VegasGeek is a WordPress development, support, and consulting agency that documents the real problems we solve for clients and not theoretical best practices. This blog covers WordPress troubleshooting, automation, SEO and AI visibility shifts, and the actual conversations we have with clients before, during, and after a build.
Most of what’s here comes straight from active projects: a hack that needed a rebuild instead of a cleanup, a client who needed talking out of the wrong solution, a cache-purge workflow that started as our own annoyance. If you’re running WordPress and want fixes that have actually been tested in production, you’re in the right place.
