny not?)

Hi,
It is a small blog site with around 100 posts only. Using Sahifa Theme.
How about a screenshot of GTMetrix?
Anyway, any thoughts on other questions?
I wonder if using Google Adsense Autoads give 'B' performance.

Hi,
Additional question.
What is the best way to change theme?
I don't want to break the site.
Any guide?

Screenshot should be okay. For the waterfall.
Other questions can probably be answered better after seeing it.

I wrote about my Google AdSense setup (experiment). TL/DR: no Autoads - but did test that for a while.
The theme is GeneratePress. Free version.
