According to November 2025 data from HTTP Archive the top WordPress hosting providers are only delivering GOOD Core Web Vitals to just over half of their customer base. Even hosts charging thousands of dollars per month aren't delivering Good CWV to all their clients. Progress basically leveled off over the last twelve months too, meaning there's a huge contingent of customers who aren't going to reach Good Core Web Vitals without some kind of intervention or a better solution. We've been obsessed with CWV for years at SiteCare and have just rolled out the first Done-For-Your WordPress Hosting that Guarantees GOOD Core Web Vitals. Seriously, it's really really good. It's the perfect blend of speciality services and platform. And we've figured out how to deliver it at a fraction of the cost of some of these big providers. If your org is battling Core Web Vitals, and want to create a better experience for your website's visitors, along with better visibility in search engines and LLMs, you'll want to check out what we've been working on.

3 seconds. ⏱️ That’s all you get. If your WordPress site is taking longer than that to load, you are actively losing customers and Google rankings. We’re kicking off a 5-part series on speeding up your site, and Tip #1 is the lowest-hanging fruit: Your Images. 🖼️ Stop exporting manually from Canva or Photoshop and hoping for the best. It’s clunky and hard to do in bulk. The Fix: Install Imagify. It compresses your images on the server without losing quality (it’s lossless, so they still look crisp). It takes 15 minutes to set up, runs a bulk optimization, and you’re done. ✅ Better performance. ✅ Better SEO. ✅ Happy visitors.

📱 Is Your WordPress Site Truly Mobile-Friendly? More and more users are accessing the web from their mobile devices, yet many WordPress sites fall short in mobile usability—especially when it comes to accessibility. 🔎 Why Mobile Usability Matters ➡️ Small touch targets and poor contrast create barriers for users with disabilities. ➡️ Unresponsive design can make content unreadable or difficult to navigate. ➡️ Google factors mobile experience into search rankings. ✅ Test your site on real devices, use accessibility checkers, and optimize for all users.

🎉 Team Spotlight: Claire, Account Manager Extraordinaire 🎉 Every great project needs a steady hand—and for one recent website rebuild, that was Claire. During a client call, they described her management of the entire process as “masterful.” And we couldn’t agree more. From start to finish, Claire kept communication clear and expectations aligned—never letting the momentum slip, even on a lengthy project. She brought calm, clarity, and confidence to every phase of the rebuild, making a complex process feel seamless (and somehow made it all look effortless). #Teamwork #ClientSuccess #WebsiteRebuild #SiteCare

Over the years, we’ve had our hands in countless themes. We’ve seen some real winners—and some not-so-great ones. 😬 But there’s one type of theme we’ve come to dread: “Kitchen sink” themes. 🧼🚰 In theory, they sound great because they come with a suite of plugins bundled for a low price, but ⚠️ buyers, beware ⚠️ We’ve learned these themes often create more problems than they solve. Their all-in-one approach can lead to: 🔸 Bloated websites 🔸 Security issues 🔸 Complex maintenance headaches Take a recent example: a client’s theme bundled WP Bakery, but the theme developer modified the page builder and didn’t release updates regularly, even the updates with important security patches. 🔒⏳ While all-in-one themes may seem like a time and money saver, they often come with long-term trade-offs. A lean, well-maintained setup with only the essential plugins can be far more reliable and have a longer shelf life than a kitchen sink theme. If you’re ready to ditch the bloated themes and page builders, consider a SiteCare Rebuild—retire the bloat and put in its place a lightweight block theme.

We’re always learning—and last quarter, accessibility was top of mind. At SiteCare, we believe creating better websites starts with building a more inclusive web. That’s why our team recently completed a company-wide course on web accessibility—diving deep into best practices, common pitfalls, and how to build and maintain websites that work for everyone. It’s part of our ongoing mission to deliver websites that aren’t just fast and beautiful—but also accessible, usable, and equitable. Accessibility isn’t a checkbox. It’s a responsibility. #DigitalAccessibility #WordPress #WebDesign #InclusiveDesign #AccessibilityMatters #SiteCare

🛠️ Is your website running an outdated PHP version? It could be slowing you down—or worse, leaving you vulnerable. PHP is the backbone of WordPress, and keeping it updated is crucial for: ✅ Speed – Newer versions improve performance, making your site faster. ✅ Security – Older versions stop receiving security updates, exposing your site to threats. ✅ Compatibility – Many plugins and themes require newer PHP versions to function properly. 💬 Running an unsupported version of PHP?
