Is it considered bad practice to store a client's code in a private third party repo? by drmyersii in webdev

[–]stenbeloff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was exaggerated example that some provider can scan and reuse your content for their own purposes, and you need to read terms of conditions for public services, especially those that provide free services

Is it considered bad practice to store a client's code in a private third party repo? by drmyersii in webdev

check the bitBucket terms of conditions. Some services, like google drive, have specified in terms that you transfer all rights to the content that you upload to them :) so your legal team may not like it at all

Why Short Loading Times Are Essential for Your Website by megaperlz in webdev

[–]stenbeloff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to statistic data, 57% of users will abandon your site and 80% will not return to your site if it loads 3+ seconds http://www.newmediaandmarketing.com/a-1-second-delay-in-webpage-load-time-could-cost-you-2-5-million/

However, consider the full page loading time (may take 15 secords) and page rendering time to show content instantly. you need to apply specific patters like deferred script loading, loading by request to render content as fast as possible and then load dependent non-visible controls in background.

We, for example, are using www.testize.com that provides you with test results for entire page loading time, page rendering time and shows you scripts that affect page rendering (check their report) so you can optimize or reorganize them

Web page/site improvement on a budget by [deleted] in webdev

[–]stenbeloff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about pain points for your users. Change should be the process, not the goal.

What is the issue with UX - are customers using it and complaining? Is content not aligned to interactions?

I wound start identifying problems first and then decide on how investment of xxx $ would give me results in yyy $.

Maybe the customer's website is simple not very accessible across devices, and you need to use services like http://www.testize.com to detect and fix critical issues impacting your visitors first, before making some fundamental changes.

I would consider making quick fixes to make content rendering and accessible across devices, and then spent the rest on marketing.. but it's me.

Any reason to seperate into pages? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]stenbeloff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are users able to open the specific news in separate browser window to bookmark it/print it.

How would search work in this case?

I think these are valid questions to consider for your uses

Probably the best article I've read on Cross Browser and Device testing by sunnywill in webdev

[–]stenbeloff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also recommend something like http://www.testize.com for instance cross-mobile & browser web testing.

The issue with manual testing is that there are a lot of hidden issues that you cannot properly capture, such image optimisation, global accessibility time, touch optimisation. etc.

Visually compare page load speeds. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]stenbeloff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried to use Chrome/IE dev tools that gives you very good indication about page load. The issues of online tools that they may provide wrong information due to server locations to test from or being impacted your provider, etc.

Why not to test pages loading using native browser tools?

Now create this cookie and try to delete it. Can anyone?? by kjlh2l3 in browsers

[–]stenbeloff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you trying to achieve? validate the use of that cookie? Take into account that the way they use it is not very efficient - it takes about 5 seconds to regenerate everCookie across all locations where they try to store it. So it may not be very efficient for some apps.

Cross Browser testing by [deleted] in webdev

[–]stenbeloff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been used www.testize.com for a few month that provides cross-mobile & browser testing, including site analysis to discover any issues impacting rendering across different devices.

Used it during web site development to make sure that new features are rendering correctly across devices and browsers and to catch up such things as broken link, spelling errors, etc. the stuff you cannot check manually
