Following on from my previous post detailing how I moved this site from shared webhosting to Amazon Lightsail, I’ve since completed a few more of my To Do list items:

• Installed the Open Graph and Twitter Card Tags plugin and set a default image for sharing to Facebook. I’ve also hooked up my Facebook app ID and secret so I can clear the cache on Facebook when updating a post on my site.
• Used the WP Sweep plugin to clean up hundreds of old post revisions. I also set a limit in wp-config which will be used going forward.
• Set up automated security patching as per this guide.
• Went through my Google Search Console to check for errors and fix where possible.
• Killed off the old shared webhosting!

In case you haven’t heard yet (or seen it on social media), in the next few months I’m going to be transferring to a new team at AWS. This is super exciting, and I’ll share more about the new role once I’m able. But in the meantime, that means that my existing team has an opening for a Solutions Architect Manager! We’re looking for someone who is passionate about helping Aussie businesses reap the benefits of moving to the Cloud, as well as growing and coaching an amazing team of technical folks. Bonus – you get to work with an awesome team of really smart folks! The job description is here, and it’s worth noting that the role is open to both Sydney and Melbourne! Hit me up if you have any questions about it…
