Load your images from Akamai & Amazon Cloudfront for free?

Load your images from Akamai & Amazon Cloudfront for free?

Hey There,

In last email, I showed you 4 things that usually make a wordpress site load slow & hopefully you have fixed them by now.

And as promised, in this email I will show you how to serve your images from Akamai & Amazon Cloudfront for free.

But before I do that let me tell you why it’s important to do that...

Well, because as per httparchieve.org average web page now has about 1mb of images (more than 60% of total content, including html, JS & CSS) â€" 30% more than what their size used to be just a year ago.

And it makes total sense because these days we build more graphically pleasing sites & sharing a lot of images on our site because images do get traffic from sites like Facebook, Pinterest, etc.

But the downside of that is the images make our site load slow

But of course, we don’t want to make our site load fast at the cost of how pleasing they look because then that will hurt our conversion too because today people do expect highly pleasant sites.

So what is the solution?

The solution is to
a) make sure they are well optimized &
b) make sure to offload them from more robust servers â€" like Amazon CloudFront CDN & Akamai CDN because the $5 a month hosting is really not built to serve big images...

There is a service called Cloudinary that will let you host your images on Akamai & Amazon CloudFront CDN for free.

And they have special WordPress plugin too which will help you upload all of your images on CloudFront & Akamai with just couple of clicks...How cool is that?

Step 1 - So just go to Cloudinary.com create a free account

Step 2 - install their WordPress Plugin â€" it available at wordpress.org

Step 3 - Click couple of buttons & it will upload all of your images to Akamai or Cloudfront.

That’s it. Believe it or not it’s really that easy & it’s free. So go ahead and upload your images to Akamai & Cloudfront now & start making your pages load super fast & bank more $$$.

That’s it for this email & tomorrow I will send you another email where I will talk about how you can get almost any WordPress site to load in about 3-4 seconds during a weekend without having to write a single line of code or spending a fortune on the hosting servers.

Teach Your Child to Read and Help Your Child Become Smarter


Teach Your Child to Read and Help Your Child Become Smarter

 

Reading is known to have numerous benefits. It increases your world knowledge, enhances your vocabulary, and works to improve your reading comprehension abilities.

But did you know that reading can actually make you smarter?

In fact, reading not only can make a child smarter, the very act of reading can even help to compensate for modest levels of cognitive ability in children by building their vocabulary and general knowledge! This is a finding reported by researchers Cunningham and Stanovich in a report titled "What Reading Does For the Mind".

The simple fact here is that reading can make your child smarter, and that learning to read early on is directly linked to later success in life.

1) Did you know that your child's vocabulary at 3 years old predicts his or her grade one reading success? [1]

2) Did you know that vocabulary and reading ability in first grade strongly predicts grade 11 outcomes? [2]

3) Did you know that your child's reading skill in grade 3 directly influences high school graduation? Studies have found that children who cannot read proficiently by grade 3 are four times more likely to leave school without a diploma than proficient readers! [3]

But how do you teach a young child to read, and isn't that the job of the school and teachers?

You can't be more wrong...

With the right tools, knowledge, and techniques, teaching young children to read can be a simple and effective process. I'd like to introduce to you to a fantastic reading program called Children Learning Reading, which works amazingly well to teach children to read - children as young as just 2 or 3 years old.

The creators of this program have used it to teach their children to read before age 3, and by reading, I mean real, phonetic reading.

I can understand if you find that hard to believe... In fact, I had a tough time believing it myself as well... that is, until I saw the videos they posted. After learning more about their methods and techniques, it became clear how it's possible to teach young children to read effectively.

It is truly within your ability to teach your child to read in a relatively short period of time spending 10 to 15 minutes each day.
