WP AutoLoader now is officially compatible with WordPress 5.9. Please remember, an exact version match is not critical. We have tested WordPress 6.0 and it works just fine as well! What is WP AutoLoader? WordPress is largely built upon procedural functions. PHP natively supports autoloading for classes but not procedural functions. This means that WordPress […]
WordPress’ core loads and compiles ~2000 PHP functions and 90 classes on each page request. So the next time you load your WordPress powered homepage that’s how many PHP functions and classes are being compiled and executed (appropriately) to show you the contents you see. Now keep in mind, all this is only the server […]
You already have all the recommended WordPress optimization plugins installed; you’re using AWS beanstalk and have plenty of load distribution services setup; and your website seems to be running at near-optimal levels.

In a previous post I did provide a walk through of how a basic HTTP request gets processed when you try to access a website like WikiPedia.

While I was considering joining the team, I decided to go deeper into the world of Javascript. Many programmers will tell you they have trouble understanding JS. It was after reading this book by Darren Jones, […]
In our last post we shed some light on how SQL is a language used to communicate with relational databases. Relational databases, we said, are storage servers that carry collections of linked tables like: EMPLOYEE TABLE ————————————– | id | name | email | ————————————– | 1 | Joe D. | info@domain.com | ————————————– ADDRESS […]
For IT experts things are getting heated up as they must embrace the possibility of adopting NoSQL. All that I knew of it until last summer was that Google and Facebook back it. But what is NoSQL? How does it work? Is it stable? Its real-life applications, please? Last year while investigating data storage formats […]
Checkout our own PHP framework designed for secure web application: Dotz Framework. As a manager of a technical project it’s good to know fundamentals of information security and good security practices even if you’re not one of the developers.
