Is your WordPress website truly ready for an increase in visitors using mobile phones and tablets? Research shows most websites have much lower conversion ratios for mobile devices compared to the desktop. Why is this relevant and how can you change this for your website?
This presentation will offer insights into the behavior of your mobile visitors. It will also provide highly actionable tips and techniques on how to improve the top problems (such as loading speed, menus and forms) that prevent mobile visitors from converting to customers.
Web Performance in the Age of HTTP2 - Topconf Tallinn 2016 - Holger BartelHolger Bartel
Web performance optimisation has been gaining ground and is slowly getting more of its deserved recognition.
Nevertheless, much of our time on the web is still used up by waiting. To decrease our wait time and improve the web’s overall performance, this integral part of user experience needs further promotion.
Waiting and the perception of time itself, is reason enough to explore some of the psychological effects time has on our users, too.
Passing time also plays a big role in the evolution of technologies. Through the history of HTTP we have reached the latest version as HTTP/2, which will turn some of our existing web performance best practices on their head and into the new anti-patterns of today.

Sucuri Webinar: How Caching Options Can Impact Your Website SpeedSucuri
When a website is accessed, the server usually needs to compile the website code, display the end result and provide the visitor with all the website's assets. This all takes a toll on your server resources, slowing down the total page load time and increasing the chances of a small DDoS attack bringing it down.
To avoid this overhead, it's necessary to leverage certain types of caching whenever possible.
This webinar is for beginners and web professionals to learn about the three most used caching types in practice: Static Files caching, Page Caching, and In-Memory Caching.
Working Differently: Publishing With Ag CMS ArticlesBob Bertsch
To effectively communicate online, NDSU Extension Service needs to publish online content that can be found and shared. This session will show you how to use the “article” type in Ag CMS to publish content that can be easily found, used and shared by our customers.
5 Steps to a Faster Website and Higher Google RankingsSabrina Zeidan
Why you should forget about the scores if you want to speed up your website? What is TTFB and why you should care about it? Why using CDN might not help you improve the site speed? Why Twitter with all that funny GIFs loads lightning fast and your visitors have to wait for ages while one single kitten gets loaded? How do you get to know your hosting is fast enough?
During this session we will learn:
how to measure website load times and interpret the results
what should you do after all possible caching is already on but your website is still awfully slow
how to define bottlenecks and fix them without making significant changes to the theme.
Let’s make websites load faster together!
How Chunky Do You Need To Be?: Adaptive Content Strategies For The Real WorldChristopher Grant Ward
Okay, we get it. No more blobs. Make things chunky. Separate content from code.
But this is easier said than done.
Most content professionals work with small budgets or cope with big bureaucracies. We can't move forward on ideals alone. We need practical approaches (and dare we say, compromises) for implementing adaptive content in our day-to-day jobs. Instead of discussing in vain how to build perfect solutions, let's look closely at real-world case studies of people who have made tough calls and tradeoffs to move toward adaptive content in ways that solved actual problems.
Adaptive content requires a cultural shift in thinking, and along the way, we need to be able to allow ourselves some tradeoffs. Many situations today cannot realistically support, or even require, the chunkiest solution possible. When could a little WYSIWYG sometimes be a good thing? Is it heresy to allow the errant blob into your content management system for a special use case? As we defend the purity of content, it's also our responsibility as strategists to empower content creators to do their jobs well. Sure, the larger theory is exciting to think about, we'd like to talk more about the things we can actually start doing when we arrive to work the next morning.
- This method works, Guaranteed!
- Guaranteed profit ($50 your first day, and 300$+ daily afterwards)
- No investment required
- 100% Auto-pilot
- Only a 5 minutes setup
- Easy to understand
- Newbie Friendly
- It is the only method that works.
The web is evolving too fast, and it could be overwhelming sometimes to keep the rhythm with the pace of all that good work happening by the amazing web enthusiast engineers, so to put it all in a nutshell we'll review the most significant changes in the web platform recently, including the major features and adoptions of PWA - Progressive Web Apps, and AMP - Accelerated Mobile Pages. It's like headlines or teasers, that you can refer to individual topics for details later. You're free to use these slides in your talks, I'd appreciate giving credits though - https://goo.gl/1joHK4

Arduino Lecture 2 - Electronic, LEDs, Communications and DatasheetsEoin Brazil
Continuing the coverage of the Arduino platform with some electronics revisions, an introduction to some communication issues, and some pointers about datasheets. Part of the Interactive Media Master's program at the University of Limerick.
Building the world’s biggest iBeacon living lab with WSO2Yenlo
The city of Amsterdam, together with Yenlo and partners, is building the biggest iBeacon Living Lab with the help of WSO2 products. Beacons are small radio devices that send out a bluetooth signal that can be picked up by nearby smartphones. As part of the smart city initiative, these beacons will literally become part of the city. First, the iBeacon Mile (slightly longer than 3.4km), consisting of 60 beacon installations, will be built from the central station of Amsterdam to the Scheepvaartmuseum. Within a year there will be almost 3000 beacons throughout the city of Amsterdam.
Beacons allow for a much more precise determination of location (from 80 or so meters to less than 50 centimetres) enabling a new level of location based services both indoors and outdoors. Through this, navigation, hyper local advertising, couponing, showing historic content about monuments and many other services become a reality.
In order to make this possible we are creating a solution with WSO2 products to open up the beacons to developers by offering a set of public APIs. In this webinar we will discuss:
The iBeacon Mile project
How we open up a public set of APIs to developers using
WSO2 API Manager
WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus
WSO2 Data Services Server

The New Renaissance of JavaScript - SMX London 2019Onely
Developers love JavaScript for its flexibility and capabilities. But search engines still find it difficult to process JavaScript successfully. Google recently released a new SEO workaround, called dynamic rendering, that will support modern sites with JavaScript and sites that have a strong social media presence.
This session dives into the promise and reality of dynamic rendering. You'll get insights into how to implement this new process of switching between client–side rendered and pre–rendered content, and an up–close look at how dynamic rendering provides positive benefits for sites that rely heavily on JavaScript.
As smart devices explode, we need a new way to interact with them, you can't download an app for a vending machine you'll use just once. The Physical Web unlocks the superpower of the web, frictionless interaction, for any smart device.
The world is in love with the "Internet of things" but we are using old tools to solve the problem. While we had no choice but to use native apps on our phones for this first generation of smart devices (e.g. Nest) it can't scale. If we believe in Moore's Law at all, we'll have hundreds if not thousands of these devices in our lives in a very short period of time. It just doesn't make sense to use apps as our primary interaction tool. The Physical Web is an approach to 'infuse' the web into physical objects so you can just walk up and use any device, on any platform, with just a single click.
Native applications are a remnant of the Jurassic period of computer history. We will look back on these past 10 years as the time we finally grew out of our desktop mindset and started down the path of writing apps for an infinite number of platforms. As the cost of computation and connectivity plummets, manufacturers are going to put 'interactivity' into every device. Some of this will be trivial: my power adaptor knows it's charging history. Some of it will be control related: my television will be grand central for my smart home. But at it's heart, we'll be swimming in world where every device will have 'an app'. What will it take for us to get here, what technologies will it take to make this happen?
This talk will discuss how the principles of the open web must apply not only to prototocols but to hardware as well. How can we build a 'DNS for hardware' so the menagerie of devices has a chance for working together?
Mobile Apps and the coming Zombie ApocScott Jenson
Mobile apps are going through a deep transformation. Most people feel that apps, particularly on the iPhone, are the end of the line, the ultimate expression of functionality. This talk reflects a bit on what 'apps' really are, the role of the cloud and more importantly, how the coming horde of cheap computing devices is going to overturn what 'an app' is likely to be in the future.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

Did any of you see this tweet from Scott Jehl last May? It got quite a bit of traction for something near and dear to this conference: test your site speed
I only have a modest little WP site but I try…. My theme is responsive, I’ve created a child theme to simplify the layout to make it clean and simple. I’m doing so little right? My speed index should be….. 5100????? I was devastated. How could I ever have coffee with Steve Souders again?
So rolled up my sleeves, brought to Chrome Dev Tools and found out that WP is kind of stupid when it comes to thumbnail images. So I rolled up my sleeves, fixed a few things, made my pages static (I don’t blog often) and…
I was able to get my speed index down to 2354!!! I was pretty excited. If a UX designer can do this, I think most folks could.
But even though page render is a CRITICAL issue, is it the only one facing us as a community? What does SPEED actually mean? Those of you that have been around for awhile know that UX designers used to be called UI designers. We switched because we didn’t want to focus just on the Interface but the entire Xperience. What is the speed not of the page, the interface, but the entire experience? For example, how do someone GET to my page?
Most likely they got it from a search, or possible a social site linking to it
And that page was linked from another page. And it keeps going: ITS TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN. We’re living in a virtual world of pages and as long as we never leave, JUST worrying about page speed is fine. If everyone does their part, we’ll b fine
But where ARE people when they load web pages?
Its easy to answer this as a desktop vs mobile but that’s the device question, I’m curious as to WHERE?
Are they home? At a retail store? Can the store itself become a link?
really, WHERE are they when they are getting to your site?
We usually don’t even imagine what a website could be if it could be invoked from a physical location
It’s slowly dawning on all of us that the web isn’t just a virtual world. We’re not sitting in the dark flitting from one network node to the next. We all exist the the real, physical world. And the web web could have huge potential here. There have even been some misguided attempts to bring the web into our world. And people seem understand, at some level, the potential value, but they just can’t get past the ham fisted nature of these attempts
Have you all seen this tumbler? It’s been around for 3 years and as you can see,
it’s pretty active
But all can feel the value the web could bring to physical objects. But it’s not possible. We all see this with new smart devices, the can’t use the web, each and every one of them has their own native app. Some on on one platform, some on another, but rarely both for the simple reason that the costs are two high to port it.
But how does this scale. We can come now but if we believe in Moore’s Law at all, it will be 3 this year 9 the next and 30 the following year.
There are many things that native apps are great at, but keeping up the the exponential explosion of smart hardware isn’t one of them.
The super power of the web is that anything is just a tap, a click, a selection away. It’s interaction on demand. This seems like a pretty useful thing to have for smart devices. Why can’t the web be of use here?
The web, and it’s standards bodies, usually focuses on the DOM, the white rectangle where all of the content goes. This rectangle is indeed amazing, and getting better all the time.
But what about that address bar at the top? Has it really changed all that much in the last 25 years? We’ve done a bit with auto complete but we are still asking users to type to go anywhere. What’s wrong with this picture? We have taken the most amazing rendering engine on the planet and strapped a damn command line UI on top of it! Every other mobile app today is taking advantage of the sensors in mobile phones, why can’t the browser do that as well?
Why can’t we have something like this? Here is an example of how this could work

The solution is “The Physical Web” a way to bridge physical devices and the web. At it’s core, its a simple means for devices, like a zip car, to broadcast a URL so any web enabled device can detect that URL and use it. Everything gains a web page. This unlocks the super power of the web and makes instant interaction possible. You completely remove the need to manage apps and most importantly, it’s so simple and light weight that it encourages new riskers products that wouldn’t have been considered before.
The flow is from the device to the phone to the cloud. It’s just the web, we’re trying to get users there as quickly as possible. But I get the same two questions every time: What’s the difference from a QRCode and what about SPAM?
In a sense we’re trying to create two clouds of things. The first is a cloud of standard devices that broadcast urls the exact way. We’ve started talking to the W3C about standardizing this packet so everything broadcasts URLs in exactly the same way.
However, the devices that listen can be broad and varied, just like browsers are today. They can try different ways of ranking, compete on that difference even. There can be wild variability there, as longs as all of the devices are broadcasting the same way.
But let’s be clear: the Physical Web is JUST getting the URL to the phone, all of the hard work is done in the cloud and using web sockets to talk to the device.
Now it’s true that this scenario requires connectivity through the cloud. This leads to my next question: isn’t that too complex/expensive? What most people don’t appreciate is the plummeting size/cost of GSM modems. This allows devices to arrive fully configured and on a private network, with no configuration by the user.
In a world where each device has it’s own connectively, the Physical Web makes it easy to discover each other and connect.
But by being built on the web, we just get better as the web gets better. Here is an example using ServiceWorker

and WebBluetooth in Javascript

our time horizon for innovation has become weeks not decades, we forget that the delta between netscape and Gmail was 10 years. It takes time for systems to build and mature.
The Physical Web started off, like many Chrome projects as and open source experiment. We’ve been amazed by the response, we are one of the top github repos at Google.
We’re very happy that both Opera and FirefoxOS are showing interest.
BTW, we are in Chrome for iOS right now! If you turn on the Chrome TodayView widget, you can be using the Physical Web right now. We hope to be shipping on Android in the near future.
We started off wanting to use the Physical Web for controlling complex devices but realized that smaller use cases were more interesting. This gets ever more interesting for personal uses: broadcasting your slides, finding your dog, or having more information in a “For Sale” sign.
But just as the web got better and better tools to express yourself (HTML pages to Blogger to Twitter) We expect the same things to happen with the Physical Web
Native apps are great, they’ll always have a role. Much like the “long tail” of the web, we see the same thing applying to devices. Each of these uses cases are moderately useful but taken together, they imply a long tail of interaction, where any user can walk up to any device and interact with it. This opens up a huge new interactive ability that products can use.
