Flarum - WordPress Journey

WordPress

  • @Sala the site looks really good, I must say. It’s also very responsive. And, I can definitely align with your experience of SEO on Flarum. As an ex user of that platform, I landed up with exactly the same issues in the sense that no posts etc were being indexed.

    Since moving to NodeBB, I’ve not had any issues at all. In fact, with almost zero effort on my part, this site is being indexed frequently and it takes literally just a few hours before posts appear in Google’s search results.

    I think a lot of people are being drawn in by Flarum only to realise after significant investment that it has a number of pitfalls and insurmountable issues. One such show stopper for me was the complete lack of GDPR functionality.

    Since moving out of the Flarum ecosystem, I haven’t looked back.

    @phenomlab yes it’s utterly laughable now, and one thing that had made me to join flarum was because of people like you. The community appeared to have experts you know by considering the age, but when you left, many questions started to come up, and when Billy site changed to something else, i knew for non expert like me, theres something wrong.

    If again we join any forum, it’s better we raise awareness like the way you did for Gdpr, the way the only way our eyes were opened

    @Sala Interesting. What happened to Billy? Doesn’t seem like he’s posted since early October - did he leave ?

    @Sala caching everything at Cloudflare will cause you serious issues - particularly anything session related such as logins, checkouts etc.

    I note you are using wp-rocket - you should ensure that you are using the recommend Cloudflare settings for this plugin, and you should also bypass the cache in Cloudflare for anything relating to session information, for example, URLs matching /login, /register, /checkout etc.

    Without these exceptions to caching, you’ll have issues with user sessions meaning unexpected and undesired behaviour.

    The simple message here is that caching everything is more hassle and pain than it is worth.

    @phenomlab thank you! no need to worry, because i dont use CDN.

    How to reduce the 1.5 to at least 1.2 is killing me. Another way maybe i should wait a couple of days and test again

    @Sala ok, can you provide a waterfall from the site (you can get this from GTMetrix) that provides a detailed breakdown of your site? TTFB is typically affected by multiple factors, so it would be interesting to get an idea of what is causing this.

    @Sala Your ttfb actually isn’t that high at all - see below

    3a1d080b-8132-4036-ba04-fb6ac3ebcd71-image.png

    https://www.bytecheck.com/results?resource=https%3A%2F%2Fsopriza.com%2F

    Where are you testing from, and where is the server based? Both of these will have quite an impact on ttfb and overall performance.

    For example, tested from London

    @Sala Not sure you can blame someone else for an extremely poor choice of website colors. That can only be a personal choice, but won’t be appreciated by everyone who visits the site.

    @phenomlab you don’t know yet. It needs a kickback spirit and courage to rethink of coming up with something better. A master in bbcode do you think is not able to color that? Hahaha , its purely signs of broken heart. Where do we know Kyle went? come to think 🤔

    @Hari the real issue here is that I don’t think it can be used as a theme for WordPress because of the dependencies it clearly has, including its own Web server. My view here is that this is designed to be a complete development environment outside of the WordPress core.

    Yes, I am aware that if users are given the option to enter alt text, some may do so in an abusive manner. For the time being, we’ve adjusted the php script to generate the alt automatically, thus there are no longer any SEO problem with alt images.

    @hari the cache level for woocommerce should always be bypass. Any caching of woocommerce will cause you serious issues and will result in the checkout process not functioning correctly. This does mean that the overall experience will be slower (depending on geographic location) although CF is known to cause significant issues hence the need to bypass. If you want to cache as much as possible, then set rules to bypass caching on the cart and account pages etc.

    @jac That won’t matter. You just redirect at nginx or apache level and it’ll work. The generally accepted standard though is to use a subdomain.
