(Quote) That's capitalism. Can't really blame them. Not my cup of tea in terms of marketing, or any kind of business (recommending what you know is not the optimal choice for the other party), but I'll never run a big company and become rich! :)
-
(Quote) What about the protection of publicly available back-end? :) Sure - some security through obscurity is possible, but if you notify 10 different contributors about the login location... You still need very good security (or add a lot more has…
-
(Quote) Never used the service - it's on my to-do list. One of the best WP developers I know, and a good man, is now working for Cloudways. I'd love having people like that on a tech-support call (especially if paying premium prices). Had an intere…

Once a "jinx-prone" colleague was on his way to fix our electrics, I phoned a friend at the fire department, who also knows the guy: "This is probably the first time you got a 'schedule' call! See, Lucky is on his way to fix our elect…

Was anyone hurt? Yes, I see they said "Everyone is safe," but that's not the same.
-
(Quote) If memory serves me, there was a fire on a building close-by. They talked about adding (or already having added) some external fire-protection plates to prevent such incidents from putting them in danger. Can't find the article neither. :(
-
(Quote) I highly value different opinions and ideas - especially when they come from experienced experts. So not disagreeing here, just... expanding? :) Correct me where I'm wrong: I suppose that website setup and maintenance is done by someone re…
-
@TigersWay & @mikho TL/DR: WordPress and Cloudflare have their downsides, but I still think they are "the least bad choice" with all the pros and cons considered. Long-winded drivel: I'm a kind of pers robot that usually sees the wo…
-
Sounds quite ambitious - planning for the future. I like it. :) While I support the idea of configuring everything so that Cloudflare can be ditched if needed, I see no point in dismissing it right now, for the sake of dismissing it. If you need a…

(Quote) Still not certain on the correct proportion (and design - colours etc). Considering small article cover images, as well as YouTube video covers - especially when viewed on mobile phones. Seriously considering making the logo take almost a 1/…
-
(Quote) Thanks for the feedback. :) What about the "logo" ("watermark")? Does it look OK? Like: a good idea to mark cover images with such a logo?
-
Did a minor home-page re-design. I think that now it's a little more informative, and a little less ugly. :) Nothing smart - just bragging. :) https://bike.bikegremlin.com/ A question, for those who aren't completely visual design-blind like I am:…

(Quote) They could do the reverse thing: * Make a website on the example.com, with a one-click Softaculous install. * Set the website to "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" in Settings -> Reading * Make just one home pa…
-
(Quote) Softaculous can do that. Most providers offer it. You can set the website to not be indexed, on a qwpvisjfosfd.example.com subdomain. Then use Softaculous to one-click clone it to www.example.com. Finally, choose the Softaculous option to m…

Is there a (simple?) way to have comments pages show only comments (perhaps with a link to the original article), without showing the full article on top, for every comment page? Pages like this one. I'd like to not have the entire article shown abo…
-
(Quote) For the back-end: press F12 - then go to the Network tab. It will show page load times (total, and for each element). For the front-end: my website speed testing method(s). I suppose others will have even better ideas, but that's what I came…
-
(Quote) Well, this is similar - only with the letters sorted alphabetically - as they should be! :) (Image)
-
Had to Google that. No, I don't think so. Just some mild CDO... :) (Image)

(Quote) My first info of Gatsby was after a WP developer who's knowledge and experience I value told me to check out the new cool thing. He really got into it - and helped organize a public workshop where an experienced Gatsby developer showed what …
-
(Quote) In a workshop in my city, an experienced Gatsby developer had a problem while demonstrating live how things are done using Gatsby, with WordPress as a back-end content creation/management tool. On a basic "hello-world-like" example…
-
I would add Publii. It creates static HTML websites, but enables relatively convenient content management (regarding it's being done for a static website). I've been using it for some "small stuff." It does a decent job in terms of code o…

Hail Mason! Get well soon Anthony.

(Quote) Security-wise, your passwords are saved on their server. And they promise it's all encrypted and they won't look into it (I have no reason to doubt them, but for the really security concerned people, I think that's a valid argument).
-
(Quote) KeePass Touch is free and works fine (on my phone at least).
-
(Quote) I use MEGA.nz and KeePass combo. Apart from one sync hiccup (not sure what exactly had caused it, but client re-install helped), it's been working fine for years - on both Linux, Windows and IOS stuff.
-
You can use one account for all the computers, and another account for all the mobile phones? Of just switch to KeePass. :)
-
(Quote) Yes, DB "cleanup" is always a good idea. Litespeed does a decent job of that too. For more thorough "operations" - WP-DBManager has worked fine for me. What's the best way to prolong, or disable the auto-saves?
-
(Quote) Never got down to writing an article on that, but WP has its pros. The ease of content update and maintenances for one. I'm yet to find a non-database driven CMS that matches that. Also - I have a few sites with about 200 posts, and about 5…
-
(Quote) WP users use of the term "static" sounds a bit confusing at times. It used to mean: pre-made, not database driven content. There are WP plugins and other ways of making WP be basically used as a back-end for creating static web pag…
-
Not strictly WP related, but it is PHP - and didn't seem sensible starting a new thread. I put this PHP code in an index.php file on a shared hosting server: <?phpdate_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');*…

(Quote) If Google Analytics is to be trusted, CF does help reduce avg. page load time (it also reduces the hosting server load to a degree). Some of my articles have 5 to 10 images (not a huge number, and the images aren't huge, but not just one or …
-
(Quote) Yes - a very good point. For Cloudflare in particular: i've measured average page load times to drop, but the page load times for visitors located near the hosting server have slightly increased. Well, unless a website is configured to serve…
-
(Quote) Using a CDN for images makes the DB smaller? Not just the files (uploads) directory? 5 $ Cloudflare package lets you use their network of edge (CDN) servers for serving both all the images, and all the cached pages. Or you could use a free …
-
(Quote) Long post. Probably pointless - but some info might be helpful, or interesting. :) Example 1 This one is served through CF - so practically all the pages are cached there. GTmetrix report, for noting any optimization errors (well, Images s…
-
(Quote) It's not that simple. :) And no - it doesn't generally (not in my opinion). In this particular case - LiteSpeed's storing of GA scripts locally seemed to have caused the problem. Had to disable that.
-
(Quote) Yes. Your suggestion got the solution. I was stuck.
-
(Quote) Will look into it. Suspecting LiteSpeed cache for now. Since a website not using LiteSpeed (plain HTML one) is looking normally. While it too is using the same Cloudflare configuration. Just dug this out. Still not sure if it makes sense, …
