Thanks!

That looks like a featured slider that’s been modified. If your theme has a featured slider, you could play around with the CSS to give you what you want.

Take a look here and see if any of these helps you…

Its called “Dynamic To Top” by Matt Varone… Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool also when I saw it the first time. Unlike you, I had to read through the page source of the person’s website to find out what the plugin was called… lol..

Enjoy!

Hey Abhishek,

Thank you so much for all the information. I’ve followed through with the security implementation. Just downloaded bulletproof security and ultimate security checker. Hopefully this is enough.

Thanks again for your help. I’ve bookmarked your blog.

Hi Abhishek,

Thank you very much for your reply. Just followed up on your advice and set up things the way you outlined in the tutorial.

I signed up with cloudflare (free account) updated my DNS records (although my domain registrar is still updating), followed the steps in your tutorial and installed the cloudflare plugin and the google speed online api.

I’m a bit confused about how FTP is handled in this situation. Also, I’m assuming that my access to files on my hostgator accounts won’t be disrupted. Please let me know if I’ve misunderstood.

I did not setup CDN in W3 Cache (the last part of your tutorial). It seems site performance without it is still going to be great without it.

On to security optimization. Will let you know how that works out. I recall coming across a security plugin that provides directions on how to make the tweaks. I gotta look in to that again.

Thanks,

Shan

Thank you premiumwp. I will incorporate your recommended changes. (already took the header social icons). Thanks.

Thank you blograzzi.

Hi Abhishek,

Thank you for your feedback.

1. I thought I adjusted the width of the search box – apparently I didn’t. Thanks for pointing that out. Will fix that.

2. I’ll look into alternatives for the rotating globe. I had no idea that it could affect load time. I just thought it was really cool. That’s all =)

3. I have W3 Total Cache plugin installed but CDN is the one module I’m not using. I really don’t know much about CDN. Will do the research.

Thank you for your feedback. Much obliged!

Thank you premiumwp!

Are you suggesting that I move the privacy policy, terms of use to the footer?

I’m still writing content so I figured when I have something more substantial I can use that real estate for something more useful.

I’ll take your advice about reducing the social sharing. Thank you!

Hi,

From what I can tell I did post in the “Your WordPress” section. Am I missing something?

Thanks
