I am old school and just straight old. I remember the days of compiling Apache when the only options was to compile the extensions (mods) statically; many many moons before the world of loadable modules (for Apache or kernels or anything for that matter).</p>
<p>I know generally that Nginx is much faster at serving static content and is much more efficient because of its architecture. It is definitely an amazing piece of software and it is being used on many of the web servers that I manage.</p>
<p>What I wonder is; for a simple PHP Site (let's say a WordPress site): how well would a statically compiled Apache compare in performance to Nginx.</p>
<p>A site that gets very low traffic and efficiency and scalability is really not an issue.</p>
<p>Has anyone had any direct experience with this scenario? Is nginx still faster with fpm-php?</p>
<p>Also, I am really not trying to start a religious war about which web server is better. Like I said, I regularly use both but was just wondering if there is a perfect use case for statically built apache2 specific for a very finite specific websites.</p>

<p>My team is the business owner of a website for our company, and are ultimately responsible for the content. However, the content itself has owners throughout the company who know the topics and are responsible with making sure that the content is current and correct. Some of them have access to make edits (with approvals) to their own pages, but most do not, and submit them to us.</p>
<p>We're trying to revamp an out of date list of content owners, currently a pretty cumbersome spreadsheet.</p>
<p>My question is: How are others handling this? How do you all track owners/experts/contacts for specific content? I'd thought of also using whatever we come up with to help track needed updates and changes in one location. This would need to be something several of us could access and edit.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>...there may be scenarios where an open event is not recorded even
when the recipient opened the message in their email client, or vice
versa where you see an open event in Postmark but the recipient
reports that they never opened the message.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>&quot;There may be scenarios&quot; - <strong>what is the opportunity of this &quot;may be&quot;? Could it be presented in percentages?</strong> This percentage can only be approximate and depends on factors.</p>
<hr />
<p>Details.</p>
<p>I ask this because I want to know if there is a sense in removing the recipients who never open emails, from Marketing bulk email lists. I can't be 100% sure they don't open since there is an opportunity for a mistake.</p>
<p>For instance, I send promotional bulk emails weekly and see that a recipient hasn't opened them for 6 months. If I remove that recipient but in fact he <em>was</em> opening, it just was not recorded, we lose a potential client.</p>
<p>For me, if the opportunity of ungetting Open events is below 3%, then there <em>is</em> a sense in cleaning idle recipients, however, if the general chance of such failure is 20%+, and we often can't be sure if the recipient opens or not, there's no sense in bothering with those for me.</p>
<p>After researching on the internet and asking PostMark Support, I can share I already know that in general, it's a good practice to some degree, to remove idle recipients. For the marketing audience, if they never click a link and never buy anything, they likely do not open the emails. If my audience is more technical, it’s more likely that Open Events were hidden. If the audience is less technical, it’s less likely.</p>
<p>This question is not about delivery failures, bounces, invalid addresses, etc. This is only about successfully delivered emails.</p>

<p>I have a site that is created using the <strong>Elementor Page Builder</strong> in Wordpress. <br>
Elementor allows for us to use certain widgets such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Button Widgets (used for several button links)</li>
<li>Toggle Widgets (used for our FAQ section)</li>
</ul>
<p>Based on how the widgets have been designed, Google Lighthouse has flagged out several issues that would be penalised for SEO -- these are false positives. But we wanted to check with the community whether Google Search Engine would penalise these implementation?</p>
<p>Please find the <a href="https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-petcoach-sg/82mtikpwlp?form_factor=desktop" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PageSpeed Insights Report here!</a></p>
<h2>Button Widgets</h2>
<p>These button widgets have the html elements generated such that the href link does not have a descriptive text (from Google Lighthouse perspective). The descriptive text is in a child element of the button link, hence the button would still be meaningful for the users. Please see the screenshot below for reference:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/AIHYtE8J.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/AIHYtE8J.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<h3>Google Lighthouse Findings</h3>
<p>Google Lighthouse infers that there is no descriptive text for the button. We are note sure whether Google Search SEO ranking algorithm would infer the same (wanted some inputs from the community based on their experience here):</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/VCCS9N3t.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/VCCS9N3t.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<h2>Toggle Widgets</h2>
<p>The toggle widgets are used for our FAQ section. These are not intended to be links but the widget by default has an <code>a</code> anchor tag. Since it has an <code>a</code> anchor tag, Google Lighthouse infers these to be links.</p>
<p>Since these are not links, they are not crawl able (they do not lead anywhere). Google lighthouse flags this as an issue that will be penalised (since there are non-crawl able links).</p>
<p>See screenshot below for reference:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/xVZ5BMgi.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/xVZ5BMgi.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<h3>Google Lighthouse Findings</h3>
<p>Google lighthouse advised that non-crawl able links would be penalised:
<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/AJL3psy8.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/AJL3psy8.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<h2>Clarification</h2>
<ol>
<li>For the button link that has &quot;no text description&quot;. Would this be penalised by Google Search Engine SEO?</li>
<li>For the &quot;non-crawl able&quot; links in the FAQ section. Would this be penalised by Google Search Engine SEO?</li>
</ol>
<h2>Thank You</h2>
<p>Thanks in advance, please let me know if there are further details that I can give to assist with the above clarifications.</p>

I cannot understand what it means because that markup looks correct to me.

<p>Performing a performance analysis on my site.</p>
<p>Intending to check:</p>
<ul>
<li>PageSpeed Insights (lighthouse, lab) data</li>
<li>Real World Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX), Web Core Vitals (field) data</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Reason: CrUX data does seems inaccurate, and is presenting statistics that are worst than actual user experience</em></p>
<h2>Steps Taken</h2>
<ol>
<li>Access the <a href="https://pagespeed.web.dev/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PageSpeed Insights Console</a></li>
<li>Enter my URL and hit <code>Analyze</code></li>
<li>PageSpeed Insights (Lighthouse, Lab) data is displayed
-- However, CrUX (real user data) is not displayed</li>
</ol>
<h2>PageSpeed Insights vs Dev Tools (Discrepant)</h2>
<p>The PageInsights Lighthouse Report results is discrepant with the results found via Dev Tools. <br>
This makes it tricky for us to assess whether we should optimise the page performance further (because performance is an SEO ranking factor)</p>
<h3>PageSpeed Insights (Lighthouse) Report</h3>
<p>For example, see the screenshot from PageSpeed Insights for the largest Contentful pain downloaded -- a total of 1300ms to fully render the image:
<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/TMjiwycJ.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/TMjiwycJ.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<h2>Chrome Dev Tools Report</h2>
<p>The actual time required to download and render the same image is less than 400ms when we checked Dev Tools (we used incognito so that browser cache etc. is removed). Note that this is significantly different from the 1300ms reported in PageSpeed Insights. See screenshot below for reference:</p>
<ol>
<li>The document itself took approximately 224.43ms:
<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/zO7ROZq5.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/zO7ROZq5.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></li>
<li>Afterwhich, the image was queued at 224.88ms, and finished downloading in 64.72 ms
<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/AJTm4Xn8.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/AJTm4Xn8.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></li>
</ol>
<p>Using the above dev tools, the largest Contentful download took less than 400ms (compared to 1300ms reported in PageSpeed Insights)</p>
<h2>Issue - Unable to Access Real User Data/Report</h2>
<h3>Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX)</h3>
<p>The CrUX data is not displayed. The reason provided was that there is insufficient real-world data. Please see the screenshot below:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/kEt92Pfb.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/kEt92Pfb.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<h3>Google Search Console</h3>
<p>However, checking Google Search Console - we can see steady traffic accessing the website (the number is increasing too). See the screenshot from our Google Search Console:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/iLGZpsj8.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/iLGZpsj8.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<h3>Core Web Vitals (GSC)</h3>
<p>However, do note that Core Web Vitals within the GSC is also indicating that there is insufficient usage. Please see screenshot below:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/QsuzRNmn.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/QsuzRNmn.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<h2>Clarifications</h2>
<p>We wanted to understand from the community:</p>
<ol>
<li>Are there any other alternatives to measure page speed accurately?</li>
<li>Would you assume that the dev tools are providing results (that Google will use to rank SEO)</li>
<li>Any advise regarding why Web Core Vitals, and CrUX is not showing despite steady traffic to the site?</li>
</ol>
<h2>Thank You</h2>
<p>Thanks in advance. Let us know if there is any further information that we can furnish!</p>

<ul>
<li>The <strong>Pages</strong> table is aggregated based on the specific page (URL)</li>
<li>The <strong>Countries</strong> table is aggregated based on the property (a.k.a. the whole site)</li>
</ul>
<p>However, unable to wrap my head around:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why is there only 51 impressions when aggregating by site?</li>
<li>But there is 211 impressions when aggregating by page?</li>
</ul>
<p>Wouldn't each page impression, also translate to a site impression?</p>

Also I've read that is useful when someone tries to access the website and our server is down (it makes sense in the static pages, I guess).</p>

<p>But what they said doesn't really tell me if this has any effects on how is the website ranked, what are the benefits or if this has any negative effects.</p>

<p>I think it's clear to readers that there are ads (and thus a paid relationship) but I don't know what the Google standards are.</p>
<p>I've just looked at the search console and it there are 42 now backlinks. (Maybe because of ads on multiple pages or because the post on their site is listed under several categories? I don't know.)</p>

<p>When attempting to verify e-mail addresses, I frequently come across servers configured to &quot;catch all&quot; requests (as is the online terminology for the situation).

So I have a plan to integrate my adsense account with this site. But to avoid thin content penalty Right below the tool at every page I added a descrtion.
My structure is</p>
<p>eg:</p>
<pre><code>Title : JPG to PNG Converter
[Tool Goes Here]

JPG file format
[description 500 words]

PNG File format
[description 500 words]
</code></pre>
<hr />
<p>So when the tool change to JPG to BMP converter. Again</p>
<pre><code>JPG file format
[description 500 words]

BMP File format
[description 500 words]
</code></pre>
<p>As you can see I can comeup with many pairs. But when I do I want to consider about unique content. In here JPG file format's description should be unique. Otherwise google hit me with the duplicate penalty.
To overcome this I use chatGPT to generate those descriptions. Now everything seems different. But every page will have same type of description.</p>
<p>The whole point of using a description is to rank higher on Google. Is my approach good in SEO-wise? What can I do to stay out of trouble? Remember this is not a blog.</p>

After that I posted another link, and then all of my posts were retracted. All the posts I share are academic-y and sell nothing. I just post it in various groups (maybe too many), but still everyone likes it. Now all the shares from others (which are genuine) are gone. Since then many people has helped me appeal, but no result.</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> Is there any information (statistic, rumor) about a typical length a domain is reviewed and unbanned, especially when various active accounts report it? The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/spam" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Community Standards</a> has no helpful information.</p>
<p>Below is the message other people help me to appeal the ban:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>My domain “quảcầu.com” blocked by a mistake for the first time. This is my personal blog, its use is for my writing pleasure only. None of the articles is to sell anything. The most shared link is a resource that is always amongst the top most interacted posts in any group it is posted. Many people express that it is helpful to them, are eager to share to their friends, and are willing to help me appeal this ban. I found no malicious, no ads violating facebook’s policies, no spam on this website. Even the domain “quảcầu.com” decoded to “xn--qucu-hr5aza.com” looks like spam, unsafe to access the website but to remain my personal brand, I have to make it redirect just like that way. Please unblock my domain so I can continue running facebook ads for my personal blog. Thanks! – quảcầu.com</p>

The product page has product description and different slugs to show other relevant products too i.e.</p>

<pre><code>1) Similar bikes/cars in that budget
2) Sponsored bikes/cars related to the bike/car customer is currently viewing
3) Similar bikes/cars with better mileage
</code></pre>

<p>There are cases where the same car/bike is coming in all the above 3 categories and we end up putting 3 links from this product page to another product page.</p>

<p>Does that hurt SEO i.e. a page linking to another page several times? If yes, how can we avoid this?</p>

<p>Also, Category 2 is a subset of Category 1. We still need to have two different slugs as Category 2 i.e. Sponsored content comes on the top while the other 2 category comes relatively low on the page.</p>

<p>Do such duplicate linkages hurt SEO? If yes, can be put no follow tag on sponsored products links to avoid this SEO penalty?</p>

<p>Still there are some search engines or other services which may very well respect them. It <strong><em>might be useful</em></strong> for a local restaurant or business to use them for SEO.</p>

<p>On the other hand I wonder if there are search engines which respect geolocation data which may rank you worse if you are far away. For a local business this is probably not a problem. For the corporate website of a company or and online shop this would be very harmful. Anybody having information on this?</p>

<p>Now: A new GDPR approaches on the websphere....<br>
So now with the GDPR coming in effect next month I'm faced with a cookie law question again.</p>

<p>Since cookies are now classified as personal data there is this consent requirement that is a bit stricter. And since the fines are higher also(4% of year sales), I want a check on what is correct.</p>

<p><strong>My current hunch is:</strong></p>

<p>Store the consent in a cookie, so the site knows what the do -> The functional aspect<br>
Store the consent also serverside in a database -> The legal burden of proof aspect</p>

<p><strong>But what bothers me and I can't find anywhere is:</strong></p>

<p>Do I really need to store the consent also serverside? It does touch on the processing personal data requirement etc... which leads me to saying yes, but i'm not a lawyer nor an expert in the new cookie law.</p>

<p>What would be the wisest approach for handling these permissions?</p>

<p>Basically all requests for domain name <code>www.example.com</code> are routed through an IIS with active request routing (ARR), which then routes the request to the actual hosting server (Azure ARR). The problem is that Fetch as google (Webmaster tools), only the following portion of the page is returned:</p>

<pre><code>HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/html
Set-Cookie: ARRAffinity=93d3d6ebca814b60bcbdb0ebaf9bc4abbd10698790d350946ab6503f60b71e05;Path=/;Domain=www.example.com
X-Server: 2
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 12:16:37 GMT
</code></pre>

<p>When we bypass the IIS with ARR and forward traffic directly to the hosting environment of the www.example.com website, google fetches all the data.</p>

<p>Has anyone encountered similar problem before?</p>
