Enforcing the use of external image sources for forum images can save a huge amount of space in the long run. Storage may be cheap, but there's no amount of memory that human stupidity can't fill up, so I'm thinking like 10 years from now. With all …

Use Serbian made, world class tool for tracking the time needed: :) https://clockify.me/ (not my project, not selling it, but can recommend it)

(Quote) I think that reseller hosting greatly reduces the probability of one site's hack/virus being spread to the other websites - if you do everything right. Which saves you hassle after it has happened (and it always happens, sooner, or later). …
-
If it's becoming a burden to you - then you need mods/admins. If not - then you don't. It's as simple as that. I don't see a problem with sharing my email with a regular forum member. Even the dicks like @Ympker @Chievo and, last, but not the lea…

(Quote) "Membership privacy policy is just like our 'members': beautiful, and short!"

I completely understand and sympathize with you. And it's been rather educational reading what it looks like "in the EU" (here they are just urging us to comply with those laws, since our government just translates EU laws with a 5-10 year…

(Quote) The older I get, the happier I am for not being a part of the EU. :) It is getting ridiculous. All with "good intentions". Suppose every website using Cloudflare (as more than just DNS) is not GDPR compliant - technically. But I …
-
(Quote) For mobile: no TOC, very short pages, with a separate paragraph for each sentence. At least that's what I see as a trend nowadays. And many people say they prefer it (I think it sucks, but wouldn't use myself as a gude for what's in).
-
(Quote) I love TOCs. For both websites, and books. Forgot: I add chapter list within 99% of my articles, but I do that "manually" (don't want to use a plugin for that, but there are, if you like, I can check on that too - found one that wo…

(Quote) Good reminder to update my plugins list page. :) This was created using List category posts plugin (free): https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/ This, on the other hand: https://bike.bikegremlin.com/reviews/tools/ is a page, …

(Quote) GDPR is a nightmare (and bullshit) IMO. :(

(Quote) I'm having problems when importing a (developed) website from MyW to HostMantis. Server just blocks the connection. Similar problems with some WP management plugins. Couldn't pinpoint the problem, but it exists. :( Just installing WP works…
-
(Quote) Smaller reseller account got a hike from 20 $ to 50 $ in 2019, and now to 200 $. However, storage space got up from 25 to 50 GB - which doesn't change a thing for me, but it's only fair to say. :) Still early to make any plans (suppose I'l…
-
My renewal price went from 100 to 600 dollars. :)
-
(Quote) Makes sense - I see how it might be tricky if you offered no email whatsoever. Haven't used (found) a shared host that doesn't offer emails, but if there was such - suppose it might make things more complicated. Having said that - I (would)…

(Quote) In the past I've used "terminal" from cPanel. Some providers offer that. I'ts not SSH, but it works wonderfully for DB migrations. Likewise, control panels have their own file managers, so any file copy/move on the server is done l…

(Quote) Suppose a caching plugin that works with Redis is the sensible option. LiteSpeed is such, there may be others.
-
(Quote) I have several (stupid) questions: How does the python script get automatically run? Can it be configured on a (shared) hosting server? If one uses Cloudflare caching, then B2 charges are not very likely to affect them?
-
Not strictly WP related, more huge-file related (not sure if it is a good option for "regular" CDN of optimized images etc. What? BackBlaze B2 storage (very cheap, and very reliable) + Clouflare caching: https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us…
-
(Quote) In software development, it is often the case that the last 10% of a project take almost as much time as the first 90%. Still, the important thing is that it's being worked on, because that way it will get done - sooner, or later. Really loo…
-
(Quote) First and foremost - thanks for reaching out. I had given up on JetBackup (and Softaculous for that matter) with DirectAdmin. They work very well on cPanel, but last time I tried on the DirectAdmin hosting I'm using, they wouldn't work. If …
-
(Quote) I mean server load stats shown using PhpSysInfo (link with the pic), or within cPanel/WHM (cPanel itself shows it to users/customers), as shown here: (Image) (Quote) Yes, caching doesn't do much for the backend. Also, when doing major cha…
-
(Quote) Have you checked server load stats? Because, everytime I check, server CPU is not even 50% loaded (unless cPanel server load info is lying). Also, for WordPress, depending on how one does the caching (and other optimizations), LiteSpeed that…

(Quote) Related to the parts of your post concerning shared (vs VPS) hosting: I would say it depends. I wrote here about VPS (vs shared). I would also add that there are good, and poor quality shared, as well as VPS providers. I've seen WP sites run…
-
(Quote) So, if I understand correctly, provided there's enough space for all the files (and backups), any extra storage does not affect performance? Another question: have you noticed any measurable performance gains from allowing WP to make multip…
-
Goes without saying, but worth noting nonetheless: good work @vyas Question(s): How does the storage size play? I.e. why 5 GB for SSD, and 2 GB for NVMe? Small WP site takes under 200 MB of storage. I did notice problems when using backup plugins…

(Quote) Couldn't get it to work properly (probably due to not still patched to work with DirectAdmin control panel).

(Quote) To quote myself? :) "Here is how to migrate from practically any SEO plugin, to practically any SEO plugin"
-
(Quote) In practice - LiteSpeed performance is very close (at least from my testing). In other words: if they both cost the same, or were both free ( :) ), I'd go with WP Rocket. Otherwise, I don't think it's worth it. Besides - LiteSpeed also does…
-
@Fritz If you are on a LiteSpeed server, think there's not much speed to be gained from WP Rocket - so in that case it's not worth it (IMO). But if not - it's probably the best (and very beginner friendly) caching solution. Here is how to migrate …

(Quote) If you take care of that latter part, she might stop complaining about the former. :)

(Quote) I wrote about my Google AdSense setup (experiment). TL/DR: no Autoads - but did test that for a while. The theme is GeneratePress. Free version. As for your other questions: * The above linked article on AdSense shows speed test compariso…

My thoughts on The SEO Framework Pro (i.e. the paid version) plugin - for SEO, what else? :) Some months after having written on the free version of TSF.
