Experimenta con tu web en los sitios de pruebas de WordPress.com

En el jazz, cada instrumento y cada ritmo necesita una sincronización perfecta. Pero para conseguirla se necesita mucha práctica y experimentación. Ni los improvisadores con más talento se lanzarían a una nueva actuación sin haber ensayado antes.

¿Te suena?

Tu página web es como una banda de jazz donde sus elementos, desde el contenido y las imágenes hasta los plugins y formularios, deben trabajar en armonía. Pero si siempre haces los cambios en tu sitio activo, te arriesgas a que el solo salga mal o que se te caigan las baquetas. A cometer fallos que pueden crear una experiencia de usuario mediocre o incluso a que el sitio se rompa por completo.

Y aquí es donde resulta más útil nuestra nueva función, los sitios de pruebas.

¡Han llegado los sitios de pruebas!

Nos alegra anunciar que todos los usuarios con planes Business y Commerce tienen disponibles desde ya mismo los sitios de prueba. Con esta herramienta, podrás probar cambios y actualizaciones en un entorno seguro y estable. 


Un sitio de pruebas es una versión de tu sitio que puedes utilizar para previsualizar y comprobar posibles errores antes de hacer cambios definitivos en tu sitio en producción.


Aunque normalmente es una herramienta que se dirige a los desarrolladores, los sitios de pruebas no son únicamente para personas con conocimientos técnicos. Ya seas bloguero, tengas una tienda online o un podcast, podrás darle uso a esta función para probar diferentes diseños, experimentar con nuevos plugins o incluso probar algo de código personalizado antes de lanzar públicamente cualquier cambio.

Ventajas de usar sitios de pruebas

Estas son algunas situaciones que serán más cómodas gracias a los sitios de pruebas de WordPress.com:

  • Pruebas sin riesgos: experimenta sin preocupaciones. Al simular los cambios en un sitio de pruebas, puedes identificar y arreglar cualquier error que pudiera afectar al rendimiento o la velocidad de tu web.
  • Desarrollo más rápido: los sitios de pruebas hacen mucho más fácil el desarrollar y lanzar nuevas opciones, plugins y diseños en menos tiempo.
  • Mayor colaboración: un sitio de pruebas permite que diferentes personas puedan revisar y valorar cualquier cambio en un entorno seguro antes de hacerlos públicos.

Cómo empezar a utilizar los sitios de pruebas en WordPress.com

¿Quieres probarlos? Puedes tener tu propio sitio de pruebas funcionando en tres simples pasos:

  1. Desde el escritorio, ve a Ajustes → Configuración del alojamiento.
  2. Baja hasta el módulo «Sitio de pruebas».
  3. Haz clic en «Añadir sitio de pruebas».

¡Enhorabuena! Ahora ya tienes un entorno de pruebas funcional para experimentar con el diseño, plugins, código o lo que se te ocurra.

Si ya tienes un sitio de pruebas, verás este mensaje:

Una vez hayas creado un sitio de pruebas, puedes acceder a él y gestionarlo desde este módulo en la página de Configuración del alojamiento, y también puedes encontrarlo en la página de sitios.

¡Consulta toda la información sobre los sitios de pruebas y anímate a probarlos!

Crea tu web con WordPress.com

Los sitios de pruebas son solo una de las razones por las que WordPress.com es el mejor hosting gestionado para WordPress del mundo. Añadimos continuamente nuevas herramientas, como el acceso SSH, la gestión centralizada de sitios o la vista previa del sitio mejorada.

¿Te gustaría ver alguna otra función? ¿Qué podemos hacer para convertir WordPress.com en un lugar aún mejor para crear una página web? No dudes en dejarnos un comentario o ponerte en contacto con nuestro equipo.

Safely Jazz Up Your Website With Staging Sites on WordPress.com

In jazz, each instrument and rhythm needs to be in sync — but that doesn’t happen without a lot of practice and experimentation behind the scenes. Even the most talented improvisers wouldn’t roll out a brand new number without having rehearsed it beforehand. 

Sound familiar? 

Your website isn’t all that different from a jazz band — various elements (content, images, plugins, and forms) that all have to work together to create a cohesive experience. But when you’re always making edits to a live, working site, you risk the site-design version of flubbing a solo or even dropping your drumsticks: a mistake that might create a poor user experience, or even break the site altogether.

That’s where staging sites, our newest hosting feature, comes in handy. 

Staging sites are here! 

We’re excited to announce that staging sites are now available for all customers on our Business and Commerce plans. This powerful feature allows you to test changes and updates of all your site elements in a safe and stable environment.


Staging Site: A test version of your website you can use to preview and troubleshoot changes before applying them to your production site.


Though generally geared towards developers, staging sites aren’t just for the tech-savvy. Bloggers, shop owners, podcasters — anyone with a website can benefit from iterating on design, experimenting with new plugins, and even trying out custom code before publicly unveiling the updates. 

The benefits of using staging sites

Here are just a few of the benefits of using WordPress.com staging sites:

  • Risk-free testing: Experiment without worry. By simulating changes on a staging site first, you can identify and fix any issues that could affect your website’s performance or speed.
  • Faster development: Staging sites make it easier to develop and launch new features, plugins, and designs in even less time.
  • Increased collaboration: A staging site allows multiple stakeholders to review and agree on changes in a safe place before going live.

How to get started with staging sites on WordPress.com

Want to give it a shot? You can have your own staging site up and running in three simple steps: 

  1. Starting in your dashboard, go to Settings → Hosting Configuration.
  2. Scroll down to the “Staging site” module.
  3. Click “Add staging site.”

Congrats! You now have a working staging environment to play around with site design, plugins, code, etc.

If you’ve already created a staging site, you’ll see this instead:

After your staging site is created, you can access and manage it from the module seen above on the Hosting Configuration page, or you can find it on the Sites page

Learn more about staging sites and try one out today!

Build Your Next Site on WordPress.com

Staging sites are just one more reason WordPress.com is the best managed WordPress hosting on the planet. Whether it’s SSH access, centralized site management, or enhanced site preview, we’re constantly adding new tools to make WordPress.com an indispensable part of your workflow. Follow our Developer Blog to keep up with all the latest announcements!

What other features would you like to see? How can we make WordPress.com an even more powerful place to build a website? Feel free to leave a comment or contact our friendly support.

Why Twitter Auto-Sharing Is Coming to an End

In early April, we experienced an unexpected suspension of our Twitter API access. This access is what powers Jetpack Social, which in turn helps you automatically share your blog posts to Twitter. Though the service was restored that same day, it turns out that there were bigger changes looming on the horizon. 

Twitter recently notified Automattic that it was dramatically changing the terms and pricing of the Twitter API. The cost increase is prohibitive for us to absorb without passing a significant price increase along to you, and we don’t see that as an option. We have attempted to negotiate a path forward, but haven’t been able to reach an agreement in time for Twitter’s May 1 cutoff. 

Given that, we have decided to discontinue using the Twitter API.

For WordPress.com and Jetpack users, Twitter will no longer be part of Jetpack Social. However, we’re adding Instagram and Mastodon very soon. In the meantime, auto-sharing to Tumblr, Facebook, and LinkedIn still works as expected, and you can continue sharing your blog post links on Twitter manually through their app or desktop site.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes for your website and marketing efforts. We wish the outcome had been different, but our customers are always our primary concern, and we’re not willing to compromise the experience or value you receive from WordPress.com and Jetpack. 

If your recent experiences with Twitter have left you dissatisfied, go take Tumblr for a spin — we hear it’s quite a party over there.

Novedades en WordPress.com: modo sin distracciones, tiempo de lectura estimado y revisiones de diseños

En WordPress.com, nuestro compromiso es seguir mejorando nuestra plataforma para que puedas crear, diseñar y publicar todo lo que quieras facilmente.

Estas últimas semanas hemos estado muy ocupados: hemos mejorado aún más algunos aspectos de la escritura y publicación de artículos y nos hemos asegurado de que se puede acceder fácilmente a las versiones anteriores de los cambios que hayas hecho, entre otras cosas.

Vamos a echar un vistazo.   

Escribe sin distracciones 

Cuando te enfrentas a la página en blanco, uno de los mayores desafíos que tienes por delante no tiene tanto que ver con encontrar las palabras sino con evitar las distracciones (tanto en sentido literal como figurado). No podemos cambiar entorno físico en el que estás, pero sí podemos ayudarte a entrar en el «modo concentración» más fácilmente. Prueba el modo sin distracciones, una experiencia minimalista de WordPress que oculta los botones y menús.

En la barra de herramientas superior, haz clic en el menú de tres puntos de la parte derecha. Selecciona «Sin distracciones» y verás que la barra superior desaparece. (Para verla de nuevo, solo tienes que pasar el cursor por la parte superior de la página y volverá a aparecer). Tus páginas y entradas estarán libres de distracciones hasta que desactives este modo.

Cuándo utilizar esta función: si no te puedes resistir a probar diferentes ajustes y estilos mientras escribes una nueva entrada (a nosotros también nos ha pasado) y necesitas concentrarte en terminarla. Con esta interfaz más minimalista, es más fácil concentrarse solo en las palabras. 

Encuentra y añade imágenes gratuitas fácilmente

¿Necesitas una imagen destacada para tu nueva entrada? Ahora puedes buscar y añadir imágenes gratuitas mucho más rápido. Abre el insertador (el botón «+» en la parte superior izquiera de cualquier página o entrada), navega hasta la sección «Medios», haz clic en «Openverse» y encuentra la opción ideal en nuestra biblioteca de código abierto favorita.

También puedes seguir accediendo a Openverse desde el bloque Imagen o desde la biblioteca de medios. 

Cuándo utilizar esta función: si estás buscando la imagen perfecta para tu nueva entrada de blog. En vez de buscarla en Google en otra pestaña (y arriesgarte a usar una imagen con derechos de autor), utiliza el insertador para buscar exactamente lo que quieres.

Dale a tus lectores un tiempo de lectura estimado

Esta es una curiosa función integrada que mucha gente no conoce: en el editor de WordPress.com hay una función que muestra de un vistazo todos los encabezados de la entrada, además de un recuento de caracteres y palabras, y un «tiempo de lectura» estimado de cuánto tiempo tardaría un lector medio en leer el contenido de la página. 

Incluso puedes mostrar este tiempo estimado en tu sitio con el bloque Tiempo de lectura. (Las personalizaciones de estilo están de camino). 

Cuándo utilizar esta función: si sueles escribir muchos textos largos en tu sitio, normalmente entradas con más de 1000 palabras. Con este nuevo bloque, tus lectores pueden elegir si empezar a leer la entrada ahora o esperar a tener tiempo para leerla del tirón. Es un pequeño detalle, pero muy considerado. 

Accede a versiones previas de tus plantillas 

El acceso a revisiones y versiones anteriores de páginas y entradas ha sido siempre un básico de WordPress. Ahora hemos añadido la misma funcionalidad para las plantillas y las partes de plantillas en el editor. 

Esto puede ser muy útil para restaurar una versión previa de una plantilla en la que has hecho cambios o simplemente para revisar las modificaciones que has hecho a lo largo del tiempo. 

Cuándo utilizar esta función: esta función es útil si has estado experimentando con algunos cambios de estilo en la plantilla de tu página de inicio, pero después de probarlos un par de semanas no te convence el nuevo diseño. En este caso, puedes utilizar las revisiones para restaurar una versión anterior de la plantilla.

What’s New on WordPress.com: Focus Mode, Promotion From Your Pocket, and Risk-Free Redesigns

At WordPress.com, we’re always pushing our platform to do even more so that you can create, design, and publish amazing things with ease. 

The last few weeks have found us as busy as the springtime bees improving the writing and publishing process even more, bringing our ad platform to mobile, and ensuring that previous edits to your work are readily accessible. 

Let’s jump in and take a look.   

Write without distractions 

One of writing’s biggest challenges has nothing to do with the words — it’s filtering out the noise (both literal and figurative) so you can focus. We can’t change your physical environment, but we’re doing what we can to help you get into “the zone” a little more easily. Enter distraction free mode, a minimalist WordPress experience that removes the buttons and menus.   

From the top toolbar, click the three-dot menu on the right-hand side. Select “Distraction free” and you’ll notice the top toolbar disappear. (To bring it back, simply hover over the top of the page and it’ll pop back down.) Your pages and posts will be distraction-free until you deselect this mode. 

When to use this feature: You can’t resist experimenting with various settings or styles, but you also really need to get that new post finished. (Believe us, we’ve been there.) With this cleaner interface, you can focus on your words and your words alone. 

Promote your content from your phone 

Blaze, our self-serve ad platform, makes it easier than ever to spread the word about whatever it is you’re writing, creating, or selling. Now, you can Blaze on the go with the Jetpack app

From the main dashboard, simply click on the banner that says “Promote your content with Blaze.” You can also promote your work directly from the Posts or Pages menus by clicking “More” or the three-dot menu and selecting “Promote with Blaze.” 

When to use this feature: You’re waiting for take-out at your favorite Indian restaurant. While scrolling the Jetpack app, you notice traffic spiking on one of your recent blog posts — something about it is resonating with readers. Maximize its impact by boosting it to an even wider audience with Blaze.

Easily find and add free images 

Need a featured image for your post? You can now find and add free-to-use images even faster. Open the Inserter (the red “+” button at the top left of any post or page), navigate to the tab labeled “Media,” click “Openverse,” and find the perfect option from our favorite open-source library

You can also still access Openverse from the Image Block or Media Library. 

When to use this feature: You’re on the hunt for just the right image to use in your new blog post. Rather than doing a Google search in a separate tab — and running the risk of using an image you don’t have rights to — use the Inserter to search and place exactly what you need. 

Give readers a timetable

Here’s a fun built-in feature that a lot of folks don’t know about: The WordPress.com editor’s “Outline” function displays a post’s various headings for easy scanning, as well as a word/character count and a “time to read” estimate of how long it would take an average reader to get through the content on that page: 

You can even display that estimate to your site visitors with the new Time To Read Block. (Styling and other customization options are on the way.) 


When to use this feature: You do a lot of longform writing on your site, regularly publishing posts that go over 1,000 words. With this new block, let readers decide whether to start your post now, or wait until they have time to read it in one sitting. It’s a small touch, but a surprisingly thoughtful one. 

Access previous edits to your templates 

Access to previous versions and revisions of posts/pages has long been a staple of the WordPress experience. We’ve now added that same functionality to templates and template parts in the Editor.  

This can be useful for restoring a previous version of a template that you’ve made changes to, or simply for reviewing the changes you’ve made over time. 

When to use this feature: You experimented with some stylistic changes to your homepage template, but after a couple weeks of trying it out, the new look just isn’t hitting quite right. Head over to revisions to easily restore the previous version of the template.

Case Study: LUBUS Agency’s Clients Save 50-90% by Migrating to WordPress.com

Executive Summary

LUBUS, a development agency specializing in WordPress and Laravel, faced challenges with variable hosting costs and maintenance for their clients. They needed a solution that offered fixed costs, high performance, secure web hosting, and reliable service and support. LUBUS decided to test WordPress.com and, after witnessing positive results, confidently recommended it to their clients.

The migration to WordPress.com led to faster site load times, improved stability during traffic surges, and significant cost savings of 50-90% for clients. This allowed LUBUS to concentrate on its core services and offer a more straightforward solution to its clients without the need for DevOps budgets or ongoing maintenance costs. WordPress.com provided an all-in-one solution, ensuring a stable, secure, and cost-efficient experience for LUBUS’s clients.

Introduction

We recently spoke with Ajit Bohra, the Founder and WordPress Engineer of LUBUS, a development agency specializing in WordPress and Laravel. LUBUS, established in 2008, creates high-quality websites for clients in India and across the globe. They have experience building a wide variety of websites, including healthcare, renewables, publishers, telecommunications, music news, online stores, and more. 

Their commitment to delivering “friendly solutions” in WordPress website development led them to seek a solution that provides their clients with:

  • A website with fixed costs and no hard limits
  • A high-performance, secure web hosting platform
  • A host managed and maintained by WordPress experts
  • Reliable service and support

LUBUS chose to test WordPress.com and, after witnessing positive results, confidently recommended it to many of their clients.

The LUBUS Story

LUBUS has a team of 12 WordPress designers and developers, serving 8 to 10 new clients annually. About 60% of their clients retain LUBUS’s maintenance and consulting services after the initial site development and launch.

Previously, they hosted clients on AWS (Amazon Web Services) and similar cloud hosting services. While these solutions were suitable for clients who required more complex control, they presented difficulties for many others.

The Challenges and Needs of Various WordPress Website Clients

LUBUS aimed to provide the best service to their clients while keeping their workload focused on core offerings.

Stable Costs and Hosting

For many clients, particularly those in emerging markets or with smaller budgets, the variable billing costs of providers like AWS were often disruptive. These clients needed to budget for exact costs without unexpected charges at the end of a pricing period. Some clients experienced large traffic spikes that either caused their websites to crash or resulted in increased costs to cover additional resources. Neither scenario supports effective growth and scaling.

Ajit Bohra, the LUBUS founder, shared an example where they migrated a heavy metal client’s website to WordPress.com. When the band Metallica shared one of the client’s articles, the site effortlessly handled the traffic surge without incurring additional costs or experiencing any performance issues.

Maintenance and Worry-Free Hosting

In the absence of managed hosting, clients either had to maintain the environment themselves or pay LUBUS for maintenance. This extra time and cost were prohibitive to clients and diverted LUBUS from its primary focus.

“We needed to move away from DevOps and concentrate on our core services. We searched for a straightforward solution that clients could manage themselves without DevOps budgets or ongoing maintenance costs. We aimed to provide clients with a reliable hosting service we could endorse without hesitation, ultimately resulting in satisfied clients. We found that service with WordPress.com,” explained Ajit Bohra, LUBUS founder.

Why LUBUS Chose to Migrate Clients to WordPress.com

Ajit and his team members often attended WordCamps, where they conversed with WordPress.com representatives. Eventually, Ajit felt confident enough to trial WordPress.com with a budget client who wanted to manage their site independently in the future. Factors that contributed to his decision to test WordPress.com included:

  • Eliminating security concerns for both LUBUS and the client
  • Removing worries about performance or speed
  • The platform’s development by the same team behind the open-source WordPress application
  • Clients feeling confident enough to manage their own site, knowing they’re protected by Jetpack backups, activity logs, and backed up by excellent WordPress.com support
  • Giving clients an option for a lower and more reliable cost model. 

The Migration Process

LUBUS found the migration process smooth and cost-effective, significantly reducing DevOps and maintenance expenses.

As LUBUS migrated more clients to WordPress.com, they continued to experience smooth, error-free migrations. Even in challenging situations, the WordPress.com Happiness Engineers (support team) resolved issues efficiently, providing a positive experience for LUBUS.

The Results: Speed, Stability, and Cost Savings

We were eager to learn LUBUS’s thoughts on their experience with migrating clients’ sites to WordPress.com. Here’s what we discovered.

Faster Sites

Although LUBUS focuses on well-developed sites optimized for fast load times, developers cannot control the server’s TTFB (Time to First Byte). TTFB measures the time it takes for the first byte of the page to load in the client’s browser, reflecting the server’s responsiveness. On average, LUBUS observed a 60-70% improvement in TTFB speed after migrating sites to WordPress.com. This improvement can mean the difference between users staying on the site or leaving due to frustration with load times.

Stability

Some hosting providers hinder a client’s website success and growth. When a site experiences a traffic surge due to a successful marketing or social campaign, some hosts either fail to allocate the necessary resources to keep the site running or charge substantial fees for the extra resources. In both cases, the client’s potential gains from the traffic surge are negatively impacted.

LUBUS clients appreciate that WordPress.com aims to help them succeed rather than penalize them for their success. With high-performance CPUs and automated burst scaling, clients can trust that their sites will withstand traffic surges without incurring additional costs.

Cost Savings

LUBUS founder Ajit Bohra stated, “Many of our clients saved a considerable amount of money, ranging from 50% to over 90%, on hosting charges after moving to WordPress.com. This significant savings offers a tremendous boost for clients, especially in countries like India, or those with basic sites, blogs, webzines, mid-level traffic eCommerce sites, and startups.”

The End Result

“There are many reasons we recommend WordPress.com to clients.

—Clients want us, and their hosting provider, to simplify their lives.
—We don’t want clients to be intimidated by WordPress, and WordPress.com makes it much easier for them to adapt.
—Clients are skeptical about relying on plugins for tasks that should be managed by hosting, which WordPress.com does.
—Clients want everything in one place, such as support, domain, content, marketing tools, and hosting.
—Clients want to know their site will be stable, secure, and cost-efficient.

WordPress.com makes it simple to meet our clients’ needs.”

—Ajit Bohra, LUBUS founder
