4. The AI assistant
The AI assistant is your little helper when it comes to your site content. It can help you with article creation, images, SEO, and overall site performance.
Text
The AI assistant can help you create content. It can write an article, a description of a product/service, create a blog post or similar. The AI assistant helps you generate the text based on the instructions you give it. If you are more specific in the description you give, the text will be more tailored to your preferences.
Pictures
You can create AI-generated images with the AI assistant. Note! This service has a limit of 10 AI-generated images per day. Via the design library you also have an image gallery where you can search for free images that you can use on the page. You can also use well-known websites to download free images, and then you can search for Pexels and Unsplash via search engine. NB! Remember to check the license of the images you download. Some images may have restrictions on use, while others can be used freely.
The images you will use on your site should be edited so that the file size is optimized for the web. This can be done in programs such as Photoshop , Gimp , Canva and similar. Remember to save the images in the correct format ( .jpg , .png or .webp ). Optimized images will contribute to improved performance. A good rule of thumb is that images should not be larger than 200kb in file size.
SEO
SEO stands for search engine optimization . The AI assistant includes AISEO , which is an extension that helps you improve this. It helps you make your website visible in search engines on the Internet (Google, Bing, etc.) .
AISEO provides you with a dedicated user interface that assists you with this. The extension analyzes the content on your page and gives you a score from 0 to 100. Here, content, metadata, headers and structure of the page are factors that come into play. Metadata are words that you think visitors will search for to find your page. In short, SEO makes sense to a search engine and helps potential visitors find your website.
Help
To request help from the AI assistant, click Help in the top right of the toolbar, or by clicking Ask AI via the Help Center in the bottom right. The AI assistant can help you with administrative tasks and suggest smart solutions for your site. For example, you can use the AI assistant to help improve website performance.
5. General tips in WordPress
Extensions
When you create a site in WordPress, there are a huge number of extensions (plugins) to choose from. We recommend that you stick to as few as possible, that is, only use the ones that you find most useful. If you find an extension you want to use, check feedback from other users. The number of feedback can be a good indicator of whether the extension is good or not.
Clean up extensions you don't want to use. You do this by deleting an extension, not just deactivating it. You can find an overview of your extensions in the control panel on the left side of WordPress via Extensions . This helps to secure your WordPress site from security holes that can be exploited by hackers.
Turn on automatic updates
For better security and overall performance, we recommend turning on automatic updates for your WordPress version, extensions, and theme. This will contribute to a more secure website.
You can turn on automatic updates via General in the WordPress control panel. Here you can check Automatic updates . This will help ensure that your WordPress site is up to date at all times and that you have the latest security updates.
Improve performance
For better performance on your WordPress site, we recommend WP Super Cache . There are of course several factors that affect the performance of a WordPress site, but this extension helps with this. Our recommended setup of WP Super Cache can be found here .
Please note: Please follow our instructions carefully as we do not provide support for WordPress extensions. This ensures that everything is set up according to our recommendations.
