 | I agree that they *might* be AI generated, or at least have the help of AI. Sometimes it's hard to tell, and I always want to exercise extreme caution and not delete or infract a post unless I'm 100% confident. I have a bit of a migraine right now, so …  |
 | 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.  |
| | Use Cloudflare (free plan is available) and plugins such as WP Rocket or WP Engine.  |
| | It depends what you’d like to build. If a simple website, you can use HTML and CSS. Want some interactivity? Add JavaScript. Want to create more complex dynamic websites? You will need a backend language such as PHP and a database such as MySQL. I see you also tagged this … |
| | 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 … |
| | It seems as if you have to ask, you already know. ;) |
| | Official Bootstrap themes: https://themes.getbootstrap.com/product-category/admin-dashboard/ |
 | As Harry points out, my first guess would be to check robots.txt and ensure you aren't blocking any pages from SEMRush. Also make sure you aren't using a CDN or proxy like Cloudflare that is blocking it from their side. |
 | As you may know from other threads in these forums, I'm a huge supporter of Upwork. I know that they've chosen to no longer work with anyone in Russia. I believe Toptal still has a presence in Russia, so you could try there. You could also just try Googling for …  |
| | Just as the topic title suggests, any jQuery 4 beta users out there who could let me know what it's like? The wait for v4 gold release is killing me. Also, please don't make fun of me for being a jQuery user. DaniWeb has been built on jQuery for decades. … |
| | Linux has come a long way, but it's still primarily a server OS, correct? How many of you linux fanboys and girls use it as your primary operating system for daily tasks? How does it compare to Windows or macOS in terms of productivity and overall user experience? |
 | 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  |
 | Hi and welcome! What interested you in SEO initially? Do you focus more on technical SEO or off-page (backlinks, etc.)? |
 | It looks like you have 800 pages that have been successfully crawled by Google, but Google chose not to index them because it felt as if they were too low quality (or some other reason) to make it into the index. Start by reviewing the pages that are in this …  |
 | 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 … |
| | Hello, DaniWeb actually uses Bootstrap, but I don’t use any preexisting templates. How much CSS experience do you have? Are you experienced with creating HTML code that uses css classes to piece together something unique? Bootstrap also has its own template store, if I recall correctly. Also, Tailwind is a … |
| | Please help me come up with a compelling argument to convince my husband to spend an additional $200/month on AT&T Fiber Internet with 5Gbps download / 5 Gbps upload. We currently have Comcast Xfinity cable with 1.2Gbps download and something like 35 Mbps upload. Xfinity has a 2Gbps plan we … |
| | What are some best practices for optimizing memory management when working with large datasets? I am tagging this topic both with php (because that is my language of choice, and the one I work with big data with) as well as c++ (because I know DaniWeb has a large low … |
 | Usability trumps aesthetics. Always use a large, readable font size with a high contrast between the font and the background. |
| | 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 … |
 | Out of curiosity, can you explain what you don't like about Plex? |
| | 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 … |
| | Outside of PPC platforms such as Adwords or Facebook Ads, the single best way to market an ecommerce site like that is to create a blog attached to the website filled with unique, informative articles related to the products being sold. Do the sites already have blogs? Google really favors … |
| | Re: Page Speed Issue I think you might be confusing Java with Javascript. Is your website built with Javascript technologies such as Node.js? |
| | I have a two part question: How do you balance accessibility and design aesthetics when building a visually complex website? Are there any unconventional approaches that have worked for you? Secondly, do you give priority to ADA compliance in UX design? Specifically, [the WCAG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Content_Accessibility_Guidelines)? Personally, I have tried and not …  |
| | There are good and bad developers in every country. I don’t get the question. |
| | The only one I know about is Bitbucket. What is your use case? Are you looking to host public or private Git repositories? |
| | I have had good experiences with Upwork and Toptal. |
| | 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 … |
| | 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. |
The End.
