Web Page Best Practices

  1. Discuss with the webmaster before adding a WP plugin. Some plugins are really heavy and add a lock-in, so it will be difficult to remove them.

  2. When uploading images

    1. do not upload images larger than 2 MB
    2. give the files good names BEFORE uploading them, as a good file names is very important both for our own organization of the media library, and for SEO
    3. add the file to the right folder
    4. add all the attributes (alternative text, description)
    5. optimize it with Imagify

  3. When working in Nimble, you will normally want to use the "Nimble Builder Template". The default template will add a title to the page.

  4. When something does not work and looks shitty (especially on pages), it's very often the WP Rocket cache plugin. We can then remove features selectively from single pages.

    1. The most common candidates are JS-related
    2. But sometimes we might want to remove cache functionality all together

  5. If you create a page or post in one language, you ALWAYS need to create one in all the other languages, even if it is not accessible via the menu. The reason is that Google will crawl and then try to switch languages from each page, and will report an error if a translation is not available
