 | > Been coming on daniweb for 20 years, was always such a great place for help and advice. Last time I visited was 4-5 years ago and I noticed then it was getting quieter. Somewhat sorry to see the state of things now, these "most recent" threads are all so …  |
 | Is the Apple Vision Pro worth it if I already have an Oculus Quest? I'm not a big gamer, but I have my entire wedding recorded in VR, and I love watching mini-movies and shows in 3D VR. My husband is into things like Red Matter. I honestly don't remember … |
 | Reminds me of the decision to pack up and move from New York to California. Best decision I've ever made. |
 | I checked out your website and notice you're using the particles javascript at the bottom of the page. Many, many years ago, we used to use that as well, until we discovered it was causing some people's web browsers to crash, and for others, made the webpage unresponsive for users … |
 | That sounds really interesting. Did you ever launch the SDK? I am a bit in the same boat as you as DaniWeb Connect has an API but I have been really struggling getting it adopted. Sorry I can't be more help to you directly. |
| | Better late than never! Thanks for your post. It looks like it's really helped a few people already. |
| | A friend in the SEO industry (Jim Boykin) used to have a Delorean he bought off of EBay with the license plate TIMECAR. He’s since sold it, unfortunately. |
| | > Presumably bumping every "coinflip" post to spam their URL Nothing wrong with that!! I'll take a trillion helpful posts if all someone wants in exchange is a free signature link back to their website (that only shows up for logged in members, so no SEO incentive). |
| | Use Cloudflare (free plan is available) and plugins such as WP Rocket or WP Engine. |
| | It has to do with the type of website that is trying to gain traffic. However, for the most part, content sites are pretty frustrated that AI bots are scraping all of their content and then using it to directly answer a searcher's question, without the searcher ever having to … |
| | As you may know, yuo can customize the error pages in Cloudflare, such as for a WAF block, etc. For some reason, since the switchover to the new error pages dashboard, the custom font I always use isn't working. I can see that it converted https://cdn.daniweb.com/font.woff into inline base64 for … |

| | Starting a digital marketing/SEO agency is really tough these days because there are just sooooo many of them. What about your stands out? Play to your strengths. Choose a niche and focus on that. For example, be the absolute *best* SEO agency for car dealerships. (Just a random industry.) Reach … |
| | * Microsoft Office (for macOS) And then to manage DaniWeb: * PhpStorm * Remote Desktop Manager * Viscosity * Screaming Frog SEO Spider |

 | 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.  |
| | I do realize that backlinks to URLs disallowed via robots.txt do still have whatever Google's modern version of pagerank is. Depending upon how many incoming backlinks there are, even if Google can't crawl a URL, it might use those external signals to still rank the URL in the search results …  |
 | Ugh, I'm so sorry that happened. I've had that happen with two different external hard drives over the years ... both were LaCie drives from a very long time ago. Unfortunately, I never took any steps to try to recover them, and lost the data on them at the time. … |
| | 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. … |
 | It’s because you are spamming your links like you did just here, and I removed it for violating our community rules. |
| | 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 personally not familiar with Android development, but I'm sure there is app storage. https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage |
 | 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 … |
| | 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 … |
 | 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. |
| | 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 … |
| | 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 … |
The End.
