(Quote) Yes, still mainly HostMantis. Tried the 8.0 - looking good so far. Slight performance improvements, with nothing broken. But it is hectic. 7.4. seems like yesterday, yet EOL (security support only) is in two months! :) And 8.0 doesn't seem…

Anyone (or most already? :) ) tried PHP 8.0? I wanted to wait until most of the themes and plugins have been patched and tested. Now seems like a good time to try - so I did. The first test results seem fine - no problems with the themes and plugi…

If they'd been less stubborn in the 40s, now we would have had Hetzner there as well. But noooo... :)
-
LowEndSpirit is now officially approved! :) https://io.bikegremlin.com/18172/questions/ I think this is a positive, healthy community (well, at least as far as online communities go), and we should help it grow. :)

Made a video that's boring and funny at the same time. :) The story of my website redesign (hadn't known about figma.com until relatively recently): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuSXxN1OJ3w

(Quote) It does the job for each image. Unless you get it started on a website with hundreds of thousands of images, it should be able to keep running even on a large website.
-
(Quote) LiteSpeed cache plugin does image optimization too, and it does it well. The plugin is free but requires a LiteSpeed server to run properly. I usually use squoosh.app - online, before uploading.

My GT-metrix and Lighthouse scores were very good with GeneratePress using a basic design. With 200+ posts and thousands of comments and replies. After having redesigned the website, to get a nicer look easier to navigate, GT-metrix is still OK, bu…

Thanks for taking the time. I greatly appreciate your feedback. :)
-
(Quote) Cookie banners are becoming obligatory. I hate them, but it's practically become a must. I don't understand the search bar feedback. The cookie banner is present currently on both website versions and is not related to the search banner, it…
-
(Quote) That was deliberate (and took some work to get it working). :) The search is basically my main "call to action" as the marketing folks say. I prefer the cleaner look of A. But I don't take my opinion seriously when it comes to vis…

Which one do you guys prefer? Design A, or design B? Any suggestions/improvements to either?

For a bit of a laugh - BikeGremlin website redesign (still a work in progress). :)

(Quote) I was looking at their lifetime offer with those exact thoughts. Decided to wait. Edit - regarding Blocksy child CSS: https://creativethemes.com/blocksy/docs/general/child-theme/
-
(Quote) I gave Blocksy another try - while redesigning my website(s). Pros: The free version offers many options out of the box. Menus are nicely and logically sorted. Big downside (IMO): their CSS uses a lot of "!important"-s. For all I…

(Quote) The new DE server seems to be OK - better than the US server. My uptime stats.
-
(Quote) Current pricing: Even with their newest pricing, if we compare cPanel to cPanel, and DirectAdmin to other DirectAdmin hosting prices, HM prices are not outrageously expensive, especially considering the service quality, like speed and uptime…
-
(Quote) My point was that test done by that plugin doesn't reflect "real-life" performance - at least from what I could see, test and measure. I used the two providers I'm currently using the most for an example and comparison (MyW and HM)…
-
MySQL benchmark test plugin tests show MyW.pt hosting to be faster than HostMantis, especially the MySQL query test. However, GTmetrix test, and load tests simulating visitors opening and browsing web pages, show HostMantis to perform faster (MyW d…
-
Blocksy seems slower compared to GeneratePress or OceanWP - at least when looking at GTmetrix test results. It's not the worst I've seen, but compared to those other two, I'd call it "OK" in terms of speed. It may be "slick & perf…
-
@Chievo With WP, at least in my experience, CPU is the bottleneck. When editing post categories in the backend, you can get a lot of CPU load. For example, say you have 40 posts in category B, which is below category A. If you edit B to set C as i…

(Quote) For about a year now, I've switched all the websites to The SEO Framework (TSF). For a bit more details, I wrote an article comparing it with Yoast, and mentioning some other alternatives: TSF vs Yoast (long, boring, in detail, as usual :) …

And the DirectAdmin ("cPanel for the poor" :) ) version: DirectAdmin reseller hosting backup automation

Here's a working FOSS alternative tutorial: WHM Backup Solutions automated cPanel reseller hosting backups
-
(Quote) The files created with JB5 can't really be used without JB5 (talking about the automated off-site backups). To be more precise, if you are using an "SSH destination" for now they are still "normal," but that too is planne…
-
(Quote) I think the problems you're describing aren't JB5-related. For example, I have set the automated backups to work and be stored on my cloud storage (at least on Backblaze B2). I have two lifetime WHMeasyBackup licenses, but they don't seem …
