    How Many of You Are Using The Volume/Spray and Pray Method?

    +1 on everything @Ryuzaki said. If you see a lot of people doing this, there must be a reason behind it. Need more proof? go to yeys.com, the same strategy.

    Gorgeous color, and it looks very stable. Are you gonna pick the standing desk route?

    Should I use a basic stock Wordpress Theme until I start to succeed and then use a nice one?

    I would use a basic theme and tweak it to the bare minimum. Just enough to not to look spammy and later on, I would improve it to give the site a more brandable image. Regarding the last updated date on the posts, I use it on my only site but I have not seeing any real benefits since it’s more...

    How to fix Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) on mobile?

    Basically what they already told you to improve. Better hosting, use a CDN, compress your assets and maybe tweak your CSS. This is what the official documentation recommends.

    Wordpress to form a "Speed Team" for Core Web Vitals as they fall behind Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and others.

    That's a great proposal, much needed, and definitely appreciated by all the WP user base. However, I think the real performance issues are not directly related to the WP core. Just like @Ryuzaki mentioned: bad hosting, poorly written code (frontend and backend), unoptimized assets and a whole...

    Am I hurting myself by using a React (NextJS) Implementation over Wordpress?

    Yeah, pretty much the integration part. I don't want to go too deep into Next just to find out that integration is not supported. I'm using headless WP to power a site of mine and it works wonders. If you go the SSG path, hosting is pretty cheap, performance is awesome, and security is awesome...

    Am I hurting myself by using a React (NextJS) Implementation over Wordpress?

    Next.js is way better when it comes to DX and performance in general. I have several sites built with NextJS and it’s a joy to work on them. However, when it comes to building sites for ranking it’s different. I’ve read posts where people is having issues integrating AdSense/eZoic/MediaVine, or...

    Programming Knowledge & Tech Stack

    For me it depends. For basic sites which little or no dynamism required then JAMstack is my option. Since I’m a Fullstack engineer, I really have a strong preference for frameworks like React or Vue. I kind of cringe when I see Frontend created with PHP but that’s how it was and that’s how I...

    Post Your Battlestation [2020 Edition]

    I've been looking for a good chair and I've narrowed down my options to either a Steelcase Leap or a Herman Miller Aeron; both are quite expensive but I've read that they really offer a good lumbar support and they are really comfy. The embody looks totally amazing but it exceeds my budget...

    Fed up of Macbook Pro

    Open Activity Monitor and see what’s taking all your resources. What about the free space? If you’re low you could have performance issues. Try tuning a maintenance app like Onyx or Clean My Mac

    Post Your Battlestation [2020 Edition]

    Wow. What a nice setup. I’m thinking about switching to an ultra wide, currently using 2 27”. What about the embody? For the first time I’m thinking about buying an ergo chair and I’m deciding between the Areron and a Steelcase Leap.

    New or expired domain for site?

    I was asking the same. I don't have like $1k to drop on a pro domain right now, so I'll try to snatch a cheaper one and see how it goes.

    what's your morning schedule like?

    9:30 am - Wake up and prepare to join the daily standup at around 10pm 10:30 am - Take a shower 10:40 - 11:00 am - Prepare for work, get my things ready for the day 11:00 am - Head to work I feel that I'm wasting valuable time in the morning.

    Choosing a path to follow in the digital marketing world

    It took me several years to accept that. And it applies for every situation in life. Loved the phrase you shared.

    Choosing a path to follow in the digital marketing world

    Wow, thanks for all the responses guys That's something that I've wanted to do for a long long time, however I've failed because I haven't even tried. Once I tried to create a service for automatic reporting (think of ahrefs/SEMRush) for some clients. Unfortunately my local market is flooded...

    Choosing a path to follow in the digital marketing world

    I'm opening this thread because I feel a little bit lost; I know what I want but right now I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the information and the possibilities out there. A brief background about me I'm a professional web developer, living in a 3rd world country. I have a good job and I can't...
