The Wanderer pt.2

By @proliferationinthecrypts

Taken from the diaries of Dr Elliot Rutherford.

Okay. I think I’m losing my mind.

Let’s review how we got here, huh?

I just read through my last entry, on my first session with him, and since then, a week has passed. Things still make fuck all sense, and have kept me too busy to write more until now. I’ll summarise key events as follows:

The two men who gave me the scant initial papers on Grandpa have told me a little more about him. They dropped by- once again, unannounced- and kept me in my office for a good half hour. Grandpa got good feelings about our first session, they told me, and that he would be happy to have regular appointments with me. They also handed me a sleek, grey ring binder, which, apparently, Grandpa wanted me to have.

These events transpired yesterday morning. It is late evening, now. The grey folder sits next to me, read through twice, but not understood in the slightest.

The same two men who visited me yesterday came over again, about 3 hours ago. They’ve just left, after I’d given them everything I had.

To break it down, the men (I can’t keep calling them that, so let’s just name them Teeth and Baldie - they never gave me their names, anyway) had a tension in their bodies that wasn’t present the last few times we’d met. Before, Teeth and Baldie had always been relaxed, but never ignorant. They were alert, and concise, but never snappy. Tonight gave me a nasty shock. Teeth was red in the face, and Baldie a sickly grey. Teeth explained, after checking thrice that my room was sufficiently sealed off from the outside, that Grandpa was missing. That this morning, somewhere between 5:30 and 7:00 am, the apartment he was renting in Redbridge had been broken into. The place was a mess, Teeth said, broken bottles, cabinets flipped over, and bloody smears on the kitchen floor. Grandpa, and his possible attackers, still haven’t been found.

It was soon after this that Baldie tore into Teeth’s explanation, hitting me with question, after ques- tion. Had Grandpa told me his whereabouts? Did he leave any indication of his current address in the folder (at this, Teeth hissed something like “We went through that folder with Grandpa before we let him give it to this guy, remember?”) Had I discussed his case with anyone? I answered ‘no’ to every one. Baldie asked for my notes from my first session with Grandpa, and I complied. While Baldie paced around my office, scanning the pages, Teeth said something that I found very interesting-

“[Baldie], have you checked the news? We need to determine whether that blood belonged to [Grandpa].”

Baldie’s reply confused me even further:

“Yes, and no, I haven’t heard anything from any of our colleagues. And no, I’ve found no stories,

anywhere in the world that would indicate that the blood is his.”

Teeth simply nodded at this, and proceeded to ask me yet more questions. He was calmer than

Baldie, but still talked with a clipped urgency of a man who definitely was not 100% alright. “What religion is [Grandpa]?”

“Jewish. He was wearing a yarmulke under his hat, when I first saw him. I don’t know what type he is. I think he might be a rabbi? Or maybe he was one? He either told me, or wrote about it in, you know, the folder.”

“What ethnicity is [Grandpa]?” “Uhh...”

“How old is he?”

“I don’t know-“

“How old is he?”

“Somewhere between 60 and 65.”

“No, how old is he?”

“I don’t know?”

“Who have you chatted with about him?”

“No-one.”

“Which of your friends did you leak his address to?”

“What?”

I was grilled on quite a few things, from my political background, to my general knowledge. Teeth asked how much I’d read of the grey folder. At that time, I’d read the entire thing through once, and I told him as much. He listened, almost unblinking, as I told him everything I remembered. The scans of faded medical records in a stunning variety of formats and languages. The black-and- white photos Grandpa (presumably) had annotated with things like “Me as a (slightly) younger man.”. Handwritten URLs for cookery websites, for recipes Grandpa has said he “thought I might like”. Recommendations for books (one, I remember him writing, being a “poor translation of the original Aramaic, but you’ll get the gist”). Honestly, that folder could be the focus of its own thesis, but I won’t go into it now.

To conclude, Teeth and Baldie left after they were sure I wasn’t hiding anything from them. They told me to lay low, and be wary of my surroundings for the next week or so. They slipped me a phone number I was to call, they said, if anything odd happened, or if I found anything more about Grandpa.

The interrogation wasn’t what pushed me into losing my shit, though. No, that was what happened 20 minutes ago. Just before I could finish tidying my desk, and packing my rucksack, there was a knocking on my window. I was jumpy, after Teeth and Baldie’s visit, but I downright screamed when I snapped around, and saw a face peering at me. Hanging from my window ledge, barely keeping his purchase on the drainpipe that runs down the front of my building, was Grandpa. I feel bad, now, because this was the first time I’d seen him sans eyepatch. I understand why he wears it, now, and why it’s so big - the right side of his face is almost entirely marred by pink, mangled scar tissue. I know that he was burned (although what he wrote of this in the grey folder still makes no sense to me), but seeing his full face for the first time, glaring at me from the window ledge, almost made me piss myself. After realising who my night visitor was, I ran over, and opened the window.

After helping him clamber into my office, he embraced me. He wouldn’t stop apologising. When I asked him what for, he only hugged me tighter. When he finally let go, he dashed for my door, and then locked it. He’s pulled my ‘patient’ chair over there now, to sit beside it. He has a handgun. He says we can talk, but we need to keep quiet. I’m gonna try to needle something out of him, and determine what kind of situation I’m in right now.

Understanding Subresource Integrity

Drew McLellan

2019-04-09T12:30:59+02:002019-04-09T11:15:45+00:00

If you’ve ever used a CDN-hosted version of a JavaScript library, you may have noticed a strange looking integrity attribute on the script tag. This attribute contains seemingly endless alphanumeric junk that you may be tempted to strip out in the quest for cleaner code.

All that junk is actually a really useful security feature called Subresource Integrity (SRI) that can help to defend your site against certain types of hacks and compromises. In this article, we’ll take a look at what SRI is, how it can help protect you, and how you can start using it in your own projects, not just for files hosted on CDNs.

A Bit Of History

Way back in the days when JavaScript was very much the poorer cousin to HTML and CSS, we didn’t need to think too much about how our scripts could be used as an attack vector for our websites. Most sites were all hosted on a single physical server somewhere on our own hosting infrastructure, and it was the server we thought about defending when it came to security best practices.

As browsers became more capable and net connections got fatter, we started to use more and more JavaScript, and eventually, reusable JavaScript libraries began to spring up. In those early days libraries like script.aculo.us, Prototype and eventually jQuery began to gain adoption amongst developers looking to add more interactivity into their pages.

With these added libraries and subsequent plugins came added page weight, and before long we were starting to think seriously about front-end performance. Resources like Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) that had previously been the reserve of giant corporations were becoming commonplace for everyday folk building snappy websites.

Along the way, some bright spark noticed that sites were all requesting their own copies of common libraries — things like the latest jQuery — and if there was a common CDN version of those libraries that could be used by every site, then the user wouldn’t need to keep downloading the same file. They’d take the hit for the first site to use the file, but then it would sit in their local browser cache and downloads could be skipped for each subsequent site. Genius!

This is why you’ll see CDN links for your favorite libraries using URLs like jsdelivr.com — they’re making use of a common CDN to host the files so that their users see the performance benefits.

What Could Go Wrong?

This remains a good, practical way to work, but it does introduce a potential vector for attack. Let’s imagine that it’s 2012 and everyone is using the brand new jQuery 1.8. Back with the traditional way of doing things, everyone would have their own jQuery 1.8 file hosted as part of their own website on their own server.

If you were some kind of evil actor — like some sort of jQuery-based Hamburglar — and had figured out a sneaky way to hack the library for your own evil gains, you’d have to target every website individually and compromise their servers to have any impact. That’s a lot of effort.

But that’s not how things are now, as everyone is using jQuery loaded from a common CDN. And when I say everyone, I don’t mean hundreds of web pages. I mean millions of web pages. Suddenly that one file has become a very attractive target for our shady hacker. If they can compromise that one file, they can very quickly have code running in millions of web pages across the globe.

It doesn’t matter what that code is. It could be a prank to deface pages, it could be code to steal your passwords, it could be code to mine cryptocurrency, or it could be sneaky trackers to follow you around the web and make a marketing profile. The important thing is that the innocent file that the developer added to a page has been changed and you now have some evil JavaScript running as part of your site. That’s a big problem.

Enter Subresource Integrity

Rather than rolling back the clocks and abandoning a useful way to use code, SRI is a solution that adds a simple level of security on top. What SRI and the integrity attribute does is make sure that the file you linked into a page never changes. And if it does change, then the browser will reject it.

Checking that code hasn’t changed is a very old problem in computer science and thankfully it has some very well established solutions. SRI does a good job of adopting the simplest — file hashing.

File hashing is the process of taking a file and running it through an algorithm that reduces it to a short string representation, known as a hash or checksum. Without getting into the weeds, the process is either repeatable or reversible, so much that if you were to give someone else a file along with the hash they’d be able to run the same algorithm to check that the two match. If the file changes or the hash changes, then there’s no longer a match and you know something is wrong and should distrust the file.

When using SRI, your webpage holds the hash and the server (CDN or anywhere) holds the file. The browser downloads the file, then quickly computes to make sure that it is a match with the hash in the integrity attribute. If it matches the file is used, and if not it is blocked.

Trying It Out

If I go to getbootstrap.com today to get a CDN link to a version of Bootstrap, I’m given a tag that looks like this:

You can see that the src attribute is as we’re used to, and the integrity attribute holds what we now know to be a hash.

The hash is actually in two parts. The first is a prefix to declare which hashing algorithm to use. In this case, it’s sha384. This is followed by a dash and then the hash itself, encoded with base64.

(You may be familiar with base64 as a way of encoding inline files like images into pages. It’s not a cryptographic process — it’s just a fast and convenient way to encode potentially messy data in a way that translates neatly to ASCII. This is why it’s used a lot on the web.)

On seeing this the browser will download bootstrap.min.js. Before executing it, it will base64 decode the hash and then use the sha384 hashing algorithm to confirm that the hash matches the file it’s just downloaded. If it matches, the file is executed.

I can test this out by putting that tag in a page, and then flipping to the Network tab in my browser tools to see that the file has been loaded.

(Large preview)

I can see that bootstrap.min.js (and also the jQuery file it needs) have loaded successfully.

Let’s see what would happen if I update the hash to be something I know to be incorrect.

(Large preview)

As you can see, the hash that’s specified in my page no longer matches the file, so the file gets blocked.

Using SRI In Your Own Projects

Having this capability for libraries on a CDN is great, and if you see the option to use an embedded file with an integrity attribute then you should definitely favor that option. But it’s not limited to big projects on CDNs, you can use this yourself for your own sites.

It’s not at all far fetched to imagine a scenario where a hacker manages to get access to just a few files on your site. I think most of us have see a client, colleague or friend who has at some point had a WordPress site compromised with a load of nasty junk that they didn’t even realise was there.

SRI can protect you from this too. If you generate integrity hashes for your own files, then you can have your site reject any changes just as it would for a remotely hosted file.

Generating Hashes

You can, as you’d expect, run some commands at your computer’s terminal to generate a hash for a file. This example of how to do so comes from the MDN Subresource Integrity page:

cat FILENAME.js | openssl dgst -sha384 -binary | openssl base64 -A

That’s getting the content of FILENAME.js and passing it as input to openssl to create a digest using sha384, which is then passed as input into another openssl command to base64 encode the result. Not only is that complicated and obscure, but it’s also not the sort of thing you want to be doing by hand every time your JavaScript file changes.

More usefully, you’ll want to integrate this somehow into your site’s build process, and as you’d imagine, there are plenty of ready-made options there. The exact implementation is going to vary wildly based on your project, but here are some building blocks.

If you use Gulp to build your sites, there’s gulp-sri which will output a JSON file with a list of your files and their hashes. You can then make use of this in your site. For example, for a dynamically rendered site, you might create a template plugin to read that file and add the hashes to your templates where needed.

If you’re still with Gulp but have a static site (or a statically generated site) you might use gulp-sri-hash which will actually run through your HTML pages and modify the pages to add hashes where needed, which is very handy.

If you’re using Webpack, there’s webpage-subresource-integrity which in true Webpack style is more complex than any human might expect it to be, but does appear to work.

For those using the Handlebars templating engine, there appear to be options available to you, and if your build process is just basic JavaScript, there are simple solutions there too.

If you’re using a CMS like WordPress, I found a plugin that appears to make it easy, although I’ve not tried it myself. Googling for your own platform of choice with SRI or Sub Resource Integrity will likely point you in the right direction.

You essentially want to hook your hashing in after your JavaScript files have been minified and then make that hash available in some way to whatever part of your system outputs the <script> tags. One of the wonders of the web platform is that it’s so technically diverse, but that sadly leaves me unable to give you good implementation instructions!

Other Things To Note

In this article, I’ve talked a lot about JavaScript files because that’s really where it makes the most sense to defend against hacking attacks. SRI also works with CSS, and so you can use it in exactly the same way there. The risk for malicious CSS is much lower, but the potential to deface a site still exists and who knows what browser bugs could also lead to CSS inadvertently exposing your site to a hacker. So it’s work using SRI there too.

Another interesting thing you can do is use a Content Security Policy to specify that any script (or styles) on your page must use SRI, and of course that SRI must validate.

Content-Security-Policy: require-sri-for script;

This is a way to ensure that SRI is always used, which could be useful on sites worked on by multiple team members who may or may not be fully up to speed with how to do things. Again, a good place to read more about this is the always-great MDN docs for Subresource Integrity.

The last thing that’s worth talking about is browser support for SRI. Support in modern browsers is broad, with the main exception being Internet Explorer. Due to the backwards-compatible way the specification has been implemented, however, it’s safe to use immediately. Browsers that understand the integrity attribute will use the hash and check integrity, and older browsers will just carry on as they always have and keep working. Of course, you’ll not get the added protection in those older browsers, but you will in the browsers that do offer support.

Conclusion

We’ve seen not only what those weird hashes in the integrity attributes do, but how we can use them to defend against certain types of attacks on our website. Of course, there’s no one silver bullet that will defend our sites against every type of exploit, but Subresource Integrity is a really useful tool in the chain.

Exploiting a security flaw is often about getting multiple small pieces to line up. If A is in place, and you can make B happen, then a bug in C makes D possible. Browser features like SRI give us a good way to tie things down just a little bit more and potentially break that chain and prevent a hacker from getting what they want. What’s more, if you can integrate it into your build process or CMS, it’s something you should be able to set up once and then forget about and it won’t cause you day to day inconvenience.

As such, I’d really recommend taking a serious look at Subresource Integrity and implementing it on your sites if you can.

Jira Software 8.0 release notes

Jira Service Desk 4.0 release notes

Better email notifications

With every issue update sent in a separate email, email notifications can get overwhelming. Digging through a pile of emails first thing in the morning is never a good idea, that’s why we’ve embarked on a mission to make notifications smarter, and less chatty.

In Jira 8.0, you can batch events that occur close together, and receive them in a single summary email. Every email like that groups events that occurred in a single issue within the 10-minute window, and is very helpful when you're doing any bulk updates, or when your teammates create issues and fill them in in one go. Here’s how a summary email looks:

Your Jira admin can enable this feature by going to (cogwheel) > System > Batching email notifications. Learn more

New priority icons

We’ve got a lot of feedback about our priority icons not being distinctive or accessible, and we have to agree with that. Finally, after countless hours of designing, user testing, and even looking for inspiration in Egyptian hieroglyphs, we’ve decided on a set of simple and clear icons that will make it easier to distinguish what needs to be done first. Here’s a comparison of old and new icons that you'll be seeing around Jira:

New options in advanced search

Here are some new options that you can use when searching for issues with advanced search:

Find authors (updatedBy)

Search for issues that were updated by a specific user, within a specified time range. Whether you're looking for issues updated in the last 8 hours, two months, or between June and September 2017 - we've got you covered. Learn more

Find link types (issueLinkType)

Search for issues that are linked with other issues by particular link types, like blocks or is duplicated by. This will help you quickly find any related blockers, duplicates, and other issues that affect your work. Learn more

Faster indexing

One of the big changes coming in Jira 8.0 is the upgrade of Lucene, Jira’s search-based subsystem engine. Though not visible at first glance like other user features, this change brings significant improvements to indexing, which makes it easier to administer and maintain your Jira instance. Here’s an overview of how this change affects indexing:

All of the following performance improvements are based on the Jira 8.0 vs Jira 7.6 comparison.

Reindexing Jira takes much less time Reindex duration is 71% faster (in our tests, a 3h reindex dropped to 53 minutes.) This means less time spent on reindexing after major configuration changes, and quicker upgrades.

Jira indexes are smaller, and easier to maintain Index size has shrunk by 48% (in our tests, the index size dropped from 19GB to 9.9GB.) This means a faster, more stable Jira that is easier to maintain and troubleshoot.

Jira performance is stable over time No need to reindex often, as performance stays consistent and doesn’t degrade with time.

Jira is more stable and predictable Memory issues that occurred with intensive search functions, like very complex JQLs, are nonexistent in our 8.0 tests.

For more detailed performance results, see Performance and scale testing.

REST API for issue type schemes

Jira 8.0 brings REST APIs to let you manage issue type schemes outside of the user interface. As a Jira admin, you can perform the following actions:

Create an issue type scheme and associate it with projects

Retrieve individual or all issue type schemes, together with the associated projects

Change or remove projects associated with a scheme

Delete issue type schemes

For more info, see Issue type schemes in Jira REST API docs.

Small improvements to make your day

4-byte characters

Jira now supports 4-byte characters with MySQL 5.7 and later. This means you can finally use all these emojis you've dreamed about! Here's a guide that will help you connect Jira to a MySQL 5.7 database. You can find more details about this change in this suggestion.

Add-ons are now apps

We're renaming add-ons to apps. This has already changed in our Universal Plugin Manager some time ago, and now Jira follows suit. This change shouldn't really affect you, but we're letting you know so you're not surprised when seeing this new naming in the Jira administration and other pages.

Bonus resources

Performance and scale testing

With every Jira release, we’re publishing a performance and scaling report that compares performance of the current Jira version with the previous one. The report also contains results of how various data dimensions (number of custom fields, issues, projects, and so on) affect Jira, so you can check which of these data dimensions should be limited to give best results when scaling Jira. You can get the report for Jira 8.0 here.

Security overview and advisories

We’ve created a document for system administrators who want to evaluate the security of the Jira application. The document answers a number of questions that commonly come up when customers ask us about the security of our product. It will also list any security advisories published for Jira 8.0. You can view it here.

InstaThumbs Review Explode Your Youtube Views By 374%

https://kiwireviewz.com/instathumbs-review/Howdy,

At this point you may have understood the intensity of utilizing a decent thumbnail and how it can help video perspectives and increment deals.

In any case, on the off chance that it is so natural, at that point for what reason isn't everybody utilizing custom thumbnails?

You can utilize programming like Photoshop to make thumbnails however it is overly hard and exhausting. There is such an immense expectation to learn and adapt, that it doesn't bode well to contribute so much time and cash (did you know Photoshop $500 coincidentally).

Recruiting a planner or a specialist is another choice. However, when I attempted it, I got cites from $5 to $260 for a straightforward thumbnail. This would be alright on the off chance that you needed to do one video, however in case you're making recordings day by day, that can turn out to be expensive rapidly.

Be that as it may, don't stress, with InstaThumbs, presently it is neither troublesome nor expensive.

The best free blogging site of 2018

New Post has been published on https://www.etechwire.com/the-best-free-blogging-site-of-2018/

The best free blogging site of 2018

Free blogging sites have come a long way in recent years, and it’s now easier than ever to create a professional-looking blog to share a hobby with likeminded people, express your opinions, and establish an online presence.

These free blogging sites are aimed at hobbyist bloggers – blogs are created and managed online, and hosted on the blogging platform’s own servers. If you want to create a self-hosted blog, the downloadable version of WordPress is an excellent option, with total flexibility, support for third-party plugins, and as much storage as your hosting plan allows.

If you’re interested in making a static website rather than an online journal, take a look at our guide to the best free website builders.

You can host a WordPress blog yourself, or create one online and have it hosted at wordpress.com

1. WordPress

Advanced features, plugins and a generous storage allowance

Powerful customization options

Useful analytics

Active support community

Powerful and highly customizable, WordPress is a brilliant platform for blogs of any size, and bloggers of any level of experience.

Creating your first blog is very straightforward, with a simple wizard that guides you through the process of choosing a name and suitable theme. You can leave it there and begin writing posts immediately, but the real fun lies in the more advanced editor, which lets you customize virtually every aspect of your blog’s appearance.

Unlike some blogging sites, WordPress isn’t a drag-and-drop affair, and you’ll have to familiarize yourself with its system of menus. It’s well worth the effort, though, and enables you to create something truly personal. The editor also lets you create static pages – like a writer’s biography, for example.

The post-writing interface is much like an ordinary desktop word processor (though some options are presented in a toolbar at the top, while others are in a menu at the side, which can be a little confusing at first). Again, time spent getting to know the interface is rewarded with advanced features like customizable social media sharing buttons, geotagging, and the ability to pick a custom style for individual posts.

Sometimes you might want to create a photo gallery, for example, and other times a more text-focused style would be more appropriate. You can also view and edit the HTML source.

As your blog grows, WordPress lets you track its stats, including page views, visitors, likes and comments over time. You can also see how readers reach your site, which content they viewed, and where they are in the world, so you can tailor your content accordingly.

Your site is hosted on WordPress servers, with an address in the format yoursite.wordpress.com. Users of the free service don’t get email or live chat support, but the WordPress community forums are very active and questions are usually answered within a few minutes.

WordPress displays ads on free blogs, but provided you can live with that, it’s undoubtedly the best free blogging site around.

Try it online: WordPress

Blogger has been around for many years, but has kept up with current trends and technology, including responsive blog templates

2. Blogger

Boasts mobile-friendly features and Google app integration

Very accessible for newbies

Impressive selection of templates

Not as powerful as WordPress

Blogger is another superb blogging platform. It’s not quite as powerful as WordPress, but more accessible for new users, which comes as no surprise when you learn that it’s owned by Google.

Blogger offers an excellent selection of templates, all of which include mobile versions optimized for smaller screens – a very sensible addition with so many people accessing online content through smartphones.

Blogger’s post-editing tool is much like WordPress, but offers fewer options. As a result, its toolbars are less confusing – a trade-off between power and usability.

One of Blogger’s best features is its integration with other Google apps and services. For example, it uses your Google Drive account to store images and other files for your blog. Google Drive gives you 15GB of space free, so Blogger is a good choice if you’re planning to share a lot of high-res photos.

Spam comments are a big problem on blogs, so Blogger’s automatic spam filter can help save your sanity. You can monitor comments via Blogger’s dashboard, which also lets you see visitor stats. There are some handy visualizations here, including a world map to show the global distribution of your readers.

Your blog will have an address in the format yoursite.blogger.com, and, like all Google services, will include ads. Support is available through the Blogger user forum, which is very active but has a strange layout that can be a little off-putting.

In all other respects, Blogger is brilliant – one of the best free blogging sites if you prioritize ease of use over flexibility and are a fan of the Google ecosystem.

Try it online: Blogger

Wix offers a choice of blog building tools, making the process as simple or involved as you like

3. Wix

Great for new users, with free stock photos to get you started

ADI feature is great for total beginners

Excellent on the media front

Limited storage and traffic allowance

Wix is our favorite general-purpose free website builder, and is great for creating stylish blogs too. Its chief drawback is storage – you have just 500MB for your files and data traffic is restricted to 500MB per month, so you’ll need to upgrade to a premium plan if your blog really takes off.

Once you’ve created an account, select ‘blog’ from the list of categories, then choose either Wix Artificial Design Intelligence (ADI) or Wix Editor. Wix ADI asks a series of very simple questions, then builds a site around your answers – ideal if you’ve never created a site before and find the idea intimidating. Wix Editor is very straightforward too (simpler than Blogger or WordPress), but is much more flexible than ADI and will be a better choice for most users.

One of Wix’s best features is its choice of image sources, including your hard drive, social media, free images from Wix itself, and pictures from its partner stock photography site Bigstock. If your blog posts are text-heavy, these free images are a great way to make them look more appealing.

On the downside, your custom wix.com URL will include a string of not-too-snappy letters and numbers that might make it hard to memorize.

That aside, its resources and friendly approach mean Wix just pips Weebly to third place. Free Wix sites include a tiny ad for the company in the top-right and another at the bottom, but these won’t spoil the look for your blog.

Try it online: Wix

Blogs on Weebly are built from a combination of content blocks

4. Weebly

Drag-and-drop your way to a smart looking blog

Simple but powerful blog building

Neat extras like post previewing

Limited to 500MB of storage

Weebly takes a modular approach to blog-building, with a drag-and-drop editor that lets you choose which elements to add to your site, and where.

It’s worth noting, however, that certain content blocks can only be positioned in certain areas; it isn’t a total free-for-all. This makes sense – forcing you to stick within the confines of your chosen template stops the page looking messy – but you might find it limiting.

Blog posts are made in the same way: drag text boxes, picture frames, buttons and page breaks into position, then click to edit them. One particularly nice feature is the ‘secret draft link’, which lets you preview your unpublished post, and even share it with others via email before releasing it into the wild.

Weebly has some other interesting tricks up its sleeve too, including an area for pasting in Google Analytics tracking code (though it doesn’t offer analytics itself).

As with Wix, you’re only given 500MB for uploaded content, so photographers might want to look elsewhere. Weebly puts an ad in your site’s footer, but it doesn’t obscure any of your content.

Try it online: Weebly

Penzu is a personal blogging tool that lets you create your own private diary

5. Penzu

A secure journal for your private thoughts

Emphasis on privacy and security

Free mobile apps

Some pressure to upgrade to paid version

Whereas the other free blogging sites are designed to get as many eyeballs on your posts as possible, Penzu is the equivalent of a locked diary stashed in a safe.

Penzu is a journal platform that makes your posts private by default and locks them down with at least one password (even after you’re logged in, you need a second one to read or edit your posts). That’s because it’s designed for private thoughts and personal reflection. There are free apps for iOS and Android that enable you to update your Penzu diary anywhere, but the contents are for your eyes only.

Penzu isn’t a tool for self-promotion, so although it’s far from ugly, it understandably focuses on function rather than looks. Custom colors and backgrounds come at a price – currently $20 (about £14, AU$25) per year.

It’s a shame that 128-bit AES encryption is also limited to the paid-for version, and there’s a fair amount of pressure to upgrade. Extra options are often dangled under your nose then yanked away, but the core offering is a good one, and if you simply want a place to record your thoughts and practise writing, Penzu could be just what you need.

Supercharge Your Site With a CDN

As a web designer, you already know that great design is essential for a website—it’s the concept of design you trust, unless a website looks absolutely amazing, it’s going to be hard for new visitors to trust that site. That’s how essential great design is to a website.

However, there’s another essential part of having a trustworthy website, the positive UX which comes with a fast, snappy website.

After great design, speed is one of the most important factors which contribute to the success of a website.

But Why is Speed so Important?

The importance of a fast website has been researched over and over again.

Sites which are not fast enough create a negative perception, with the actual loading time of a site significantly affecting the conversion rates of websites.

As the loading time gets higher and higher, the conversion rate goes down significantly, with the optimum conversion rate happening at a page load time of 2.4 seconds.

What is a CDN and How Can it Help Speed Up My Sites?

Whilst there are many benefits to using a CDN which we will discuss shortly, there is one basic premise of how a CDN makes your site faster.

Simply put, a CDN is much better equipped as a network to handle the traffic of a website than most hosting services.

Shared hosting is typically optimized towards delivering a stable environment where your website can run PHP or other popular hosting environments.

It’s not geared towards optimizing for speed most times.

On the other hand, a CDN’s primary aim, and actual infrastructure setup is geared towards helping deliver a lightning fast website.

But how does a CDN actually speed up my site?

How a CDN’s Infrastructure Speeds Up Your Site

There are a few reasons why your website could be slow:

your shared hosting server is overwhelmed and responds slowly;

the images and content of your site are large and take a lot of time to download;

your website is using too many different scripts and images which are not optimized for a fast loading website;

the server location of your site is in a geographically different region than the visitors of your website.

There are other reasons, but these are the major ones.

You can address each and every one of these individually, we’ll focus mostly on the latter two here…

Your Shared Hosting Server is Overwhelmed and Responds Slowly

Shared hosting servers are not meant to be fast. They are meant to be affordable.

The economics of shared hosting means that to drive down the costs, the number of different websites hosted on the same server is significantly high.

That means, each time somebody visits your website, the hosting server is competing for resources with ALL of the websites hosted on the site, which means it typically takes more than a second to start serving your website.

Now, when we’re talking about making a website, a penalty of a second before we start doing any optimizations is a terrible way to start.

So a couple of recommendations:

If your website is hosted with WordPress, you need to find a reliable WordPress hosting company, with great reviews, which is not cheap.

Opt for a higher payment plan, ideally a VPS, such that your site will have enough resources and won’t be competing with hundreds of other sites

The Images of Your Site are Large

One of the largest impacts your site can have in terms of loading time, typically comes from the images hosted on your site.

You’ll find plenty of blogs touting the value of using images in your website and blog, and of course, this is excellent advice.

Images are necessary to break up large chunks of text and make for better readability.

Who also hasn’t heard of the phrase: “An image is worth a thousand words”

Yes, images are vital to the success of your site.

Yet, they have a drawback.

Unoptimized images can kill the loading time of your site.

Now, in an ideal world, we’d take the recommended approach of saving each file in a web-friendly format, optimizing large images and compressing them to a size which is acceptable without losing any of the quality.

Yet in reality, we simply don’t have the time or the inclination to go through an optimization process for each and every image.

But, there is a solution. Automation.

Once, again, CDNs come to the rescue. Image compression and optimization is typically a built-in feature of a CDN.

In essence, you go about your business of creating a great-looking website with awesome imagery, the CDN will handle the compression and optimization of the images.

Your Website Uses a Lot of Scripts

This is another speed killer.

When we are just starting out as web designers, we enjoy discovering new plugins and testing them out and installing them on our website, never realising what the impact of the plugins will be.

Even established web designers tend to fall into this trap. Using tens of plugins to make sure the functionality required by the customer is delivered has its side effects.

In reality, each plugin you install on your site adds Javascript files, CSS files and requires more performance from your site.

You’ll see that in the form of a lot of requests on performance testing sites and a very-long loading time.

Again, a few recommendations:

Keep your site as lean as possible from plugins, less is more

Combine, compress and minify scripts

Enable HTTP/2

Whilst a CDN won’t help you decide which plugins to keep and which plugins to dump, a CDN is able to actually perform on-the-fly compression and minification of scripts, to make the total size of the content of your site smaller, and thus faster.

The third and very important recommendation is the setting of HTTP/2 – we’re not going to go into much detail, because we’ve already discussed HTTP/2 extensively, both on this site and elsewhere.

HTTP/2 has been written specifically to optimize the loading time of websites, particularly those websites which have a lot of different resources to serve.

Most CDN services allow you to quickly and easily enable HTTP/2 on your website giving your site an instant speed boost.

Even if you’ve done all of the above optimizations, there’s still one thing which can totally kill the speed of your website.

How do you fix that?

The Location of Your Website Server

Ok, if you’ve followed our advice your website should now be significantly faster than it was before.

But, there is one thing which can kill your website’s loading speed.

If your website is aimed at a local audience, your solution is simple: choose a good hosting service which is as physically close to your target location as possible.

However, this is more difficult if your if your website is catering for an international audience.

You simply can’t chose a server location which is physically close to all of your website visitors.

You can do the next best thing and host in the visitor location which is the most popular, but there’s a 2nd, more effective solution.

A CDN service is aimed specifically is fixing this problem.

A CDN’s infrastructure is designed specifically to fix the problem which we have just described.

CDN’s have a network of hundreds of servers in tens of locations around the globe. These servers called edge or caching servers will replicate your images and static resources such as Javascript and CSS files to these locations.

When a user then hits your site, the heavy resources will get served from a location which is as physically close as possible to your visitor.

This reduces significantly the problem of distance and gives your site a very significant advantage in terms of loading speed.

How to Setup a Free CDN

The great thing about using a CDN, is that you can easily boost the speed of your website without having to pay anything extra, particular if your website is still growing.

Most CDN services offer a free plan, which will provide the essential caching functionality we discussed above. Typically, besides content optimization, you’ll also got a boost in your website’s security too, through the security mechanisms implemented by CDNs.

As your website grows and the needs of the site grow, you’ll then be able to upgrade to a plan which suits your needs better.

There are a couple of ways of setting up a CDN, this mostly depends on the actual CDN you will be using.

Install a CDN Plugin

The first way of setting up a CDN is by using a CDN plugin. When setting up your CDN, you will get a URL which will be the new location of the static images of your site.

The CDN plugin will rewrite the URL of static resources such that they will be served from the CDN.

http://ift.tt/2ruHsP8

is now rewritten as

http://ift.tt/2se6YFe

You’ll need to perform a few slight changes to the DNS entries of your site, such that cdn.example.com will resolve as the URL provided by your CDN.

You can use the CDN Enabler plugin if you’re using URL rewriting service such as KeyCDN (the authors of this plugin), MaxCDN or Incapsula.

Once you’ve installed this plugin, the only thing you’ll need to do is enter the URL provided by your CDN service, and you should be good to go.

Install a CDN as a Reverse Proxy

Another, better way of installing a CDN is using a reverse proxy.

This also requires minor changes to your DNS, which are typically specific to the CDN you will be installing.

This implementation is advantageous because it removes a significant load from hitting your server directly.

Are You Ready to Take Your Website to the Next Speed Level?

As we’ve seen above, installing a CDN is not as prohibitive in terms of price as one may think. Besides that, the performance boost given to your site will be a significant UX improvement.

If you’re looking to speed up your site quickly, a CDN is a must-have.
