  1. Yes, it does add loading time. Screen Recording 2021-07-01 at 19.22.50.mov
  2. Depends on where you want to make the change? Is it in the profile or the profile card?
  3. You would need a way to get access to the images (don't think FB Devs allow apps that handle images anymore?) and then you can add it as widget or iframe content for example.
  4. Do you have Pages by any chance, so you can use a block in the widget space? You might also want to set the image as a background instead so you can have the image change with the width using background-size.
  5. I have S3, but I have no multi uploads. If you want I can set one up though and see if I can replicate the issue? Toss me a private message and I can duplicate your setup and make some test, or just give you admin access, so you can set it up yourself, if you need it.
  6. When I have had this issue, it needed a database fix. Throw in a ticket to support and have them take a look at it as it can build up if you are unlucky.
  7. There is a documentation for things under Help Guides at the top of this site. You probably want to start with Getting started with themes: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/themes-and-customizations/getting-started-with-themes_324/ There are gaps though, so if there is anything you can't find, just ask in the forum, and we'll do our best to answer as soon as we can.
  8. If I may, I would love to see a few updates to the Pages UI when working with templates and databases: Group Templates / Template sets - I tend to make quite a lot of templates for the different databases I have and while I can search for templates to locate the right group, it would be great if we could group sets of templates like we can with components and pages for example. This way I can add the 4 template groups into one set, or group all form templates into one group, to make it easier to find the set I am looking for. Template naming improvements - Right now all pages template names must be in lower caps when creating them. You can change this after creation, but it is still a bit annoying if you have a naming convention for all templates that you want to use. I suggest you separate the label and the ID so we can use labels any way we want, but the ID is still in lower caps format. Allow repositioning templates - If you accidentally place a template in the wrong place today, you have to delete the file and recreate it again in a new group. I suggest you change that so I can edit not just the name, but allow me to move or create a new group even if the file is created. Collapse all databases - at the moment all databases are listed in the left column with the three sections below. This makes things a bit cluttered and I would suggest that we list just the name of the databases and make it so you can expand each database to show the fields, categories and items under it. That would make it easier to scan for the right template when you have many. For extra points, you could add "collapse all" and "expand all" to quickly open or close all database sections. Alternate color rows for database fields - Right now all rows are white. This makes it a bit tricky to follow when you are on a big screen, and an alternate color styling would help that a lot. That would be all for now 🙂
  9. Someone should go in and change that topic since it has been resolved anyway. It confuses people to see this, so maybe we can summon the Almighty @Jordan Invision to help?
  10. There is something with the server that takes a very long time. The dns and ssl resolve look fine, but then it takes the server ages to respond. So I think you need to do internal checks to see what happens after the server get the request. I am guessing there is a latency in the resolve and also the database connection is probably slowing things up. Check the internal connectivity and make some tests to see just how fast things move after the initial request.
  11. Then we know it was a good suggestion 🙂
  12. Not true. It depends on what the keyword is. That is why long tail strategies exist that makes high rankings far easier. Speed is still just one factor so even if you load in a few milliseconds you will still not rank in the top 10 without offsite strategies. Content is still king and dwell time and quality of content still rank a lot higher than speed. This is why most companies spend money on offsite/onsite SEO or advertising over speed as long as speed is acceptable. For e-commerce for example they spend more time on CRO than speed and their biggest concern is always duplicate content, conversion funnel and landing pages with targeted offsite strategies. Even though 1 second will give a 15-30% less conversion on mobile in the first funnel that is still less of a concern than the other issues. Just to be clear: I have no objections against making Invision Community faster or more W3C valid. Everyone wins in that scenario 🙂 I admire you for having the energy to put into such an endeavor and whatever your end goal is I hope you achieve it.
  13. Very interesting and a nice flashback seeing Alexa rank 🙂 I though that died out years ago, but there you go 🙂 Ok, so you see a drop when your Alexa rank drops, that would be because some of the keywords you rank on drop down below the 25-30 top ranking I assume? The graph looks a bit odd though because it looks like you had a degrading situation for a while and then it jumped up? Are you sure you weren't in a Google filter during that time because it looks like you got back up to roughly the same levels, but still slightly lover from the previous peak? May I ask what speed difference you experienced on desktop and mobile after the upgrade? It seems strange that you have so many errors though. I have 6 errors on my site when checking and it is all my fault (hence very easy to fix) and this forum have 1 error (missing ALT). Nothing that should be a cause for any concern unless you are aiming for an AAA WCAG rating? I take it that my site that has no SEO or speed optimization also have these redirects, so would you mind pointing me to one so I see what kind of mayhem it's causing? Thank you for sharing, I find these things fascinating and very interesting!
  14. Welcome to the Invision Community Nick, glad to have you here and as you can see we like to help if we can so don't be a stranger and of course....enjoy your new Invision Community setup 🙂
  15. Do you by any chance have Cloudflare configured for this site, or tried it at one time? It looks like the frontend does not resolve properly and it actually takes 7 seconds for the server to respond. Once it responds things looks very fast, but there is something going on that locks the request for a while before it can get the server to respond.
  16. As a quickfix you can add two filter components. One above the database with show only in mobile and one to the right with show only on desktop. Just use the visibility feature to target properly. Otherwise, you probably need to change the markup from using flexbox to CSS grid so you can position the filter independently of the sidebar widget area.
  17. Not at all, I am just wondering if you are competing at the level where that actually will make or break anything for you? Onsite SEO is of course best practice that your software support, especially if you have a commerce application and page speed should be acceptable of course. Having the fastest site though will not give you the top spot in rankings, not even by a long shot. It is an edge against competitors only if their offsite SEO is on equal ground to yours. I have done quite a bit of work with CRO and I even teach Neurowebdesign, so I know the benefit of sales for even fractions of a second. So I understand page speed for sales, but for community sites speed is not as important (no, I don't mean slow sites are accepted, I mean very few people will care if the site loads in 1.1 second or 1.0 seconds, or even 2.5 to 2.0 seconds). For rankings, I see a lot of people put in a ton of work and money to go from a ranking of 12000 to 600 for example and then get sad when they realize that position 600 is pretty much the same as 12000 because no one will see it anyway. Is your focus with the pagespeed effort to convert more members, rank on certain keywords or do you have a conversion funnel for sales that I could not see on your site as a guest? Also, if you don't mind, the effort you put in how many positions did that earn you on your top keyword(s)? It would be really interesting to see the result of your hard work beyond just having a very snappy and fast website (looks great btw). I think that can help others when they consider putting the time, cost and effort into optimizing for speed. ...and no, I never ask myself why I have websites 🙂 I sometimes ask my clients, but I have websites for two reasons: I like to build things and I like to write. That is why most websites exist, which is the difference between a business oriented website and a hobby website for me.
  18. Pagespeed is always nice, but unless people complain, or you see loss of sales, how do you measure when you succeed or what the value is? Pagespeed comes with a cost often and sometimes that cost will be significantly higher than the benefit. SEO wise I don't see many professional SEO agencies focus much on that unless you are competing in the top 25 or so for specific keywords? So putting time and effort into shaving off 2 seconds in mobile view when you are at placement 600 is usually nice, but not really where focus should be? This is why I am always curious 🙂
  19. Maybe this will help? https://jimiwikman.se/ips/ips-customization/ips-pages/database-templates/category-list/show-cusom-field-with-condition-r3/
  20. May I ask why you care so much about these tests? Are you trying to grab an extra position or two or do you just want to have things in the green? Not trying to mock you or anything, just wondering what the end goal is for you to increase completion of these tests because I am always curious to learn what drives these type of completion chases.
  21. Not a bad idea. Tags already have landing pages, but we can't change slug or set a description. This would allow for plugin creation also to extend with more things on these pages. You have my vote 🙂
  22. Hi Jacob, I suggest you also check the IPS4 providers for help with this since they do not always see every request: https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers/ I think that you can find a nice theme and then most of the things you have on your list have plugins that you can use. For example you have VideoBox that works with videos and streaming: Pages will let you create pretty much anything you like in terms of content and you can set up a news section in a few minutes using just Pages and the amazing Pages Supergrid (or any other marvelous thing @opentype creates) If I had the time I would gladly help you, but unfortunately time is a bit limited for me right now.
