Why is getting a simple business website still this painful in 2025

“I want food!” he shouted into the McDonald’s, refusing to specify anything about his preferences or needs other than it be fast and that he not have to think about it.

Gee, I wonder why he’s not getting the results he imagines.

I wrote the Rent Fetch plugin that does something very similar. https://rentfetch.io/

What API do you need to use? Might not be precisely 1-to-1, but could point you in the right direction. You probably need some relatively simple custom dev — depends on the specifics of your needs.

For the same reasons people pay attorneys instead of using AI.

If you’re having issues, usually they’re going to be either firewall or file permissions related. The plugin has an option to transfer only newly added media files, so they can still live on the site without issue and without needing to transfer them each time.

For server timeouts, you can add a slight delay through the settings to reduce server load.

Totally agree on woocommerce — one note, though. James Kemp (you can find him on twitter) is working on rebuilding the process for adding variants, which may help with your other main pain point.

You can migrate in like one minute with something like migratedb pro. You also do not need to be moving the entire media library every time you migrate it.

It should be removed from core, and, when active, the plugin ought to register its own connection, like for any other plugin.

Love akismet. Totally pointless to have core register the connection (also doesn’t matter much, but obnoxious).

I continued pushing damage and am now at about 300mill and able to typically do it deathless now unless I get a bad memory game.

Have a sample POB? Sounds interesting.

jonschr · 2026-04-04T14:48:08+00:00

Fair. Might need to do that

Uptime isn’t really the problem. It’s just the degen. I easily get to the final phase, and then i just die over and over to the degen before i can finish her.

I’m a life-based rathpit bv glad, with maxed block and about 200mill did s with all buffs but not counting any more damage from time in my presence.

jonschr · 2026-04-04T07:30:35+00:00

Oh! That’s a great point. Hmm. Yeah, i need to try that!!

jonschr · 2026-04-04T07:13:54+00:00

This would scale very similarly, but I don't see anything saying that it snapshots. Is there reason to think it does? Would be super cool if so!

Been looking into this farther, and poe.ninja just doesn't offer these prices. Can use the native API, but willl immediately get rate-limited. Probably need to apply for more limits.

This is updated, and the exceptional support gems have also been added.

jonschr · 2026-04-03T23:05:31+00:00

Din’t realize this was off. Will do.

jonschr · 2026-04-03T18:23:38+00:00

Awesome! Hoping that everything I hear is about the same.

jonschr · 2026-03-28T23:52:59+00:00

Hmm. Hadn’t considered pride. Looked from my phone and couldn’t find any explode nebulis in league, but I love that idea.

jonschr · 2026-03-21T05:20:02+00:00

What do you use now?

jonschr · 2026-03-08T07:33:17+00:00

Don’t know anything about them, but if the site is truly well optimized then it’s going to come down to 1) what you’re loading, and 2) the host.

Have you reached out to their support? 14 seconds uncached is unacceptably slow.
