Compressing images for webspeed

To improve your pagespeed rating, you often need to reduce the size of the images used on your website. Let’s look at a simple way to solve this problem.

1) Run the service https://pagespeed.web.dev/ and look at the first diagnostic item, which is related to images.

2) Select the links that the analysis offers and save them to your computer

3) Open any image compressor, for example https://www.iloveimg.com/compress-image and upload the pictures there

4) Start the process and after it’s done you will get an archive with compressed files, which can be downloaded manually if the download does not start automatically

5) Open the downloaded archive and replace the old pictures that are on the hosting with new ones. The exact location of the pictures can be determined by the URL from the test (see step 2)

That’s pretty much the whole process.

Upgrade to PHP 8.2: Unleash the Power of Modernization

In the dynamic world of web development, staying up-to-date with the latest technologies is crucial. PHP, the popular server-side scripting language, continues to evolve, and its latest iteration, PHP 8.2, offers a host of benefits that make upgrading from older versions a smart choice.

1. Improved Performance: PHP 8.2 introduces optimizations that make your code run faster. This means your web applications will respond more swiftly, improving user experience. The just-in-time (JIT) compiler enhancements provide significant performance boosts, making your applications more efficient and responsive.

2. Enhanced Type Safety: PHP 8.2 enhances type safety with stricter type checks and error handling. This reduces the chances of runtime errors, making your code more reliable and easier to maintain. Stronger type declarations help catch bugs earlier in the development process, leading to more robust applications.

3. New Features and Syntax: PHP 8.2 introduces new features and improvements to the language. These include enhanced pattern matching capabilities, additions to the standard library, and updated syntax for cleaner and more concise code. By embracing these features, you can write more efficient and readable code.

4. Improved Error Handling: PHP 8.2 provides better error handling mechanisms, which simplifies debugging and reduces downtime. New error handling features allow you to catch and manage errors more effectively, leading to more resilient applications that can gracefully handle unexpected situations.

5. Security Enhancements: Security is a top priority, and PHP 8.2 comes with several security improvements. By upgrading, you ensure that your applications benefit from the latest security patches, protecting your users’ data and preventing vulnerabilities that might exist in older PHP versions.

6. Compatibility: While upgrading to a new version may require some adjustments to your existing codebase, the long-term benefits outweigh the short-term effort. PHP 8.2 maintains backward compatibility where possible, but it’s essential to review your code to ensure a smooth transition.

7. Community and Support: With each new PHP version, the community grows stronger. By upgrading to PHP 8.2, you gain access to an active community of developers, extensive documentation, and ongoing support. This vibrant ecosystem ensures that you’ll have the resources you need to tackle any challenges.

Upgrading to PHP 8.2 offers a wide range of benefits that include performance improvements, enhanced type safety, new features, better error handling, increased security, compatibility, and a supportive community. Embracing the latest version ensures that your web applications remain competitive, secure, and efficient, making the switch a wise investment in the future of your development projects.

Adobe Muse CC 2015. DIY One-Pagers

In our century, companies that achieve good results almost all have their own website: business card website, corporate website, online store, or as it is now fashionable to say landing page (landing page). One-page site – a site on the page of which all the company’s material is displayed, starting with a phone number and ending with a feedback form. Now there are many platforms for creating sites such as WordPress, Joomla, Bitrix, UMI.cms, Drupal and many others. Like them, programs such as Adobe Muse CC are created. Here is what the official Wikipedia source tells us.

“Adobe Muse CC” is a graphical editor focused on creating websites, small online stores and landing pages without the need to write code, a product of Adobe Systems.
This application is available through the Adobe Creative Cloud (a suite of cross-platform subscription applications from Adobe Systems).”

The program will be of interest to everyone who starts their own business and does not want to bother much with all the knowledge in the code. That is, all actions performed in the program will be automatically translated into code, which is convenient for those who do not know the basics of html. The program has ready-made menus, simple and complex feedback forms, which makes the program even more convenient. There are also ready-made templates that you can change to fit your data and the site is ready. It’s all about the benefits of the program. Now let’s talk about the downside. The main disadvantage of a one-page site, however, like all the others, is the promotion of SEO. That is, having a full-fledged site, we can use thousands of words for promotion, but on a one-page site there can be no more than 20. Landing page is mainly aimed at contextual advertising Yandex.Direct and Google.Adwords. We will talk about contextual advertising in the following articles.
