WordPress Guides & Tutorials Overview

WordPress guides and tutorials can feel overwhelming when you are just starting out, because there are separate lessons for SEO, speed, security, plugins, themes, and content – and they rarely tell you which order to follow. You might know you need to learn WordPress, but not which tutorial to open first.

On this page, you will find a simple roadmap with links to our most important WordPress guides and tutorials. Start with the basics of setup, then move into traffic, performance, and analytics. Whenever you are unsure what to do next, come back here and choose the next tutorial on your path.

Here is a quick look at the main types of WordPress guides and tutorials you will find in our library:

Speed, Performance And Security

Search engines and visitors both prefer fast, secure websites. Slow pages or constant downtime can undo much of your SEO and content work, so it is worth improving performance early using a few focused WordPress guides.

These performance-focused WordPress tutorials help you reach a good baseline quickly. You do not need a perfect score on every speed test, but you should aim for pages that load comfortably on mobile connections and keep your visitors from clicking away.

Analytics, Tracking And Measurement

As your site grows, guessing is no longer enough. Analytics tools show which WordPress guides and tutorials bring traffic, where users come from, and which topics deserve more attention.

• Google Search Console For WordPress: In the SEO beginner guide, we show how to verify your site and submit an XML sitemap so you can see impressions and clicks in search.
• How To Configure Google Analytics For WordPress: Use our tutorial on adding tracking to your site, then check bounce rate, time on page, and conversions. Read: Google Analytics for WordPress tutorial.
• Content Performance Reviews: In a planned guide, we will share a simple monthly review process that helps you decide which articles to update, which to expand, and which topics to write next.

Once these tracking-focused WordPress tutorials are in place, you can make data-driven decisions instead of publishing blindly and hoping for the best.

Content Planning And Workflow

A strong WordPress site is built on consistent, helpful content. Random posts published once in a while rarely gain momentum. The WordPress guides and tutorials in this section help you create a simple publishing routine.

• Content Planning Workflow For WordPress Blogs: A planned guide that will walk you through brainstorming topics, doing basic keyword research, and mapping posts onto a calendar.
