Have you ever started a "quick" DIY project for your private practice, only to find yourself pulling your hair out three days later?
In this episode, I’m sharing a slightly embarrassing (but hopefully helpful) cautionary tale about a recent tech rabbit hole I fell down. After noticing my website traffic had dipped, I decided to take my page speed optimization into my own hands. What followed was a crashed website, a warning from my web host, and hours (days?) of wasted time. I finally hired an expert to fix it in under two hours for $100.
If you are a solo practitioner trying to do it all yourself, I want to talk about how to recognize when it’s time to step away from the keyboard and pay an expert to do what they do best.
In this episode, we cover:
Why page speed actually matters for your website traffic and search rankings.
The trap of the DIY rabbit hole (and how to know when you’re officially stuck).
My experience finding an affordable, highly-rated WordPress expert on Upwork.
How to weigh the cost of hiring help against the value of your own time and sanity.
Links & Resources Mentioned:

00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:03.657
Hello, welcome to In the Clinic with Camille. My name is Camille Freeman.
00:00:03.837 --> 00:00:06.617
I'm an herbalist and nutritionist, and in this podcast, I share tips,
00:00:06.797 --> 00:00:10.077
resources, strategies, thoughts that might be helpful for other practitioners.
00:00:10.917 --> 00:00:15.377
Today's topic is when to do something yourself versus when to hire somebody
00:00:15.377 --> 00:00:16.617
who already knows what they're doing.
00:00:16.897 --> 00:00:19.797
We're going to do a little case study, which is involving myself.
00:00:20.617 --> 00:00:25.257
So a couple of weeks ago, I taught a workshop for people in my Monday mentoring
00:00:25.257 --> 00:00:27.817
program about how to update your homepage.
00:00:28.517 --> 00:00:31.057
I might have mentioned it here on the podcast. I think I did.
00:00:31.357 --> 00:00:36.297
And as I was teaching the workshop, we had questions that came up, as they always do.
00:00:36.397 --> 00:00:39.977
One of the things I love about teaching a live workshop versus pre-recording
00:00:39.977 --> 00:00:44.337
a class is that it's more interactive. I can actually hear and see what people
00:00:44.337 --> 00:00:45.917
are doing and thinking about in real time.
00:00:46.377 --> 00:00:50.697
And one of the things that came up in the workshop was, does it make sense to
00:00:50.697 --> 00:00:53.077
have a whole bunch of pictures on a homepage? page.
00:00:53.557 --> 00:00:57.137
And as we were talking about that, it came up that you really want to make sure
00:00:57.137 --> 00:01:01.057
if you have a lot of pictures that it doesn't adversely affect your page speed.
00:01:01.377 --> 00:01:03.057
And I was like, that is a great point.
00:01:03.437 --> 00:01:06.557
I haven't checked my own page speed in a while. Let me go have a look.
00:01:06.717 --> 00:01:12.377
And so after the workshop was over, I went to Google's page speed tool,
00:01:12.657 --> 00:01:14.497
which, you know, I wish there was an alternative.
00:01:14.657 --> 00:01:17.437
But anyway, that's the one that's free and that everybody uses.
00:01:17.697 --> 00:01:22.997
So I went there, I plugged in my homepage and it was red all across,
00:01:23.237 --> 00:01:24.657
red, red, red, bad, bad, bad.
00:01:25.057 --> 00:01:31.997
And I was like, geez, because when your page speed is slow, it has major negative
00:01:31.997 --> 00:01:37.057
effects on whether you come up in search results. So I went into my analytics tool.
00:01:37.197 --> 00:01:39.977
I use something called Independent Analytics, which doesn't do,
00:01:39.997 --> 00:01:43.357
it doesn't do like weird individual tracking.
00:01:43.557 --> 00:01:48.977
It just sort of gathers general data about how many clicks different pages of my website get.
00:01:49.097 --> 00:01:51.637
So I've switched to that from Google Analytics quite a while back,
00:01:51.717 --> 00:01:52.817
but I hardly ever look at it.
00:01:53.157 --> 00:01:56.517
So anyway, good thing it was an inexpensive one-time payment.
00:01:57.497 --> 00:01:59.497
But anyway, I was like, let me just go look. And I was like,
00:01:59.577 --> 00:02:03.897
oh gosh, in the last three months, my traffic is down about 30%.
00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:09.519
And I realized about three months ago, one of my like some sort of page caching
00:02:09.519 --> 00:02:13.519
tool was interfering with some pages in my website. So I just turned it off
00:02:13.519 --> 00:02:14.559
and I never turned it back on.
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.999
And I was like, oh, geez. OK, that's probably the problem.
00:02:18.679 --> 00:02:22.399
So all this has taken me probably like 30 minutes to just sit down and try to figure this out.
00:02:22.799 --> 00:02:27.159
Then I'm like, all right, so probably I just need to turn back on this caching tool.
00:02:27.579 --> 00:02:30.259
And I should probably give you the background that I do my own website.
00:02:30.579 --> 00:02:34.999
I designed the website. I did hire, I have a person that I work with for the
00:02:34.999 --> 00:02:38.059
logo and the colors and the fonts, but she did that.
00:02:38.179 --> 00:02:43.099
And then I took it and did my website. I've been doing my own website for years.
00:02:43.499 --> 00:02:45.979
It doesn't take a ton of time. I kind of know what I'm doing.
00:02:46.119 --> 00:02:48.499
And I just, I think it turned out pretty well for DIY.
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.559
So anyway, I'm like, all right, I probably just need to turn this tool back
00:02:52.559 --> 00:02:54.039
on and that'll fix the problem.
00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:57.559
So then I turned the tool on and I'm like, nope, it's not fixing the problem.
00:02:57.699 --> 00:02:59.559
And maybe I don't know the right settings and blah, blah, blah.
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:05.819
So essentially, over the next day or two, I'm spending multiple hours constantly
00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:10.779
plugging my thing into this page speed and redoing it and trying to figure out what the problem is.
00:03:11.814 --> 00:03:16.894
I did something that caused my website host to say, hey, you're using up too
00:03:16.894 --> 00:03:19.414
much bandwidth or something, and they turned it off for a little while until
00:03:19.414 --> 00:03:21.454
I contacted them. It was a whole situation.
00:03:22.094 --> 00:03:25.694
And I was like, oh my gosh, this is really not great.
00:03:25.954 --> 00:03:30.994
And finally, I was Googling around. I was searching around. I actually don't search on Google.
00:03:31.274 --> 00:03:34.434
I use DuckDuckGo. But anyway, I was searching around, and I saw,
00:03:34.554 --> 00:03:39.034
oh, there's this website where you can hire WordPress coders to fix this problem.
00:03:39.674 --> 00:03:41.934
And I was like, ah, somebody who knows what they're doing can probably fix this
00:03:41.934 --> 00:03:44.774
really quickly. So I did a whole application there.
00:03:45.014 --> 00:03:48.594
The quotes that I got back were $1,200 to fix this problem. And I was like,
00:03:48.734 --> 00:03:51.694
I'm sorry, I just can't right now. That is not in my budget.
00:03:52.234 --> 00:03:53.374
I probably could, but it's not
00:03:53.374 --> 00:03:56.914
how I need to spend $1,200 right this very moment and this moment in time.
00:03:57.534 --> 00:04:00.894
So I was like, I'm just gonna have to keep working on this on my own.
00:04:01.034 --> 00:04:03.534
I'm gonna keep searching around and figuring this out, even though it's been
00:04:03.534 --> 00:04:06.614
multiple work days of my time at this point.
00:04:06.614 --> 00:04:12.734
And then I thought you know what I have hired assistants on Upwork why don't
00:04:12.734 --> 00:04:17.294
I just see if it's the same type of pricing on Upwork or not so I'm searching
00:04:17.294 --> 00:04:22.954
on Upwork I'm just typing speed optimization WordPress which is what I use and
00:04:22.954 --> 00:04:25.954
there I find a couple of people who have,
00:04:26.534 --> 00:04:31.154
hundreds of five-star ratings that do this exact work and one of them is this
00:04:31.154 --> 00:04:33.794
fellow from Ukraine I like supporting people from Ukraine.
00:04:34.514 --> 00:04:40.114
Seems like it was worth a try. It was $100 to have him do whatever the basic
00:04:40.114 --> 00:04:42.434
thing is. And I was like, why don't I just do this for $100?
00:04:42.834 --> 00:04:47.134
Seems reasonable. Well, let me tell y'all, this fella was able to get in there
00:04:47.134 --> 00:04:49.274
and fix whatever the problems were.
00:04:49.414 --> 00:04:54.014
It took him, I think, probably an hour, maybe an hour and a half to do that.
00:04:54.514 --> 00:04:55.894
And I was like, you know what?
00:04:56.574 --> 00:05:01.734
Why did I not just start here? Why did I decide that somehow I was going to
00:05:01.734 --> 00:05:03.874
be able to, like, do a basic.
00:05:04.774 --> 00:05:09.614
Search on DuckDuckGo and figure out how to optimize page speed when I've already
00:05:09.614 --> 00:05:12.054
crashed my website and had to contact support.
00:05:12.334 --> 00:05:17.454
And, you know, it's been tanking my search rankings and this, that and the other.
00:05:17.614 --> 00:05:20.554
I'm like, instead, what I've done is I found this guy who's really,
00:05:20.674 --> 00:05:22.634
really good at this. He knows exactly what he's doing.
00:05:22.774 --> 00:05:27.614
It takes him moments to my hours to fix this to the point where now,
00:05:27.854 --> 00:05:31.054
both on mobile and on desktop,
00:05:31.394 --> 00:05:35.694
the speeds are at least double, If not, most of them are in the green,
00:05:35.894 --> 00:05:38.474
like 100% out of 100, 100 out of 100.
00:05:39.094 --> 00:05:41.174
Mobile's a little bit slower, but that's to be expected. Anyway,
00:05:41.414 --> 00:05:45.514
I was like, wow, that is an extremely great $100.
00:05:45.774 --> 00:05:48.394
If you need his name, please contact me. He does WordPress stuff.
00:05:49.054 --> 00:05:52.074
But the point, the reason I'm telling you all this, in case you're not just
00:05:52.074 --> 00:05:58.114
totally riveted by my story, is that I am constantly relearning the lesson of
00:05:58.114 --> 00:06:01.134
when is it something that I can do by myself?
00:06:01.134 --> 00:06:07.074
And when is it something where it makes sense to pay somebody else who has expertise
00:06:07.074 --> 00:06:10.434
in this, likes doing it, and can do it in a small fraction of the time.
00:06:11.094 --> 00:06:15.294
And sometimes you start down the rabbit hole and it seems like it's going to be easy and it's not.
00:06:15.574 --> 00:06:20.354
So anyway, this is just a little prompt from me to you that if you do start
00:06:20.354 --> 00:06:24.714
doing something yourself and it's causing you strife, you're pulling your hair
00:06:24.714 --> 00:06:26.134
out, you're trying to figure out.
00:06:26.776 --> 00:06:31.876
What to do, you're possibly making things worse rather than better, that is a great sign.
00:06:32.116 --> 00:06:36.036
Why don't you ask around? Even if you don't feel comfortable just searching
00:06:36.036 --> 00:06:41.176
on Upwork like I did, ask around, ask your people, hey, have you ever hired
00:06:41.176 --> 00:06:42.536
somebody to help you with this problem?
00:06:42.936 --> 00:06:44.896
Who was it? Can you give me a referral?
00:06:45.336 --> 00:06:49.096
Does anybody have expertise in this that you think you could solve it pretty quickly?
00:06:49.556 --> 00:06:54.136
At the very least, find out if there is somebody available, how much time it
00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:57.316
would take and how much it would cost, because it may be that it's much more
00:06:57.316 --> 00:06:59.116
affordable than you think.
00:06:59.456 --> 00:07:03.896
All right, so just a little reminder, fine to try to do stuff by yourself,
00:07:04.076 --> 00:07:08.496
but at a certain point, you are going to be better off spending a small amount
00:07:08.496 --> 00:07:12.096
of money to have somebody who actually knows what they're doing fix the problem.
00:07:12.416 --> 00:07:16.356
Okay, so there you go. I hope you have an amazing day. I will be back soon.
00:07:16.596 --> 00:07:19.876
I think we're going to have a couple episodes coming up about AI policies,
00:07:19.876 --> 00:07:27.116
and I'm planning one on some of the functional labs and my opinions on those, which are strong ones.
00:07:27.596 --> 00:07:31.656
All right. If you are not already signed up for my Practitioner Notes newsletter
00:07:31.656 --> 00:07:34.796
that comes out every Thursday, I really encourage you to sign up.
00:07:34.916 --> 00:07:38.636
You can go to intheclinic.com or camillefreeman.com and sign up from every page
00:07:38.636 --> 00:07:40.476
on either of those websites.
00:07:40.756 --> 00:07:45.276
I would love to have you there. I send out little essays. I send out recommendations
00:07:45.276 --> 00:07:50.676
of services, products, recipes, poems, anything that has touched me or made
00:07:50.676 --> 00:07:52.276
my life better or easier in that week.
00:07:52.376 --> 00:07:56.956
I send out three every single week, and I would love to send those to you next
00:07:56.956 --> 00:07:59.156
Thursday. All right. Talk to you soon. Bye.
00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:03.657

I use something called Independent Analytics, which doesn't do,
00:01:39.997 --> 00:01:43.357
it doesn't do like weird individual tracking.
00:01:43.557 --> 00:01:48.977
It just sort of gathers general data about how many clicks different pages of my website get.

and I never turned it back on.
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.999
And I was like, oh, geez. OK, that's probably the problem.
00:02:18.679 --> 00:02:22.399
So all this has taken me probably like 30 minutes to just sit down and try to figure this out.
00:02:22.799 --> 00:02:27.159
Then I'm like, all right, so probably I just need to turn back on this caching tool.
00:02:27.579 --> 00:02:30.259
And I should probably give you the background that I do my own website.
00:02:30.579 --> 00:02:34.999
I designed the website. I did hire, I have a person that I work with for the
00:02:34.999 --> 00:02:38.059
logo and the colors and the fonts, but she did that.
00:02:38.179 --> 00:02:43.099
And then I took it and did my website. I've been doing my own website for years.
00:02:43.499 --> 00:02:45.979
It doesn't take a ton of time. I kind of know what I'm doing.
00:02:46.119 --> 00:02:48.499
And I just, I think it turned out pretty well for DIY.
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.559
So anyway, I'm like, all right, I probably just need to turn this tool back
00:02:52.559 --> 00:02:54.039
on and that'll fix the problem.
00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:57.559
So then I turned the tool on and I'm like, nope, it's not fixing the problem.
00:02:57.699 --> 00:02:59.559
And maybe I don't know the right settings and blah, blah, blah.
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:05.819
So essentially, over the next day or two, I'm spending multiple hours constantly
00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:10.779
plugging my thing into this page speed and redoing it and trying to figure out what the problem is.
00:03:11.814 --> 00:03:16.894
I did something that caused my website host to say, hey, you're using up too
00:03:16.894 --> 00:03:19.414
much bandwidth or something, and they turned it off for a little while until
00:03:19.414 --> 00:03:21.454
I contacted them. It was a whole situation.
00:03:22.094 --> 00:03:25.694
And I was like, oh my gosh, this is really not great.
00:03:25.954 --> 00:03:30.994
And finally, I was Googling around. I was searching around. I actually don't search on Google.
00:03:31.274 --> 00:03:34.434
I use DuckDuckGo. But anyway, I was searching around, and I saw,
00:03:34.554 --> 00:03:39.034
oh, there's this website where you can hire WordPress coders to fix this problem.
00:03:39.674 --> 00:03:41.934
And I was like, ah, somebody who knows what they're doing can probably fix this
00:03:41.934 --> 00:03:44.774
really quickly. So I did a whole application there.
00:03:45.014 --> 00:03:48.594
The quotes that I got back were $1,200 to fix this problem. And I was like,
00:03:48.734 --> 00:03:51.694
I'm sorry, I just can't right now. That is not in my budget.
00:03:52.234 --> 00:03:53.374
I probably could, but it's not
00:03:53.374 --> 00:03:56.914
how I need to spend $1,200 right this very moment and this moment in time.
00:03:57.534 --> 00:04:00.894
So I was like, I'm just gonna have to keep working on this on my own.
00:04:01.034 --> 00:04:03.534
I'm gonna keep searching around and figuring this out, even though it's been
00:04:03.534 --> 00:04:06.614
multiple work days of my time at this point.
00:04:06.614 --> 00:04:12.734
And then I thought you know what I have hired assistants on Upwork why don't
00:04:12.734 --> 00:04:17.294
I just see if it's the same type of pricing on Upwork or not so I'm searching
00:04:17.294 --> 00:04:22.954
on Upwork I'm just typing speed optimization WordPress which is what I use and
00:04:22.954 --> 00:04:25.954
there I find a couple of people who have,
00:04:26.534 --> 00:04:31.154
hundreds of five-star ratings that do this exact work and one of them is this
00:04:31.154 --> 00:04:33.794
fellow from Ukraine I like supporting people from Ukraine.
00:04:34.514 --> 00:04:40.114
Seems like it was worth a try. It was $100 to have him do whatever the basic
00:04:40.114 --> 00:04:42.434
thing is. And I was like, why don't I just do this for $100?
00:04:42.834 --> 00:04:47.134
Seems reasonable. Well, let me tell y'all, this fella was able to get in there
00:04:47.134 --> 00:04:49.274
and fix whatever the problems were.
00:04:49.414 --> 00:04:54.014
It took him, I think, probably an hour, maybe an hour and a half to do that.
00:04:54.514 --> 00:04:55.894
And I was like, you know what?
00:04:56.574 --> 00:05:01.734
Why did I not just start here? Why did I decide that somehow I was going to
00:05:01.734 --> 00:05:03.874
be able to, like, do a basic.
00:05:04.774 --> 00:05:09.614
Search on DuckDuckGo and figure out how to optimize page speed when I've already
00:05:09.614 --> 00:05:12.054
crashed my website and had to contact support.
00:05:12.334 --> 00:05:17.454
And, you know, it's been tanking my search rankings and this, that and the other.
00:05:17.614 --> 00:05:20.554
I'm like, instead, what I've done is I found this guy who's really,
00:05:20.674 --> 00:05:22.634
really good at this. He knows exactly what he's doing.
00:05:22.774 --> 00:05:27.614
It takes him moments to my hours to fix this to the point where now,
00:05:27.854 --> 00:05:31.054
both on mobile and on desktop,
00:05:31.394 --> 00:05:35.694
the speeds are at least double, If not, most of them are in the green,
00:05:35.894 --> 00:05:38.474
like 100% out of 100, 100 out of 100.
00:05:39.094 --> 00:05:41.174
Mobile's a little bit slower, but that's to be expected. Anyway,
00:05:41.414 --> 00:05:45.514
I was like, wow, that is an extremely great $100.
00:05:45.774 --> 00:05:48.394
If you need his name, please contact me. He does WordPress stuff.
00:05:49.054 --> 00:05:52.074
But the point, the reason I'm telling you all this, in case you're not just
00:05:52.074 --> 00:05:58.114
totally riveted by my story, is that I am constantly relearning the lesson of
00:05:58.114 --> 00:06:01.134
when is it something that I can do by myself?
00:06:01.134 --> 00:06:07.074
And when is it something where it makes sense to pay somebody else who has expertise
00:06:07.074 --> 00:06:10.434
in this, likes doing it, and can do it in a small fraction of the time.
00:06:11.094 --> 00:06:15.294
And sometimes you start down the rabbit hole and it seems like it's going to be easy and it's not.
00:06:15.574 --> 00:06:20.354
So anyway, this is just a little prompt from me to you that if you do start
00:06:20.354 --> 00:06:24.714
doing something yourself and it's causing you strife, you're pulling your hair
00:06:24.714 --> 00:06:26.134
out, you're trying to figure out.
00:06:26.776 --> 00:06:31.876
What to do, you're possibly making things worse rather than better, that is a great sign.
00:06:32.116 --> 00:06:36.036
Why don't you ask around? Even if you don't feel comfortable just searching
00:06:36.036 --> 00:06:41.176
on Upwork like I did, ask around, ask your people, hey, have you ever hired
00:06:41.176 --> 00:06:42.536
somebody to help you with this problem?
00:06:42.936 --> 00:06:44.896
Who was it? Can you give me a referral?
00:06:45.336 --> 00:06:49.096
Does anybody have expertise in this that you think you could solve it pretty quickly?
00:06:49.556 --> 00:06:54.136
At the very least, find out if there is somebody available, how much time it
00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:57.316
would take and how much it would cost, because it may be that it's much more
00:06:57.316 --> 00:06:59.116
affordable than you think.
00:06:59.456 --> 00:07:03.896
All right, so just a little reminder, fine to try to do stuff by yourself,
00:07:04.076 --> 00:07:08.496
but at a certain point, you are going to be better off spending a small amount
00:07:08.496 --> 00:07:12.096
of money to have somebody who actually knows what they're doing fix the problem.
00:07:12.416 --> 00:07:16.356
Okay, so there you go. I hope you have an amazing day. I will be back soon.
00:07:16.596 --> 00:07:19.876
I think we're going to have a couple episodes coming up about AI policies,
00:07:19.876 --> 00:07:27.116
and I'm planning one on some of the functional labs and my opinions on those, which are strong ones.
00:07:27.596 --> 00:07:31.656
All right. If you are not already signed up for my Practitioner Notes newsletter
00:07:31.656 --> 00:07:34.796
that comes out every Thursday, I really encourage you to sign up.
00:07:34.916 --> 00:07:38.636

00:07:38.636 --> 00:07:40.476
on either of those websites.
00:07:40.756 --> 00:07:45.276
I would love to have you there. I send out little essays. I send out recommendations
00:07:45.276 --> 00:07:50.676
of services, products, recipes, poems, anything that has touched me or made
00:07:50.676 --> 00:07:52.276
my life better or easier in that week.
00:07:52.376 --> 00:07:56.956
I send out three every single week, and I would love to send those to you next
00:07:56.956 --> 00:07:59.156
Thursday. All right. Talk to you soon. Bye.
