Well - Divi seems to still be relying on shortcodes. When you remove Elementor (for whatever reason), you get the basic of the layout still existing. When you remove Divi - you just get [divi-shortcode-xyz fsdljkfalkjsdfkljsadfklsdjafklsdjfkljsdflksdjflkčsdfkljfsdfds] That's something to consider. Especially if you build a…

A simple search-replace can fix the nofollow problem - unless Google starts penalizing links that have "nofollow sponsored sponsored" - if you already have some links with "nofollow sponsored," and some with just the "nofollow." But that too can be fixed with another search-replace. :) My websites are full of "ordinary"…
-
Yes, quite strange to not allow custom link tags for buttons. Though, I'd bet a beer that adding "nofollow" (which is possible) will be enough as far as Google is concerned - if an affiliate/paid promotion link has to be done via a button. What other SEO related problems did you have? What other optimization related…

For me at least, when making a page with very few elements, it is easy to get very high scores. What makes the difference between various page builders is how they score when you put more bells & whistles on a page/site. Just as important: Performance with real, and simulated real visitors, on a "basic hosting account."…

Keep the $7 one: because it's more expensive, and you don't need it! :)
-
Yes - you just get a pleasant surprise if a lifetime ends up saving more than 50% compared to paying yearly renewals. Also - for me, it is great not having to think about yearly renewals. Not just for the money-saving reasons, but for "did the payment go through, when's the next payment for which service..." etc. Right now…
-
IMO - nothing is unlimited and "lifetime" as in "your lifetime." I always calculate it as a more-less risky investment, expecting for the product to be useful long enough for the "lifetime" to end up costing less than the X yearly renewal prices it costs. As for the pricing - I have never raced to the bottom. Being too…

@Ympker - what @vyas said: I see the 500 website limit as: "we give you a practically unlimited number of websites, but don't want the whole Serbia/India/whatever community to be working using only one license." That's what it boils down to. Once I've built 400 websites, with a monthly maintenance fee (don't use my license…

Those lifetimes, especially with products that have been in the market for over 7 years and seem likely to stay & survive, are quite tempting. Have you played with GeneratePress Pro? It gives a ton of options with a quite decent code, compared to Elementor and Elementor Pro (haven't tried Divi). Another upside is that it…
-
Not arguing - the questions aren't rhetorical, but intended to confirm & clarify: Does that make Amazon cloud (unless restricted server locations are used) and Gmail for that matter (if emails with any data/info are saved) not GDPR compliant? Linkedin, Facebook, YouTube - do they only store EU customer data on EU located…
-
I get conflicting feedback from the "GDPR compliance lawyer" - the problem is, for now, most feedback comes through the client. Anyway - got their answer on Google - practically saying it's an evil monster. OK, we all know that, but I thought my job was to implement what works in compliance with GDPR. With this line of…
-
I could go on and on why GDPR, especially the way it's practically enforced, is crap. But this is a project that must be 100% GDPR compliant, and include a website and a mailing list. @vyas maybe a forum must allow any member to request having all their posts & data deleted in order to be GDPR compliant. If that is the…

I'd look for which one is better supported & more stable. If they're similar, then: If the price of a decent CPU + MTB + RAM is lower with Intel, I'd get Intel - and vice-versa if the tips are in AMD's favour.
-
That way of resource limiting is a rather rare exception. For all I could tell - the limits are per DirectAdmin (sub)account, not per the whole reseller account in total.
-
Please expand - perhaps best in a separate topic (even just some beginner/idiot-friendly links explaining the basics would be welcome as far as I'm concerned).
-
Thanks. :) can... not... resist! :)
-
I enjoy writing so I made a "personal blog." Unlike my other, more technically inclined websites, where I do my best to post objective and verifiable info, this one is more artistic a mess. :) https://blog.bikegremlin.com/
-
Thanks. I have tried that plugin. It had some hiccups. Fine most of the time, but not all the time. Didn't write down the exact problems (sorry), but I know for sure that I removed that plugin eventually. To be fair: It did work perfectly fine for about a whole year. And the problems could have been caused by some other…
-
Noted. Though, I haven't had these problems since mid-2019, tested with several different providers. I did have them on occasion before that. Thinking out loud: On the upside - "Full (strict)" will show an error if an untrusted cert is installed on the hosting server. I think that's good for the visitor's security (not…
-
Related to hosting - I think it makes sense to check and ask before jumping in. Less headache for everyone involved. ... So, you've been with a woman? What's it like? :)
-
No problems with that (a legal warrant coming in). Is that what's understood when it's said "claims"?
-
Yes, that is probably the most commonly used trick that doesn't take much to implement (using a subdomain that matches the target's domain). I actually wrote about that "trick" - and other "popular" methods here: https://io.bikegremlin.com/15447/email-security/ (any additions & corrections are welcome)
-
Does DMARC help (additionally)? It is my understanding that SPF + DKIM + DMARC is as good as you can get in order to prevent reduce (make more difficult) phishing/email address spoofing. When I hear of an organization (like a bank or similar) warning customers of phishing attacks, I check their email records and they most…
-
OP said: "just a missing DMARC (but i honestly don't know where i'd send that)" Could it be that DMARC was not set to strictly drop any emails that don't pass either SPF, or DKIM? That would make this kind of mess much easier, no?
-
To quote myself (hoping to be corrected if I'm wrong): Third record contains DMARC settings (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance). What is this? To put it simply, DMARC can be set to tell all the email servers: “If an email fails either SPF, or DKIM validation, disregard it, it is probably someone…

I'll ask THEM to sponsor any future (Windscribe) VPN videos... :)
-
Me too. :) I find articles (with screnshots when it matters) a lot more efficient. Still, some people prefer to have things demonstrated, i.e. "show me how that's done." It certainly does no harm to add a video to an article - for those who prefer to watch and listen. Perhaps psychologists could explain why.
-
I had sent the article (and my config file) to LiteSpeed, suggesting they offer official pre-set config files for various standard setups (like WooCommerce+Elementor, no page builder websites, AMP websites etc.) for download from their servers (safer and more trustworthy than dowloading stuff from files.bikegremlin.com :)…
-
Yes - it seems all are in use. Even for a newly created DirectAdmin account, or a manually migrated cPanel account (so only files from public_html and a database export were "copied").
-
@sonic - here it is (better late than never :) ). What's worked well for me so far. Any additions, improvements, and especially corrections are more than welcome. How to configure LiteSpeed WordPress cache?
-
I can't praise MXroute enough - really happy with the service. As for the TOS - I read it carefully, in order to act in good faith. I.e. I know what I need & want, and wish to see if the provider is willing to provide that - and at which price. The best I can do is check, test and see. But if something seems off right from…
-
Took a look at Brixly. On paper - prices and services offered look very good. But I really don't like this sentence from their TOS: "We have the right to disclose your identity to any third party that claims that any content posted or submitted by you in relation to the Website infringes their intellectual property rights…
-
I think this is intended for an "average 'merican." Out of the box, comes with their phone. In those terms, it's hard to beat by any competition (wish I were wrong).
-
I'm using Windscribe for the computer - and it's very good. But this does look like a move that might take the business away from many other companies. They've included several more services options for the customers: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212610?cid=mc-ols-icloud-article_ht212610-email-09282021 The big ones…

They also bought Yoast SEO in August this year (my EIG article)

Like my files the other day, my faith in JetBackup has been restored. :)

Mining's never been where the profits are made. When you calculate the costs in time, equipment, electricity and the potential profit gains by investing that elsewhere. Buying (at a price that you are convinced with enough probability that will be "low" when you sell), then selling is where the profits are made. Even…
