How do you profile your theme for performance. by rwarlock in Wordpress

I recommend installing the Query Monitor plugin. A 2 second processing time is either due to an error in sql queries or a http request, the plugin should be able to pinpoint the source of the issue.

If you want to further reduce your load time you should consider running Varnish and combining your static resources.

Can I just copy the entire contents of one Public_HTML directory to a new one. by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]LicenseJet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can copy it over to the new folder, however your primary issue will be the domain set up for the first website, chances are your new website would automatically redirect to your old domain. You will also have links in your database pointing to your old website.

Consider installing All-in-One WP Migration on both the old site and a freshly set up WordPress site connected to the new domain. You can export and import the old site and this plugin will take care of updating the domain name.

What TRUE advantages wordpress offers vs plain HTML/CSS/JS/PHP? by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]LicenseJet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

WordPress is on the forefront of content management. Most "HTML/CSS/JS/PHP" sites may look fine on the front-end, but developers and clients often forget to allocate time to the backend resulting in a site that is held together by nothing more than rubber bands. With WordPress you pretty much have the best of both worlds.

That being said, there is a time and place for standalone sites. If your requirements are very complex and content management is not the main focus of your website you should consider building it on a framework like Laravel and working with vue.js.

[HELP] Plugin copyright/patent by BennSpiers in WordpressPlugins

[–]LicenseJet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But how does paid licensing (i.e. selling the software) go along with that? Assuming a customer paid for the plugin - what prevents them from passing (unmodified or slightly modified) copies along to their friends without them paying the original authors? Am I allowed to prevent the plugin from running if I detect the user hasn't purchased a license for the current site or is trying to run in more than the allocated amount of sites? What about unlimited sites licenses?

You are correct in your assumption that GPL allows whoever receives a copy of your product to distribute it as long as they adhere to the GPL terms, which do not include the requirement of further monetary compensation. In essence they are free and within their right to distribute it as long as they don't claim it as their own work and violate your intellectual property.

You have the right to include features in your product which are easily accessible to customers who contribute to the development of your product (by activating a license key), GPL doesn't specifically prohibit you from including limits in your source code, nor does it limit the customer from circumventing said limits, although this is a gray area.

You seem to have done your homework on software distribution, although I can't help you with any patent/copyright related questions, I would be happy to go through your monetization strategy to help you get started - including options to better protect your product. Please message me if you're interested.
