Operating a website is like opening a store. Beautiful design is just the beginning (opening), but keeping the store clean, fully stocked, customers coming in and out regularly and closing orders regularly is the deciding factor in success or failure.
If you own a website but don't know how to make it bring real value, this is a detailed guide to help you optimize and operate your website effectively.
Optimize user experience (UX) and page loading speed
No one has the patience to wait for a website to load for more than 3 seconds. Speed and smoothness are the first "face" of the website.
- Speed optimization: Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to check. Compress images before uploading, minimize redundant code, and use caching.
- Mobile-friendly: The majority of traffic today comes from phones. Make sure the website interface displays correctly on all screen sizes.
- Easy operation: The menu bar, call to action (CTA) button, and search bar should be placed in the most visible locations.
Plan periodic and quality content
Content is the factor that retains customers and attracts new users. A "dead" website is a website that has not updated any articles for a whole year.
- True and Sufficient: Write what customers need, solve their pain, not just write about your products.
- Clear editorial calendar: Schedule your posts regularly (for example, 2 posts/week). This regularity is not only good for readers but also helps Google search bots appreciate your website more.
- Eye-catching Images/Videos: Human nature is lazy to read walls of text. Insert actual images, infographics or short videos to make the article more vivid.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) cannot be ignored
You have good products, good articles, but if you don't do SEO, your website is like a grocery store located deep in a dead end – no one knows about it.
- Keyword research: Find out what phrases customers are typing on Google to search for your products/services.
- SEO On-page: Optimize title, meta description, H1, H2, H3 tags and natural keyword allocation in the article.
- Internal Links: Lead readers from one article to another related article on the website to increase the time they stay (Time on site).
Secure and back up data regularly
Imagine one fine day, your website is hacked or crashes and all data disappears. Don't let that horror scenario happen.
- SSL settings: Make sure your domain name has a security certificate https:// (with green padlock icon). This helps secure customer information and increase reputation with Google.
- Automatic backup: Set up a data backup schedule (weekly or daily depending on website size) so you can restore immediately if something goes wrong.
- Platform Update: If using WordPress or open source code, always update plugins and themes to the latest versions to patch security holes.
Read and understand indicators through measurement tools
Operating a website without looking at statistics is like driving at night without headlights.
- Google Analytics (GA4): Tells you how many people visit the website, what source they come from (Facebook, Google, or direct typing), how long they stay and which pages they visit most often.
- Google Search Console: Indicates which keywords your website is displaying on Google and whether there are any technical errors.
