I use Chrome, although I admit that Firefox has a good number of advanced plugins beyond the well-known Firebug and Webmaster Tools.
Of course not. Ahrefs, Moz, etc. all have their own crawlers, and their reports are limited to the data their crawlers collect. Unfortunately, their crawlers are not able to identify what Google might like or dislike about any particular URL. Therefore, there’s no way of knowing for sure which backlinks …
I think astrology is a huge part of Indian culture.
I'm not sure what you mean by nested if conditions. Why do you have a need to write nested ifs (unless it's because that's what your teacher is asking for?) Can you give us a little more information as to what you want your calculator to do, as well as …
DaniWeb doesn’t have a marketplace anymore, but I think your question is much better served on one of those marketplace websites that matches entrepreneurs to partners. You can also try DaniWeb Connect at https://www.daniweb.com/connect/ It’s like Tinder for Business.
Does the PDF have data in tabular format? You might have better luck opening it in Microsoft Word.
As rproffitt says, different forms of advertising perform very differently totally depending on what is being promoted as well as the target audience.
Hello and welcome to DaniWeb! If you *do* want to chat about SEO, I’m your gal! ;)
I’m going to assume you’re using Auth0. Although I don’t have any Okta experience personally, the DaniWeb API is Oauth2 based, so I’m going to assume they work in a similar way. If I’m understanding you properly, you’re looking to use an access token across both an SPA app and …
That sounds really interesting. Did you ever launch the SDK? I am a bit in the same boat as you as DaniWeb Connect has an API but I have been really struggling getting it adopted. Sorry I can't be more help to you directly.
This isn’t my forte, but I would never auto play a video that includes sound. Also, depending on the design, I would lazy load the video with a static placeholder showing while the video is loading.
I'd like to continue the conversation about Dani AI [going on over here](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/540350/any-iast-tool-to-recommend) without hijacking a tech question. So, without further ado ... > -1 for the Dani AI content. Why downvote someone for asking a question 2 years ago that has had Dani AI added to it 1 month …
What you are describing seems like a CSS or Javascript issue (most likely CSS). It's possible that there is a bug in the server-side code that is serving the wrong CSS files to you for some reason (it could be based on IP address, geographic location, browser user-agent, logged in …
AI is just in its infancy, and right now everyone and their mother is using it to quickly get access to information online more efficiently than a Google search, and generate articles and content for the web. A lot of companies are also switching to AI agents to power customer …
Not a whole ton of freelance consulting experience here, but enough to quote, “Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen.” -- Edward V. Berard
Why not just focus entirely on your food business and partner with Instacart to make your products easily accessible via online shopping?
Here at DaniWeb, we use headless Chrome to create browser screenshots. I make requests from PHP like this: @shell_exec('timeout 15s /usr/bin/google-chrome --headless ...
There's a huge price difference between hosting packages and managed hosting packages, so this is definitely something to take into consideration when selecting a hosting provider. I would say the answer depends on how technical you are and how mission critical the website(s) you're looking to host are. For example, …
Looks like the domain is parked with GoDaddy. Another programming site gone, unfortunately. The display ad-driven business model just doesn't work anymore in the current web landscape, and too many sites, DaniWeb included, have had a difficult time pivoting.
There are a lot of reviews online about both, and both have pretty negative reviews. **Always, always use an ESP that has warmed up e-mail addresses!** It’s going to cost you quite a bit more, but this isn’t a place where you can go the cheap route. Use a reputable …
Hi everyone! Long time, no chat. I know I've been gone from here for a long time now. My health has been pretty poor. I've been very, very drowsy and it's been difficult to sit in front of the computer screen. However, I've been in a lot less pain (aka …
Use a CDN like Cloudflare. Don't use too many third-party plug-ins. They always slow down a site and create bloat. Use Google PageSpeed Insights, WebPageTest.org, and GTMetrix.
Hi Ryan! Welcome to DaniWeb. :) Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?
Out of curiosity, can you explain what you don't like about Plex?
As [you can see here](https://www.daniweb.com/stats/members?country=&filter=&sort=timestamp), we get lots of new members signing up every day, but nearly no one posts. This has been true for decades and decades now. Anyone care to hypothesize why all these people sign up if not to contribute? #Lurker
I think you're referring to physical memory (hard drive space) and not random access memory (RAM). Using up all your hdd space can make your phone go slower. RAM is transient and is just the memory the apps you currently have open at the time are using. The amount of …
Currently the thing I hate most about TV shows is how much time elapses between seasons. I feel like I've been waiting for season 2 of Severance on AppleTV for *forever*! (It's been over 2 years already since season 1 debuted.) Speaking of that, is there ever going to be …
Hi there Mike :) Welcome to DaniWeb. Don't mind Alexline ... sometimes newbies don't know / understand proper forum etiquette so we give them a little extra slack as long as it shows they are trying to be courteous and trying.
> YEARWEEK(NOW(), 1) returns a number of the current week. It looks like they're trying to see if the week of $givenDate is the same as the current week of the year.
I know Cloudflare has functionality to block AI bots. However, I heard something about them charging AI bots for access and then passing that money off to the website. Has anyone else heard of this before?
If that’s your thing, there’s nothing illegal or wrong with porn. Lots of people watch it, right? A porn website is definitely on the seedier side of the web, but there’s a lot of money in it and it’s completely legal income. I know a handful of different people, some …
I know that Google has a few alternatives such as Bing and DuckDuckGo, among others. However, back when I first got into SEO, there were a dozen search engines: GoTo.com, Yahoo!, Excite, Lycos, etc. They each brought a decent amount of traffic. Why is it that Google has become such …
How are publishers able to earn money in this new world of AI? I've been thinking a lot about whether to block AI training bots recently, and I've finally pulled the trigger. I'm sure it's too late, as most training has already happened in 2023-2024, but better late than never, …
Hello and welcome to DaniWeb!! What type of software developer are you? What types of things to you build? Languages of choice?
IMHO, the AEO is a subset of what you should already be doing for SEO. You should already be using structured data for Google. Now LLMs can benefit from it as well.
A friend in the SEO industry (Jim Boykin) used to have a Delorean he bought off of EBay with the license plate TIMECAR. He’s since sold it, unfortunately.
I wish I had the answer to that billion dollar question!! It used to be links in blog posts, but now that most blog posts are low quality AI-generated garbage, links within them aren't worth very much since Google understands those articles are churned out without real expertise or a …
I don't protect my online presence at all. My email is listed on DaniWeb's contact page, and I have never taken effort to use javascript to obfuscate it. I guess I just assume it's already been out there for so long, and I've always included it in media kits, biz …
Aside from all the tinkering and learning I did as a self-taught elementary school student in the 1980s, the first real fully-functioning app I've ever programmed from soup to nuts was a Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing clone in Visual Basic 6. I was in middle school at the time and …
How on earth do you effectively program from your phone?!
As publishers, we are *required* to share our content with Google AI if we want to be included in Google search results, and it would be an utter death sentence to not be in Google. We might as well figure out a way to get some traffic out of it. …
Are you referring to an Uber or Lyft clone that only dispatches from your local cab company? If so, what would the benefits of someone using the app over Uber, for example? It’s not always the case that “if you build it, they will come.” Sometimes, it makes more sense …
Hello, As a public service announcement, test your home for radon. Radon enters through the ground and is radioactive and high levels of radon are the leading cause of non-smoking lung cancer. Unfortunately, not many people know they need to get their home tested. (We didn't!) We recently found that …
A spammer recently bumped this thread and I started typing out a reply before I realized that it was someone who just copied/pasted an earlier post (which I'm going to delete just as soon as I finish typing this). I already had stuff typed out, so for anyone who still …
My husband has been with Apple ever since college. Over the years, he's developed a little bit of seniority when it comes to personal time. For example, his manager understood when I first got sick and he basically needed to work from home fulltime in order to take care of …
What software engineering "best practice" doesn't scale nearly as well as people claim? Have any of you worked at both a start-up as well as a big corporation? What are the major differences in terms of getting products from conception to release? What about maintaining them *after* release?
The End.
