Of course, we support the customer in concluding a corresponding hosting contract.

Which products are used?
Only by using excellent software can you achieve excellent results – here is an ace selection of the software we work with:

WordPress management
As soon as you add forms or comment functions to your website, you open the gates for spammers. To avoid being flooded with spam messages, you need a solid anti-spam solution. Cleantalk is a proven solution to this problem. A visitor entry is checked by Cleantalk and only released if a spam bot can be excluded. From our experience, the solution works 100% flawlessly.
Anti-Spam
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) must, of course, be observed when operating a website – especially when using software that collects and analyzes user data – including, for example, the visitor’s IP address. To be on the safe side here, the use of a cookie banner is always necessary when a visitor cookie is set for this purpose. Borlabs is probably the most widely used software in Germany and offers all the necessary functions.
With Borlabs Cookie Opt-in you get an easy to use plugin for WordPress that allows you to integrate cookies e.g. retargeting cookies like from Google AdSense via opt-in. Only when a visitor gives his consent, the JavaScript is activated and the cookie is set, thus complying with the General Data Protection Regulation.

When it comes to website security, the use of a so-called web application firewall is a good choice to block attacks. Already the free version of Wordfence offers sufficient protection, for an extended protection the paid version can be used, which among other things works with real-time firewall rules (the free version only with 30-day old rules).
In addition to the firewall function, Wordfence regularly scans for vulnerabilities and irregularities on the website and offers the possibility to secure the login to WordPress with 2-factor authentication.

Whenever more complex scenarios need to be mapped, the use of Crocoblock makes sense. Especially the use of Jet Engine to create so-called “Custom Post Types” is useful in many cases. For example, the real estate agent only has to fill out a form with the details of the property and a post of this property is created and displayed on the website – it couldn’t be easier.
But also the use of the other tools for creating filters, searches, mega menus or special effects on the website are worth the purchase.

Website Optimization
Whenever more complex scenarios need to be mapped, the use of Crocoblock makes sense. Especially the use of Jet Engine to create so-called “Custom Post Types” is useful in many cases.
But also the use of the other tools for creating filters, searches, mega menus or special effects on the website are worth the purchase.
Crocoblock Suite includes numerous plugins that can be used depending on the application. JetEngine provides dynamic content like Custom Post Typoes, JetMenu can be used to create mega menus, JetElements provides numerous Elementor widgets, JetSearch extends the search on the website, etc. Booking and scheduling solutions are included as well as numerous extensions for the WooCommerce store system.
Whenever it comes to displaying content in the same format repeatedly on the web page, JetEngine helps. For example, the real estate agent only has to fill out a form with the details of the property and a post of this property is created and displayed on the website – it couldn’t be easier. Have a look at the References page – this listing was created with Jetengine.
Website Optimization
After an initial creation, you often have to put your hand aside with regard to optimization.
On the one hand, this concerns the optimization in the area of search engines, see here also in the area of SEO .
But a variety of settings can also be made in the area of loading times (also a subtopic of SEO) and security. We optimize the websites individually, depending on the customer’s requirements.
When it comes to loading times, we use the following solutions, among others:
Using a special plugin, the images are not only reduced in size, but also delivered in the modern WebP format. As a result, we reduce the size of the delivered images and thus their loading times considerably!
By means of optimized caching plugins based on WordPress, the content is delivered faster and the loading times are thus significantly reduced.
With the help of a special plugin, CSS and JS files are minimized as much as possible and only loaded on the page when they are needed for its functionality.
For demanding tasks in the area of loading times – e.g. for globally accessible websites – but also in the area of security, we offer the use of a so-called “Content Delivery Network” (CDN) by means of the provider Cloudflare.
Security
A secure web presence is essential for businesses and organizations to provide a reliable and safe experience for their customers and users. A secure website means that users’ data is protected, that it is not misused and that it does not fall into the hands of cybercriminals. User authentication must also be ensured to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing sensitive data. In addition, it is important that the website is always kept up to date to ensure optimal security. This enables businesses and organizations to provide a secure and reliable experience for their customers. In addition, a secure web presence can help build customer confidence in the company or organization. By regularly reviewing the web presence, security vulnerabilities can be detected and fixed early, which is an effective deterrent to cybercrime. To take full advantage of these benefits, it is therefore important that companies and organizations have a secure web presence.
In the area of security and protection of the website, we rely on a combination of various measures that all interlock and as a package increase the security of the website:
For basic protection, we follow the usual procedures for securing a website:
- Daily update of all WordPress components (core, plugins, themes, translations) via a special plugin tool
- Daily backup of all data to third-party cloud storage
- Scanning of relevant security channels for possible threats
- Database protection
- Adding HTTP security headers.
By default, we use a free “Web Application Firewall” as a plugin to block the attacks on the site in advance. Upgrading to a paid version offers additional protection here with real-time firewall rules. Additionally, this plugin offers the possibility to secure the login to the WordPress administration interface via 2-factor authentication.
For extended requirements, we combine the above measures with the use of a so-called “Content Delivery Network” (CDN) via the provider Cloudflare.
How the successful combination of the above measures affects can be determined, for example, via Google Pagespeed – the results, as seen below, are excellent!
Appropriate optimizations (e.g. the use of Cloudflare as a CDN and appropriate settings in the SSL configuration) can also achieve A+ values at SSL-Labs .
