    Massive attack against 1.6 million WordPress sites underway

    This is why it's better to use a proper CMS. October CMS, Winter CMS are a couple of excellent Laravel based solutions - free caching plugins that won't get your site destroyed too :)

    Blog post translations

    Wondering how many of us translate blogs posts. I don't, because I can be quite lazy and some browsers translate on demand. Is it worth it to start? Is it a lot of effort or is there some sort of magic plugin to make it happen in the background?

    What's so great about WordPress?

    I guess by awkward I probably mean soul destroying and painful. It's a mess, or at least it was. Having said that, on the user side it just worked and that's why it's popular IMHO. The security stuff alone is enough to make me stay away on its own, though. I think the caching plugins are...

    What's so great about WordPress?

    Sounds like being easy and well known is the prevailing reason which I did expect. I use a Laravel CMS (not promoting or linking) which is great at being a CMS (pages) but not so great with posts. I'm working on something to fill the void which I'll talk about when I'm finished and have jr VIP...

    What's so great about WordPress?

    So I've been wondering what it is that makes WordPress the goto choice for people setting up a new site/blog. Personally, I don't use it because it's awkward to develop for. What do you like or hate about it? Or what do you use instead?

    How to make your site load like a Rocket

    Unless you genuinely do have dynamic content, i.e. it changes on every page view or e-commerce, just use a cgi cache, exclude the backend and invalidate when you add new content. PHP won't run at all after serving the first instance of a page and you'll effectively have a dynamically generated...

    How did facebook differ from other Social Media and got No.1?

    They realised that everyone online was using a handle. We were all online but somewhat anonymous and not connected to people we knew. Sold it to me that way. Took years to realise it's actually very bad for mental health to see the best snapshots of everyone else's life. Not a fan anymore.

    Is Matched Betting Is Still Viable In 2019?

    I've done it a bit but quickly moved on to writing bots to trade on the exchange. Matched betting does work, it's pretty much risk free as long as you avoid backing at prices bookies will claim to be palpable errors but it's boring AF. Advice above is solid about arbs and applies to MB too; the...

    What hosting for ecommerce wordpress site?

    You could do this on a $5 digitalocean droplet. Assuming you have an 8 hour busy period per day it's only 4 visits per minute. You will want to enable caching to keep your PHP load down and handle traffic spikes. Obviously you can spend more if you want so maybe pay for a decent CDN and maybe...

    Symbols in the end of the URL - 404 or 301?

    It should be a 404 unless it's something that you previously had as an active page with inbound links and/or traffic

    Just registered this domain.

    The trouble you have in sharing domain names that you register is that you invite other people to copy exactly what you do. You may also leave a footprint to help identify any other sites you own now and in the future. That can be a problem so it's better to avoid being too specific. Also...

    how https (SSL certificates) helps in website seo ?

    It's helped some of mine but I tanked for about 5 weeks prior to picking up. I exclusively use SSL now because there's no reason not to. It's free if you want and you don't have to worry about switching over later as it becomes more important. Also, browsers will make your site out to be shady...

    REDBUBBLE BANNED ME

    Get a VPS and install your own VPN. Fewer issues but also limited usually to one or two IP addresses. YMMV.

    Blocking Majestic and other bots

    You can deny through robots.txt but it's a footprint and might look PBNish Your best bet is to block via htaccess (or httpd main config) on known IP address ranges for unwanted crawlers. I wouldn't even block on the user agent or anything else that's spoofable. Yes I'm paranoid and I don't even...
