In this episode of WP Builds, I talk with Akshat Choudhary, founder of Block Vault, about his new product, Airlift. Airlift is a WordPress optimisation tool that promises to speed up websites with the click of a button by automatically implementing performance enhancements like caching, CDN, and image optimisation. Akshat discusses the challenges and importance of making websites faster for user engagement and conversions. Although building Airlift took longer than anticipated, with three-and-a-half years of development, the goal is to make fast websites accessible to everyone, emphasising the impact on user experience and engagement. Go listen.
This is third of four podcast episodes related to WordPress security. It's the third of our four-part security mini series. Prior to that, the other episodes featured Calvin Alkan as well as Akshat Choudhary. This is Thomas from, we watch your website giving his impression of the state of WordPress security. I did the spiel before, but I'm going to do it again in order to not put anybody's noses out of joint and to make it as fair as possible. I recorded four episodes with Calvin, Akshat, Thomas, and in a future episode, Dan Knauss from SolidWP. They all have that chance to explain the malware madness as we'll get into a little bit later. How WordPress security plugins do or don't, depending on your point of view, protect your WordPress website. Thomas is giving his opinion today and we go into loads of ground. We talk about such subjects as security plugin, and cleanup processes, previous attacks, challenges, and vulnerabilities, security features, Thomas' expertise, protecting your WordPress by blocking IPs, the motivations of hackers, and so much more.
This is second of four podcast episodes related to WordPress security. For the first time ever (well second time I suppose!) I feel like I need to add some context to the show notes so that you understand the context of what I'm doing here. A little while ago there was some news in the WordPress space about the merits of using plugins for securing your WordPress website. Researchers (see the previous episode for more on this) had discovered ways in which the effectiveness of the plugins might be compromised. There were several posts on social media which amplified the issue, making it harder to gain an understanding of what happened, and when. I decided to reach out to a number of people to get 'their side of the story'. Today you're going to hear from Akshat Choudhary from Blogvault and Malcare putting his case for why WordPress firewalls and scanners are useful.

On the podcast today we have Akshat Choudhary. Akshat is the Founder and CEO of BlogVault, MalCare, WP Remote and Airlift. These WordPress plugins allow their customers to build, manage and maintain their WordPress websites. He's based in Bangalore, India and we begin the podcast talking about the state of the WordPress community there. We also talk about why Akshat sees it as useful to bring himself and other members of his team so far to attend WordCamp Europe. What's in it for them and what's their approach to the return on this investment? We then get into a discussion of the security landscape and how the products that Akshat and his team make enable site owners to rest more easily. We go into some of the technical details of how the products work and how they fit neatly into an agency wishing to sell care plans to their website clients.

These WordPress plugins allow their customers to build, manage and maintain their WordPress websites. He's based in Bangalore, India and we begin the podcast talking about the state of the WordPress community there. We know that there's a lot of WordPress products and services coming out of India, but are there events and meetups like we find elsewhere? We also talk about why Akshat sees it as useful to bring himself and other members of his team so far to attend WordCamp Europe. What's in it for them and what's their approach to the return on this investment? We then move on to talk about Akshat's journey creating products in the WordPress space. It's interesting to note that whilst Akshat is clearly great at creating products people wish to use, he's also willing to admit that much of his success can be attributed to serendipity. We then get into a discussion of the security landscape and how the products that Akshat and his team make enable site owners to rest more easily. It's all about backups, site monitoring and firewalls. We go into some of the technical details of how the products work and how they fit neatly into an agency wishing to sell care plans to their website clients. Are there any downsides to adding additional plugins to WordPress websites and do we run the risk of thinking that if we've installed some security and backup plugins, then there's nothing to worry about? Is this a sensible position to take? It's an educational episode with a warm and very amiable guest. Useful links. WP Remote BlogVault Malcare Airlift

Matt Report - A WordPress podcast for digital business owners
When you hear the phrase high performance WordPress websites, what examples come to mind? This is a phrase that I see a lot of companies using in their marketing, which includes Malcare, today's guest and sponsor of this show. Products and services targeting the type of buyer that might be managing a high traffic site like a Buzzfeed or a large WooCommerce store, like, well I can't think of one right now. High traffic or highly functional equals high performance? My vote goes to high value. I know it's not as appealing in the marketing world, but there are lots of website owners that value their site's speed and security that aren't pushing millions or even 10's of thousands of page views a month. And that's what Akshat Choudhary and team are building at Malcare and Blogvault. The catch? Protecting valuable high performance WordPress websites so easily, you don't even have to think about about it.

Let's be clear, this is a great story about something that we'd all like to happen to us! So you're a developer and you come up with an idea that you decide you should build. You really don't think about whether or not there is a target market and how many potential customers you're going to have, you just build it because you have the ability to do it. Then, one day, more or less by chance you meet a bunch of people who just happen to know other people who have the ability to make your product a success for you. It's the stuff of dreams.

Jean Galea and Donnacha MacGloinn, standing in for James Laws this week, go deep into the fascinating story of Akshat Choudhary, founder and CEO of blogvault.net, a WordPress backup service and the most successful WordPress-related business in Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India. Among the topics covered in this free-wheeling, wide-ranging discussion: How Akshat started off in WordPress, what he did before and his future plans. How, as a lone founder with no previous experience of WordPress, he grew BlogVault to a company of 13. How he managed to juggle a demanding day job with working on his WordPress startup every evening. What he doesn’t like about the name of his company. How it felt when a massive competitor launched a very similarly-named product just a week after his, but how it turned out to be a good thing. How to deal with the pressure of being a small fish in a rapidly-changing business environment. Why it is worth doubling down on the WordPress market. The quality of Internet service in India. Is India a scary place to visit? Will a taxi driver punch you in the face and take your Macbook? What are the best Indian destinations for digital nomads? How Akshat’s new malware protection service, Malcare, grew naturally from BlogVault. What is the difference between Blogvault’s malware removal feature and Malcare, his new service. Why he should have released Malcare six months ago. Donnacha’s suggestions to improve the marketing of Malcare. How Jean met Akshat, and what most impressed him. The importance of traveling to meet your customers in person. Bringing the atmosphere of WordCamps back home to India. Gaining big customers such as WPEngine, Godaddy, LiquidWeb, Pantheon, FlyWheel, Cloudways, WPServeur and Savvii.nl. Advantages of running backup and malware-detection tasks through a service, rather than with WordPress plugins on your own hosting. Why continual, incremental backups are vital for eCommerce websites. Is it better to be good at tech or good at marketing? Finding good programmers in Bangalore, and how to retain them. Why, despite oversaturation in the WordPress market, there is always room for another good product. Why Akshat is pretty sure that one of your WordPress sites has malware that you are unaware of. https://blogvault.net/ BlogVault Malcare Migrate Guru - Free WordPress plugin blogVault (@blogVault) | Twitter Akshat Choudhary (@akshatc) | Twitter https://www.linkedin.com/in/akshatchoudhary/ https://blogvault.net/
