HashCash Web Worker Revolution
I'm excited to announce the release of Captcha - HashCash version 5.5.0 – a major upgrade that finally banishes one of the last remaining pain points using a web worker: UI freezes during high-difficulty proof-of-work calculations.
If you've ever cranked up the difficulty (or enabled "punish" mode for detected bots) and watched your form page turn into a beach ball spinner... this update is for you. Joomla deserves a world-class CAPTCHA, and this plugin is the real deal.
WebGL Backgrounds for Faster Page Loads
As webmasters, we’re constantly on the lookout for ways to improve site performance and enhance user experience without sacrificing visual appeal. Animations, while engaging, often come with a hefty price in terms of file size and bandwidth, leading to slower page loads and potential SEO drawbacks. Enter WebGL, a powerful technology that can revolutionize how we handle animations on the web. By leveraging the GPU for rendering, WebGL, combined with shaders, offers a lightweight alternative to traditional formats like AVIF, WebP, GIF, and MPEG-4, significantly reducing load times. In this article, we’ll explore how to use WebGL for animations, address common performance pitfalls, and provide actionable strategies to optimize your site for speed and accessibility.
Generator Tag: Claim Your Joomla Sites
You build websites. You pour hours into custom themes, tweak extensions, and optimize every line of code. But how do you prove it's yours? A footer credit? Too obvious. A hidden comment in the HTML? Clunky and easy to miss. Enter the generator meta tag. It's sitting there in the head of most Joomla pages, whispering the site's origin story to anyone who peeks at the source code. By default, it shouts "Joomla! 5.x.x" or whatever version you run. Useless for SEO, sure. But ripe for repurposing.
