USE A CACHING PLUGIN TO INCREASE SITE SPEED

WP Super Cache is a static caching plugin for Wordpress.  It works by serving cached HTML versions of your sites pages (efficient), rather than dynamically rendering them each time a page is requested (inefficient).  WP Super Cache can be configured to refresh cached pages at set intervals (e.g. every 7 days), whenever a post/page is updated or a combination of both.  The cache can also be refreshed manually, all from the comfort of the WordPress administration panel.  Other top features of WP Super Cache include Cache Pre-loading, CDN Support and Lock Down Mode.

DRASTICALLY IMPROVE SITE SPEED WITH A CDN!

Leveraging a Content Delivery Network (CDN) can significantly speed up your WordPress site.  Our CDN service allows your images (photos) to be distributed across the globe (9 nodes in the US, 4 in Asia, 5 in Europe, and 1 in Australia) so that visitors load them from the nearest location.  This means your web pages load faster.

KEEP YOUR BLOG SAFE AND SECURE

Lexiconn pre-installs several plugins to help keep your blog secure and up-to-date.  Rename wp-login.php provides a little security by obscurity, while Limit Login Attempts helps thwart brute-force attacks and proactively blocks known hacker IP addresses.  The WP Updates Notifier is a lightweight plugin that notifies WordPress administrators whenever an updated core program, plugin or theme  is released.  Keeping your WordPress platform up-to-date is your best defense against would-be hackers attempting to exploit vulnerable plugins/themes.
