This service takes a cURL request and outputs an https URL: https://www.gostaticapp.com/ You can use it via cURL or github actions ( https://github.com/marketplace/actions/gostatic…

This certainly wins on convenience and accessibility for non-developers. I was working on a similar concept, but it still required some dev skills (use curl or github actions) - ht…

Hey, I've been tinkering with this concept recently, it's not quite ready for beta testing, but I'd be happy to take feedback on what I've got so far: http://croncloud.io/

It's also important to note that these new rules cover the sale of digital goods to CONSUMERS only, if you are (for example) a registered business in the UK and selling to a regist…

A couple of useful resources if you need to calculate VAT rates across Europe and Stripe's fees in each country: http://jsonvat.com/ , https://stripefees.com/

Perhaps consider an enterprise agreement with AWS? We've saved $large without needing to switch providers just by committing to a minimum monthly volume of data transfer. Worth see…

On that point (needing a sys admin for say 10 hours a week), where should a currently devs only team be looking? Remote freelancer? Dev with ops / sys admin experience?

* Don't push new code to production while operational problem is ongoing (unless it addresses the operational problem) ^^ absolutely!

Awesome, this was the missing piece of the puzzle for me, thanks for getting it out so quick.

Count me in... How should we go about organising it? Email or setup some kind of group?

Leeds (if that counts!)

Suboptimal from what perspective? Server processing time & data transfer - maybe, user experience - not necessarily. Ajax calls aren't by more optimal by definition, it depends on …

The "industry standard" will vary vastly with the vertical you operate in (sports, technology, barbie dolls) and quality of your site and audience

Good point, I think there is a balance though.... For example, on a site with only one advert per page, I don't think there is any harm in having a new page load rather than an aja…
