About Brad Andersohn
awesome list! here’s another that keeps you up to date on where you rank – rankranger
Thanks Alex, I’ll check it out and see if it qualifies to make the next top list.
I use Malwarebytes and CC Cleaner to maintain my computers. Free versions are all that is needed. Thanks for sharing your web tools, Brad.
Two great additions to the list from a guy I trust and support, thanks Pete.
Now if only I could find a way to speed up my site! I checked out your pingdom.com tool and I’m S-L-O-W–no, I’m SUPER slow! And, I just closed another transaction from using ZoPim–I just keep forgetting to logon when I’m online.
Great list, Brad!
Debe – I can relate. That screen shot at the top of this post was my Internet speed while at the main office at Zillow up in Seattle, you DON’T want to see the speed I have here locally in my home or office. The only true way to get it faster is to get a faster ISP but you’ll have to pay for it.
