(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, …
-
(Quote) Hmmm. Strange. I just checked. Cleared cache, and all: <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-64 .... and so on Looks identical (apart from the exact tracking code number) to the non WP (plain HTML) websit…

(Quote) As for the GP: They used to sell for about 50$, with discount for renewal (ending up at 30$). I thought about it, and thought: "Oh, well - it's not too bad, if I ever need it, I'll pay." Never needed anything that couldn't be solve…
-
(Quote) That annoying guy who just "steps" into the conversation: =) GeneratePress is like most other themes available on wp.org: You get the basic functionality for free, but you need to pay for having all the available options using j…
-
Hmm - noticed a strange thing - seems to have started about 10 days ago, and is domain-wide: All the websites on my domain (bikegremlin.com) show basically zero visitors in Google Analytics, since the start of this February. Hadn't changed anythin…
-
KeePass comes to mind: https://keepass.info/ If anyone thinks it's a bad idea, please correct me.
-
(Quote) My (subjective) impression: While it was on a US server, my connection to it was noticeably slower, compared to the UK server based website version in my native (identical in terms of everything, but language). Now that it's been moved, whe…
-
I've moved my cycling website to a UK server. Any chance of US/Canada, and Australia based guys to click on a few pages and let me know if it has any problems loading? Don't really care about split-seconds, as long as it loads "normally,"…
-
From what I could tell, when using Cloudflare, you can't get the server's IP, even when you are redirected to domain.com/cpanel. Of course, whm.domain.com, cpanel.domain.com etc. are disabled (aren't resolved through DNS), and mail.domain.com is no…
-
(Quote) How much of a "hacking" risk does leaving those available pose? A friend got warned about these for their website, and asked me if it could be blocked somehow. I suppose a good, strong password, with any decent provider (that bloc…
-
(Quote) Yes - .htaccess from user's cPanel account doesn't help. Is that a normal thing to ask the provider? Can it be done on a per-customer level? I would expect it to require a server restart at least.
-
They want more money. Makes sense. :) I've made a step-by-step tutorial for website cloning, or migration, using the free version of the All-in-One WP Migration plugin: https://io.bikegremlin.com/19100/all-in-one-wp-migration/ @Ympker came up with…
-
From what I could tell, Windscribe offers a port-forwarding configuration for their dedicated IP. And they allow the use of multiple devices, which is convenient for me, at times. Without using any discounts, it costs 4$ per month (regular price) -…

(Quote) Inline CSS leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side...
-
(Quote) Good points, and worth stressing. Yes, even all those tools won't make you a good content writer. But they can help. Especially with the technical stuff. SEO plugins, for example, can do the basic checks: are the keywords added to the title,…

AIO was very limited in its free version when I last tried it - but that was 6 years ago, so take this with a bucket of salt. Pro version was praised by some developers I consider to be very good. I've given up on Yoast since their indexables blund…

For nonsense stuff, I use one nonsense Gmail account (that I log into once in a few months and delete everything).

(Quote) I passed with a Serbian address (and all the other data - like phone etc.), in spite of using a "foreign IP address" through a VPN. Maybe just lucky? :astonished:
