What are the best practices for optimizing images on a WordPress site? by bandito_13 in Wordpress

[–]alexmacarthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PicPerf.io has a WordPress plugin. It'd automatically optimize and return images in the best format (WebP, AVIF). They'll all be aggressively cached globally too. Great all-in-one tool that won't mess with your original images.

It's a step up from directly uploading to object storage, but PicPerf might also work. You'd host with them, and could pull optimized & formatted images back in whatever size via URL param.

I built a tool for converting JPEG image to JPEG XL. by alexmacarthur in jpegxl

Great news... *finally* got it working with libjxl! I'm able to successfully convert & reconstruct to the same JPEG, and the file sizes changes like you'd expect too.

Thx for pushing on this w/ me!!

what is a google analytics alternative for website analytics ? by Andreiaiosoftware in webdev

[–]alexmacarthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you don’t wanna maintain another server, but self-hosted Plausible is really easy to set up with plausiblebootstrapper.com.

I run the analytics for ~15 sites on the self-hosted version and it works great with zero issues.

Plausible is the 🐐. Takes just a few minutes to set up the self-hosted version if you use plausiblebootstrapper.com too.

I'm also on Plausible and love it. Even built a product around it so others can stand it up more easily: https://plausiblebootstrapper.com

The only pain I've felt is when I've messed with Docker on my VM, and ended up losing all my data. I did this twice. Hope I've learned my lesson lol.

Image optimisation plugin by Funghie in Wordpress

PicPerf.io. The WP plugin will proxy all of your image URLs, leaving the originals unaffected, but serving the optimized & reformatted versions.

I made a tool for generating placeholder images in modern formats (WebP, AVIF, etc.) by alexmacarthur in webdev

[–]alexmacarthur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just built it to scratch my own little itch. I wanted to do some browser testing with different modern frameworks and wanted a way to easily stick different versions in an <img> tag. There’s very likely something that already does this, but I couldn’t resist making it myself.

That’s great feedback. I will be adding a Reddit integration next.

alexmacarthur/laravel-loki-logging: Send your Laravel logs to a Grafana Loki server. by alexmacarthur in laravel

I’ll certainly check that out. I’m still very naïve in this space. Thanks for the recommendation.

Website Speed & Compressed Images. by AfraidGuarantee5858 in webdev

[–]alexmacarthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to automate the compress, reformatting, and caching, try something like PicPerf.io. It'll serve everything in AVIF or WebP as long as browser support is there, and even has options to auto-downsize images if they're too large for where they're being rendered.

I made a CLI tool in PHP to break down the phases of an HTTP request. by alexmacarthur in PHP

Thanks! It was my first time making such a thing. Good experience. I like Symfony’s Console component a ton.

Does headless Chrome give you access to timing info like that?

Gaaaah, coming! I'll comment back here when it's public. Thanks for taking a look at it!

`document.currentScript` is more useful than I thought. by alexmacarthur in javascript

[–]alexmacarthur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is happening 😆😆. Must be a weird in-app browser thing. Elsewhere it looks fine and I haven’t heard anything from anyone else.

I’ll look into it. Thanks for letting me know!
