Care to take a guess what the average results have been? 50/100
And one of the main questions that has been coming up is about improving website performance. So, we thought we’d write an article to give you a lot of important information about this issue.

One of the better known athletes, Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest man and indisputably one of the great athletes of all time, won the Olympic 100-meter dash for an unprecedented third straight time on Sunday night
Frankly, my local church website was hacked 3 times after having that same website sit for years without attention. The result? Members weren’t able to pay tithes online for a limited time.

I am still surprised I did not faint (too many sitcoms?), but grateful it all worked out. The funny thing is that, despite […]
