GTCollection.com is ONLINE and finally accepting orders!

You’ll find an intentionally “stripped” production version of the site for the first month. Reason for this is to tweak SEO (Search Engine Optimization). We will update the site will less relevant content weekly or as it gets indexed and crawled by the webbots eg. homepage fancies, BLOG, etc. To ensure the index sees some regular updated content and peak it up the ranking in <3 months (there, some SEO secret for ya all). The core material & content (the important stuff!) is LIVE however; products, listings, pics, account sign-up, order, mail tracking, etc, we have it all. Finally!

Shop with confidence

Server security: NGINX + HTTP/2 + TLS1.2. Many in the industry will agree that getting a A+ grade at SSL Labs is a great challenge. Ensuring trusted server-vs-client sessions is paramount for me and I’ve proved just that by hitting that ceiling. SSL Labs is the tool of choice to identify whether ecommerce/merchants really deserve hosting personal data. When I shop online, I always run the vendor’s domain at SSL Labs and if the rating ranks below A I simply change shop.

The physical location of the server & database is at Google Cloud (CGE-USA) and its SSD hard drive is encrypted using third party’s. Meaning even if the hard drive falls into the wrong hands, nobody can gain access to the data stored on the server without 2 (two) sets of private keys + a 128bit encryption password. Nothing, absolutely nothing is hosted in China. Public ports include only http(80), htps(443), MTA(25). And that’s it, nothing more than what’s needed.

The server is firewalled (+IDS) and only accessible using Strong VPN/SSH, again, with its own set of keys.

And that’s how it’s done. Enjoy!

Updating your images' ALT tags for a month is often just enough for the bots to pick up regular site updates (another million$ trick they don't tell you!). You want to trigger the engines' rank algorithm as much as you can, key to that is fresh content.

Without updates, the site just sits there really - AVOID during the first 3 months
