Several points were raised, including client feedback tools, plugin analytics, and innovative approaches in AI and content management. Insights into imposter syndrome, contributor retention, and the impact of large-scale email campaigns rounded out the key themes for web professionals working with WordPress.

Google updated their developer documentation on their crawl budget and there is so much in here. Google made some previously optional recommendations into hard requirements now.They defined HOSTLOAD as "the total amount of time your server spends holding connections open for Google, factoring in both the number of parallel connections and their duration." Which made my benchmark test come up against Dave Smart's server-side delay test which came to the conclusion that Googlebot says for more than 5 seconds.Who is right? Turns out we both technically are because we were testing different things.Googlebot renders for 5 seconds if its not waiting for anything.And the Googlebot can hit pause on the rendering and keep the browser on hold for 30 seconds.One tests for how long the rendering window is actively rendering and the other tests for how long Google will keep the browser on hold.Guess which one kills your Hostload?Mentioned in the show:Carolyn Holzman⁠linkedin.com/posts/carolynholzman_technicalseo-googlebot-webrenderingservice-activity-7427330476190834688-tMn_⁠David Smart⁠https://tamethebots.com/blog-n-bits/the-5-second-google-render-limit-myth⁠Last week's episode: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/googleagent-googles-secret-agent-with-a-key-season/id1547082306?i=1000778691905⁠Get on the waiting list for the next cohort of the AI Visibility Mastery 12-month course.

In dieser Folge nehmen wir uns eine Hörer-Frage vor und diskutieren, ob KI-generierte Websites per se schlechter für dein SEO sind als WordPress & Co. Dazu schauen wir uns an, wie KI-Websites aufgebaut sein müssen, um die SEO-Basics richtig abzudecken. Wir berichten aus unserer eigenen Erfahrung mit dem Erstellen und Optimieren eigener KI-Websites mittels Claude Code. Dabei zeigen wir dir, auf was du achten musst und geben dir eine ehrliche Einschätzung zum Einsatz von KI. Denn nicht für jeden ist es sinnvoll, eine Website mit KI zu erstellen. Denn: Du musst ganz genau wissen, worauf es im SEO ankommt, ansonsten fehlen wichtige Elemente auf deiner Website. Zusätzlich in dieser Folge: ▶️ Welche Basics wichtig sind ▶️ Auf was du unbedingt bei der Nutzung von KI achten musst ▶️ Wie KI im Vergleich zu WordPress abschneidet

Get your special hosting deal at https://pressable.com/wpminuteBecome a WP Minute Supporter & Slack member at https://thewpminute.com/supportThis is a tough time to find development work, and Eric's guest on The WP Minute+ podcast knows it all too well. Andrew Norcross is a seasoned developer, having run his own agency and led NASA's transition to WordPress. These days, he's looking for work. He doesn't use AI, and at least one potential employer has turned him down because of it. Is that fair?Eric and Andrew take a hard look at the job market for web professionals. You'll find insights into what AI can and can't do, the craft of coding, and the importance of critical thinking. They also examine how corporate culture often prioritizes speed over quality. It's a much-needed discussion that impacts all of us.Takeaways:The job market for web professionals is changing rapidly.AI is complicating the job search for developers.Andrew's journey into WordPress was accidental but transformative.Developers need to maintain critical thinking skills despite AI's assistance.Job interviews are increasingly focused on AI usage.The balance between using AI and preserving coding craftsmanship is crucial.Understanding client needs is a key part of development work.The coding profession requires problem-solving and creativity.Some developers now prioritize paychecks over passion for coding.The WordPress plugin ecosystem is facing saturation and declining sales.The future of work in tech is unpredictable and challenging.Developers are navigating a complex landscape of opportunities and risks.Important Links:Connect with Andrew: GitHub | LinkedIn | WebsiteFlashback: Read the outline of Andrew's WordCamp Philadelphia 2011 presentationThe WP Minute+ Podcast: thewpminute.com/subscribe ★ Support this podcast ★

For some reason, there has only been one other August 1 edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement and that was back in 2024 with a recount underway in the Fifth District Republican Primary. This is a podcast edition that provides audio versions of stories and thus does not count toward a total number of produced newsletters. That number is 1,374 which comes from 375 Week Ahead versions and 1,099 general ones. There have been 2,210 days since #1. Somewhere here in may be a relevant statistic, but the best I can come up with is 0.62.But what does it mean?In this edition:* Charlottesville City Council votes to move forward with a sales tax referendum this November (read the story)* Charlottesville City Council allocates funding from speed cameras to cover the cost of providing the service (read the story)* Albemarle Supervisors approve policy to streamline installation of solar roofs (read the story)* Albemarle supervisors seek tighter regulation of concentrated agricultural feed operations (read the story on C-Ville Weekly)* Charlottesville City Council briefed on efforts to lower speed limits, prepare new mobility plan (read the story)A sponsored message: Panorama Natural BurialAt Panorama Natural Burial, we believe caring for the deceased can be simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the natural world. As a natural burial ground just outside Charlottesville, we offer families an alternative to traditional burial that honors both the people we love and the land that will carry them forward.Whether you are planning ahead, navigating a recent loss, or are just curious about natural burial, we welcome the conversation. We host regular tours and community events throughout the year. At Panorama we are building new ways of understanding death, land, ecology, ritual, memory, and community. We believe that building community around death care helps us all to live fuller lives. We are open to the public daily 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Come visit!A shout-out for Town Crier Productions: Not entirely cut and paste from last week!It is Saturday and the final thing for me to do to end one week and begin another is to post this edition. The right move would be to produce the podcast version as soon as the WTJU version is completed, but that usually happens at a time when I want to stop working on a Friday.After six years, I have found ways to directly cover the cost of producing the written newsletter and the Information Charlottesville. I have absolutely no direct revenue from producing the audio version as the work for WTJU is free. I do the work because it's enjoyable. And I could just put the radio version in the podcast feed.I choose not to because of the sponsor above. In the last few months I've been experimenting with charging for advertising across multiple products. I'm happy to send the media kit to anyone upon request so you can see the details.I've also had at least one paid subscriber ask me if I could put all the shout-outs at the end. I cannot do that. If I'm to continue this newsletter I must diversify my revenue. I want to provide an affordable way for entities to reach an audience that I am still trying to understand myself.In any case, thank you for reading! And now the cut-and-paste bit intended to get your help in getting more eyes on the stories:* I post stories over at BlueSky but don't really do much else than that at this point. Here's the account for Information Charlottesville.* You can also subscribe to get Information Charlottesville postings via email Wordpress. This is where I confess I don't entirely know the link for this. Might be a pop-up?* Town Crier Productions has a Facebook page but I'm really not sure if it's worth keeping as the site doesn't really seem to like Substack material. Or Wordpress material. In six years of doing this, I've never had a post “go viral” and I think it's all throttled. I don't pay them any money anymore* And then there's Instagram which gets a couple of likes every now and then though I am really bad at images!Thanks for reading Charlottesville Community Engagement !

Intel Chat with Matt Bromiley and Chris Luft.Matt and Chris break down four stories from the week in threat intel:• Hugging Face's security incident disclosure: an intrusion conducted end-to-end by an autonomous AI agent system — a malicious dataset exploiting two code-execution paths, thousands of actions across short-lived sandboxes, self-migrating C2 — and why the forensics had to run on the open-weight GLM 5.2 model after hosted frontier models refused to analyze real attack artifacts.• WP2Shell: attackers chaining CVE-2026-60137 (WordPress Core SQL injection) with CVE-2026-63030 (Batch REST API logic flaw) for unauthenticated remote code execution on default WordPress installs — found by Searchlight Cyber using GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra in about ten hours, with tens of thousands of exploitation attempts following disclosure.• Data breaches at AI music generator Suno (55.3M unique email addresses, plus partial Stripe payment records) and gig-work platform Paidwork (23.3M addresses, password hashes and banking data), per Have I Been Pwned.• Iranian state media claims the IRGC destroyed AWS's Bahrain data center (ME-SOUTH-1) with cruise missiles — and what data centers becoming military targets means for cloud resilience.Plus: Google Threat Intelligence Group retires APT/FIN nomenclature for new threat-actor names, and where to find Chris and Matt at Black Hat.Stories covered:• https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026• https://www.darkreading.com/cyberattacks-data-breaches/wp2shell-millions-wordpress-sites-remote-takeover• https://www.securityweek.com/suno-paidwork-data-breaches-affect-tens-of-millions-of-accounts/• https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/data-centers/amazon-data-center-in-bahrain-struck-and-destroyed-by-iranian-cruise-missiles-state-media-claims-attacks-launched-against-aws-site-in-response-to-alleged-us-strikes-on-an-under-construction-nuclear-plantChapters:0:00 Intro & Black Hat plans2:07 Hugging Face's AI-agent breach disclosure12:39 WP2Shell: WordPress exploit chain20:59 Suno & Paidwork data breaches24:17 IRGC strikes on AWS Bahrain28:27 Google Threat Intel's new actor names29:29 Black Hat swag hunt & wrap-upThe Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast — a podcast about cybersecurity and the people that keep the internet safe.

Maciek Palmowski is on the podcast today to discuss his WordCamp Europe presentation on whether "secure hosting" lives up to its claims in the WordPress ecosystem. He described penetration tests of multiple providers, revealing that the majority of WordPress-specific vulnerabilities made it through hosts' defenses. He emphasised that simply seeing "secure hosting" on a landing page means little without WordPress-aware security layers. He also talks about the fact that different hosts using the same tools still produced different results, and that bold security claims in marketing often mask deeper shortcomings. The episode also touched on AI's amplification of threats and why transparent security conversations matter.

3,258 episodes and 3,113 days later. Phew.That first episode went out on 18 January 2018 and nobody heard it.There has been one most days since — through Christmases, a pandemic, becoming a dad and a long list of difficult days when stopping would have been the sensible choice because I was doing this in my 'spare time'. Whatever that is.Following a question I asked you recently and feedback from loads of you, publicly and privately, I've decided that EV News Daily will become ev.news on 1 August.The short version, for anyone who reads no further: the show does not change, the feed does not break, the pledge stays as it is and there is nothing to do.Why the change?The name began as a description. One short podcast, just the news, daily.In 2026 it describes less than it used to. There is now the original global news podcast, Briefly for those in a hurry, China, Specials, the written daily briefing here on Patreon and on evnewsdaily.comwhen I have time, and a YouTube channel I have restarted several times and never quite got right.But most importantly the show these days is all about explaining what the news means, rather than just repeating headlines."EV News Daily" is where this came from and in some ways it's tethering me to the past because I'm doing everything the way I used to, plus many new things bolted on.ev.news names a new thing. It is shorter, it survives being said out loud on air, it's better for search when someone looks for 'EV news' and it is easier to remember. The industry has changed beyond recognition in eight years, and this next stage feels like the moment to change with it.For those who asked - yes I have bought the ev.news domain, so the podcast will be matched by an online presence and email addresses. I also have managed to get 'evnews' as a username on Instagram and Threads. On Facebook, X, LinkedIn and more the handle/username will have to stay evnewsdaily, as evnews was taken long ago, but that's not a problem.It also sets an intention. The plan was never to stay a single creator with a microphone — though that remains an accurate description of most days since I quit my job, adopted two kids and started doing this full-time.I have a vision of a team working on this one day - perhaps someone on ev.news China, someone on a newsletter, someone who loves making video.What does it mean?Very little immediate change, and that is deliberate.- *The feed does not change.* Same Patreon, same RSS, same Apple, Spotify, etc. Nothing to re-subscribe to, nothing to fix. New artwork and a new name will turn up first.- *The ad-free feed continues.* Untouched. One of the best benefits of Patreon support and it stays.- *The pledge does not change.* Same tiers, same price, same platform. No restructuring, nothing to re-confirm.- *The show does not change.* Same format, same presenter attempting Chinese names.- *The website will be new.* evnewsdaily.com has never been a work of art but I enjoyed learning Wordpress. ev.news will be built to do the job properly: somewhere audio and video stop fighting each other, and somewhere a future newsletter could live natively.How can you help?A rebrand only makes sense when there is something worth putting a better name on.There is something here worth rebranding because you pay for it. Patreon legends covered the hosting and the kit through the years when the whole audience would have fitted in my spare bedroom, and it turned a hobby that lost money into something that could take itself seriously. There is a rebrand on 1 August because you decided a daily EV podcast was worth a few quid a month.So over the next few days I will share things as I make them: any new artwork, the site as it gets built, the bits that break and all the things I have not worked out yet. You have heard more of this show than anyone else, and you're in the best place to help me course-correct when I get it wrong.Thank you.3,258 episodes later, I don't know what comes next, but at least the first episode of ev.news won't just be me talking to myself!— Martyn

Join Nathan Wrigley, Michelle Frechette, Marc Benzakein, Zach Stepek. The conversation focused on major WordPress developments, including the release of WordPress 7.0.2 and its AI-discovered vulnerability, updates in WordPress 7.1 beta 3, and the introduction of new Gutenberg features like playlist and tabs blocks. A key theme that emerged was the growing impact, both positive and challenging, of AI in web development and security. The discussion explored WordPress market share trends, accessibility requirements for themes, community initiatives and events, and the launch of experimental tools like a Canva-like page builder and a WordPress browser extension. Several points were raised, including plugin performance and strategies for community engagement.

Choosing the right CMS isn't about picking the most popular platform - it's about asking the right questions. In this episode, Matt and Mike break down the framework they use before recommending a content management system for a new website. From understanding who will manage the site to evaluating budget, customization, maintenance, and long-term goals, they explain how different project requirements naturally lead to different solutions. Along the way, they discuss where platforms like WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and headless CMSs tend to shine, common mistakes developers make when choosing a CMS, and why there isn't a single "best" option for every website. Whether you're building a client website, launching your own business, or simply trying to decide which CMS to learn next, this episode will help you make more informed decisions.

A publisher with 10% monthly churn loses 70% of its subscribers in a year.In this episode, Pete sits down with Tyler from Newsletter Glue to break down subscriber churn, and where it actually starts. Tyler shares a real case: a publisher with a large subscriber base that grew for six years, then plateaued and started sliding. The cause wasn't pricing or content. They had never sent a single newsletter, not once, in six years.Newsletter engagement is one of the strongest predictors of retention. Subscribers who open newsletters regularly are about twice as likely to still be subscribed 12 months later. Pete lays out six concrete moves publishers can make to close the gap: drip campaigns for niche and news publishers, tracking quiet subscribers, fixing involuntary churn from failed payments, smarter cancel flows, cutting login friction, and pricing levers that reduce renewal pain points.What you'll learn:Why involuntary churn (failed payments) accounts for 20-40% of all churn, and how Stripe's payment intents plus services like ChurnBuster can cut it by 40% or moreHow The Moss Report's 18-email drip series onboards new readers like a course, and how the Wall Street Journal targets 100 days of engagementWhy niche publishers should package a drip series (not a single newsletter), while news publishers should build habit and routine around a fixed send timeHow personalization, like Mexico News Daily's opt-in regional editions, drives the highest engagement ratesWhy tracking "quiet" paid subscribers lets you intervene before they churn, and why archive content often outperforms fresh contentWhy the cancel flow matters: offering pauses, discounts, or downgrades before a subscriber leavesHow removing login friction with automatic login (Flowletter + Newsletter Glue) reduces support tickets and churnWhy monthly vs. annual pricing changes your churn exposure, and how tiered "good, better, best" plans give you a downgrade path instead of a cancellationResources mentioned:Newsletter Glue: newsletterglue.comLeaky Paywall: leakypaywall.comFlowletter: leakypaywall.com/flowletterList Builder: leakypaywall.com/list-builderLeaky Paywall Insights: insights.leakypaywall.comThe Publisher's AI Survival Guide (free): publisherrevenue.com/tool/the-publishers-ai-survival-guide/The Moss Report: themossreport.comMexico News Daily: mexiconewsdaily.comChurnBuster: churnbuster.io

#1006 Can you scale a business without losing yourself in the process? In part 2 of this two-part episode, Luka Petrovic returns to dig into the systems and mindset behind growing Sydney Music Lessons beyond himself. Luka gets candid about where he thinks AI can (and can't) help — like sourcing partnership leads, but never replacing human-led recruiting or relationship-building — and lays out his framework for separating "business maintenance" tasks from true growth tasks so owners can focus on the work only they can do. He also opens up about the software stack running his marketplace, why quality always wins over speed, and the importance of protecting your health and personal life so your business doesn't collapse alongside you. Luka closes with his best advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: list out everything you're good at, because your next business idea is probably already on that list! What we discuss with Luka: + AI's limits in relationship-based business + Business maintenance vs. business growth tasks + Recruiting and vetting quality teachers + Software stack: WordPress, Xero, Ahrefs, Google Ads + Scaling without losing personal quality control + Quality over speed when growing + Protecting health and work-life balance + Diagnosing and fixing business problems + Turning personal skills into a business idea Thank you, Luka!

A widespread and worrisome flaw in OpenSSL. Claude can now access your 1Password credentials. Bitwarden is aware that we need whole new security. The day ends in "y" so a new prompt injection attack.
