After tweaking server settings, themes, plugins, etc &#8211; we then also recommend something that has produced good results: <A
href="https://www.cloudflare.com/">CloudFlare</a>.</p><p>From CloudFlare:</p><blockquote><p>CloudFlare protects and accelerates any website online. Once your website is a part of the CloudFlare community, its web traffic is routed through our intelligent global network. We automatically optimize the delivery of your web pages so your visitors get the fastest page load times and best performance. We also block threats and limit abusive bots and crawlers from wasting your bandwidth and server resources. The result: CloudFlare-powered websites see a significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks.</p></blockquote><p>Sound good?  CloudFlare also claims:</p><blockquote><p>On average, a website on CloudFlare<br
/> - loads twice as fast<br
/> - uses 60% less bandwidth<br
/> - has 65% fewer requests<br
/> - is way more secure<br
/> All for free!</p></blockquote><p>They have different packages &#8211; from free to $20/month.  If you have some time &#8211; take a look at their site, and give them a shot.  We use them here and have been very happy with everything (they even have <a

If you are looking for a way to display an email address but you do not want to use the actual email address because you are worried about spam, worry no more.  Check out the &#8220;antispambot()&#8221; function that we have in WordPress. This function will take the email address that you want to use and obfuscates it.  When you view the page you see the actual email address.  When you view the source you do not see you see an encoded email address.</p><p><strong>Example</strong><br
/> In the example below &#8211; I will am using the WordPress function &#8220;antispambot&#8221; to create a mailto link for the  post author (this would go in the loop).</p><pre class="brush: php; title: Custom Code; notranslate">
