Description

After playing around with the newest release of Google DevTools Lighthouse audits. I decided to take another look at a solution for dynamically delivery of webp image formats.

1and1 CDN Clear Cache and Developer Mode

Published: 9/1/2018 11:15 PM

Description

An update on my earlier post. I couldn't accept that the answers I was given from the 1 and 1 support tech were right. I was told that you can only turn CDN on or off. After doing some more research on the image caching issue, I found that this is easily possible through a direct account with Cloudflare. I also found that 1and1 has been using Cloudflare as a CDN provider for years. I can't be the only one who ever asked to clear cache or make modification beside the simple on or off switch. Here i

CDN Image Cache Differences

Published: 9/1/2018 6:00 PM

Description

While getting ready for the release of the new version of this site, I was doing some testing on any device I could get my hands on. Didn't matter if it was a PC, tablet, android device or an iDevice. My hopes was that I would see similar updates reaching all devices at the same time. Granted, that wouldn't happen if I didn't make sure to clear local cache on the device I was testing. But... I made sure that was done. Here is what I found that surprised me.

1&1 Cloudflare CDN does not support non www URLs

This morning I woke up all excited to find out if my Cloudflare CDN had propagated. After doing some testing through 1&1's own website speed tool and many runs through GTmetrix on a global scale. I wasn't seeing any indication or validation that the CDN was working. So, I called 1&1 support. Here is what I found. delivery

Enable gzip compression on 1and1.com

Published: 7/20/2018 12:00 AM

Description

The speed increase from enabling gZIP compression on a website is a must. It's been a while since I have journeyed in to the world of Apache, which I am pretty sure what 1 and 1 is utilizing. Time to see what I can do through the htaccess file or control panel to enable gzip compression.

While running some test on the AATI Windows IIS server, I came across an issue with my previous implementation of the HTTP/2 protocol. I was surprised to find out, what I thought had been working, was not. Time to take a look at why HTTP/2 is not working on IIS.
