    @phenomlab of course, to be recognised is fantastic. @phenomlab said in Ch..ch..ch..ch..changes!: Sadly, no. Web crawlers and scrapers are often JS based and read text only, so styles don’t have any bearing. I’ve read mixed things about this, but no that does make sense, it was something I read a many years back when using Wordpress.

    @cagatay these changes aren’t published anywhere presently, so nothing for you to do.

    @veronikya it might flicker on load, yes, and that’s normal. It’s because the CSS and JS are loaded before the custom elements, but it shouldn’t be too bad on reasonable links. It shouldn’t flicker at all navigating through the site though as the CSS and JS are already loaded.

    I was experiencing 500 (Internal Server Error) responses from the proxy, visible in the browser console: GET https://proxy.xxx-xxx.net/ogproxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fzupimages.net%2Fup%2F26%2F16%2Fld8h.jpg 500 (Internal Server Error) After investigation, I found two root causes: 1. Direct image URLs being sent to the proxy The custom JavaScript responsible for detecting links and sending them to the proxy was using the following regex to exclude direct image links: var fileExtensionPattern = /\.(png|jpeg|gif|pdf|docx?|xlsx?|pptx?|zip|rar|svg)$/i; Note that .jpg and .webp were missing from the pattern. As a result, links ending in .jpg were not recognized as direct image URLs and were forwarded to the OGProxy, which then tried to scrape them as web pages using open-graph-scraper — causing a 500 error. The fix was to add the missing extensions: var fileExtensionPattern = /\.(jpg|png|jpeg|gif|pdf|docx?|xlsx?|pptx?|zip|rar|svg|webp)$/i; 2. The proxy not following HTTP redirects Some image hosting services (e.g. zupimages.net) return a 301 redirect from the bare domain to www. When curl follows the redirect manually the image loads fine: curl -IL https://zupimages.net/up/26/16/ld8h.jpg HTTP/2 301 → https://www.zupimages.net/up/26/16/ld8h.jpg HTTP/2 200 However, the proxy’s axios.get() call does not handle this gracefully when open-graph-scraper is involved, resulting in a 500 error being returned to the client. My questions are: Is there a known best practice for handling redirect chains in open-graph-scraper? Would passing maxRedirects or followRedirect options explicitly to axios or ogs fix this reliably? Is there a cleaner way to pre-filter direct image/file URLs before they reach the proxy, ideally at the NodeBB plugin level rather than in custom JS? Thanks in advance.

    @mventures the swatch feature you refer to isn’t a NodeBB plugin, but a utility that I wrote that handles this. It is available for v2 (as you can see here) but I’ve stopped developing and releasing the code because it has been entirely rewritten to work for v3. If you’d like the code, this is possible, but you’ll need to upgrade to v3 first.

    @Madchatthew True. I think this is the reason as to why most Open Source projects are abandoned because they are not sustainable in the long-term.

    Just coming back to this thread for review (as I often do), and it looks like Webdock have increased their available offerings - some are extremely powerful, yet very competitive from the pricing perspective. [image: 1692559685163-7cf9a928-ac21-44fe-99c6-90439030d631-image.png] 10 CPU cores, plus 20Gb RAM? Well worth a look (and the asking price) - there’s also a fixed IP which is hugely beneficial. Clearly, this is well beyond what most people will want to spend - it’s more of an example (but interestingly, Sudonix runs on something not too different from the above). However, not all that glitters is gold - just have a walk through the benchmark report I found below and you’ll see a huge difference between Heztner and Webdock https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/compare/hetzner_vs_webdock That being said, the amount of HTTP requests that Webdock handles in relation to Hetzner is superior - @DownPW you might want to have a look at this - there’s a free 24 hour trial… [image: 1692560710486-5203639b-2f62-47e6-b87b-37580ce5deae-image.png]
