 | Of course not. Ahrefs, Moz, etc. all have their own crawlers, and their reports are limited to the data their crawlers collect. Unfortunately, their crawlers are not able to identify what Google might like or dislike about any particular URL. Therefore, there’s no way of knowing for sure which backlinks …  |
| | I have had good experiences with Upwork and Toptal.  |
| | Do you have a specific, niche audience in mind that your content is targeting? What do you envision that audience doing with their free time? Are they students who are going to be in school from 9 am to 4 pm? Are they parents of young kids who are going … |
| | I guess I’m confused. What does choosing a mobile development company have to do with being okay if an app has push notifications? If you hire a mobile dev company, you can work with them to decide whether it makes sense for the app they build for you to have …  |
| | What's the most challenging bug you've ever encountered in your programming career, and how did you eventually solve it? I’ll start. The only one I can recall from the recent past is not realizing that you can’t use a MySQL transaction from within a persistent connection. Here’s [when I learned …  |
 | Don't forget that if you are not going with an out-of-the-box solution, such as Mailchimp, Sendgrid, etc., that you will need to clean the list on your own! That means purging bounced addresses, purging addresses that don't interact with your emails, etc.  |
| | Yes, I think AI can do a lot of PPC marketing and SEO grunt work (e.g. keyword research) that would typically be outsourced overseas.  |
| | You’re creating an array of 5 integers and then trying to access the 11th integer in the array (assuming the indexes start at 0). You’re getting an out of bounds error because you’re trying to access an array element that doesn’t exist. You can access arr[0] up through arr[4].  |
| | I use Github for DaniWeb's code base. I was just wondering though. How secure is it? Would you ever store passwords or other sensitive information in Github (Don't worry. We use .gitignore.)? What about code that could be considered a trade secret, or that type of thing? |
 | Any external link that points to your website is technically a backlink by definition. Do you mean they aren’t showing as links in Google Search Console? GSC only shows a subset of backlinks that it knows about. Additionally, quality and relevance of the links matter more than anything else. |
 | Re: Page Speed Issue I think you might be confusing Java with Javascript. Is your website built with Javascript technologies such as Node.js? |
| | Always customize based on search keywords, I suppose? Honestly, I've been out of the PPC game for a few years now. |
| | Hello, The easiest way to implement image lazy loading is by simply adding the `loading="lazy"` HTML attribute to `<img>` image tags. That will not load the image until it is about to come into view in the web browser as the user scrolls down the page. Something else that we …  |

| | I’m going to assume you’re using Auth0. Although I don’t have any Okta experience personally, the DaniWeb API is Oauth2 based, so I’m going to assume they work in a similar way. If I’m understanding you properly, you’re looking to use an access token across both an SPA app and … |
| | I just thought it would help us get to know each other a lot better if we each just gave 1-2 sentences about what we do for work. I'll start :) For the past 24 years, I have owned and written the code for DaniWeb. For the majority of that … |
| | I highly doubt anyone here would be able to sell or license to you access to their Apple developer enterprise account (mostly because it would violate their own agreement with Apple), but out of curiosity, why do you need it? The program is designed for specific use cases in which … |
| | I think they are insinuating that even though AI seems like a magic bullet solution to content writing, it’s not perfect, and its faults will be its downfall. That makes it not a good long term solution. IMHO, this is exactly correct. Every content writer and their mother are using … |
 | Considering Google BERT was integrated into Google searches 7 years ago, strategies shouldn't really be evolving and adapting nowadays. However, I get what you're saying. Traditional keyword-based techniques stopped being effective in the early 2000s. Of course, you should always prioritize content quality and user intent. https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/creating-helpful-content |
| | How on earth do you effectively program from your phone?! |
 | Eek! I’m so sorry. We upgraded our editor last week and I suppose it’s possible a bug was introduced in my code? Can you please start a new thread in the Meta DaniWeb forum explaining exactly what you were clicking on, etc. just before it crashes, along with your browser … |

| | I ran into a bit of a snag in my code, and I'm trying to make heads or tails as to whether this will work. From within my PHP script, can I write to a database using a MySQL connection in the middle of a transaction with a different connection? … |
| | Long time Salesforce user here, although I haven’t used it recently. Have you built any cool apps in Salesforce? |
| | Following up on [this topic](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/543151/show-computer-name-on-a-label) it seems as if Mr.M has been having trouble with Chrome crashing whenever he tries to type in our editor (which we just upgraded a week or two ago). > @Dani this happens when I type a longer message than it froze and crash. I … |
 | Im going to have to go against popular opinion and say that it's not always the case that practice makes perfect. I tend to only use half my brain. I'm not very artistic or musical. When I was in elementary school, I practiced the violin for hours and hours every … |
| | Yes, but you might want to also add `currency: 'GBP'`, as so: $('table#list tfoot .grand-total').text(parseFloat(grand_total).toLocaleString('en-gb', { style:'currency', currency: 'GBP', maximumFractionDigit:2 })) |

 | Good question. We have multiple web servers that are load balanced, and only 2 database servers in a master/slave setup. I know there are ways to shard the database so you could essentially put different records of a table on different servers, but I personally have no experience with that. … |
The End.
