• Switch to Matomo for WordPress from Google Analytics

  10 mars 2020, par Joselyn Khor — Plugins, Privacy
  While Google Analytics may seem like a great plugin option on the WordPress directory, we’d like to present a new ethical alternative called Matomo for WordPress, which gives you 100% data ownership and privacy protection.

  Firstly what does Google Analytics offer in WordPress ?

  When you think of getting insights about visitors on your WordPress (WP) sites, the first thing that comes to mind might be Google Analytics. Why not right ? Especially when there are good free Google Analytics plugins, like Monster Insights and Site Kit. 

  These give you access to a great analytics platform, but the downside with Google Analytics is the lack of transparency around privacy and data ownership.

  

  Matomo Analytics for WordPress is an ethical alternative to Google Analytics for WordPress

  If you’re more interested in a privacy-respecting, GDPR compliant alternative, there’s now a new option on the WP plugins directory : Matomo Analytics – Ethical Stats. Powerful Insights. 

  It’s free and can be considered the #1 ethical alternative to Google Analytics in terms of features and capabilities. Why is it important to choose a web analytics platform that respects privacy ?

  

  Risk facing fines for non-GDPR compliance and privacy/data breaches

  In Europe there’s an overarching privacy law called GDPR which provides better privacy protection for EU citizens on the web. 

  Websites need to be GDPR compliant and follow rules governing how personal data is used or risk facing fines up to 4% of their yearly revenue for data/privacy breaches or non-compliance. Even if your website is based outside of Europe. If you have visitors from Europe, you can still be liable.

  

  In the US, there isn’t one main privacy law, there hundreds on both the federal and state levels to protect the personal data (or personally identifiable information) of US residents – like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). There are also industry-specific statutes related to data privacy like HIPAA.

  To protect your website from coming under fire for privacy breaches, best practise is to find platforms that are privacy and GDPR compliant by design. 

  When you own your own data – as with the case of Matomo – you have control over where data is stored, what you’re doing with it, and can better protect the privacy of your visitors.

  At this point you may be asking, “what’s the point of an analytics platform if you have to follow all these rules ?”

  The importance of analytics for your WordPress site

  • Figuring out how your audience behaves to increase conversions
  • Setting, tracking and measuring conversion goals
  • Being able to find insights to improve and optimize your site 
  • Making smarter, data-driven decisions so your company can thrive, rather than risk being left behind

  Analytics is used to answer questions like :

  • Where are your website visitors coming from (location) ?
  • How many people visit your website ?
  • Which are the most popular pages on your site ?
  • What sources of traffic are coming to your site (social, marketing campaigns, search) ?
  • Is your marketing campaign performing better this month compared to last ?

  Matomo can answer all of the above questions. BONUS : On top of that, with Matomo you get the peace of mind knowing you’re the only one who has access to those answers.

• Evolution #4462 (Nouveau) : Rendu du plan

  20 mars 2020, par jluc -

  Sur la page ?exec=plan on peut déployer l’arborescence des rubriques. Il y a toutefois un déficit d’indications visuelles sur cette possibilité car
  - lorsqu’on hover le nom d’une rubrique, le style change et on sait qu’on peut cliquer, mais lorsqu’on clique sur le nom d’une rubriques on est projeté vers la page de cette rubrique, dans le même onglet
  - il y a bien un minitruc pâlot triangulaire à gauche, mais il ne change pas de style au survol (à part le pointeur de la souris) et sa minitaille et son faible contraste n’invitent pas au survol, et le simple changement de curseur invite mal au clic. C’est pourtant lui qu’il faut cliquer pour déployer la rubrique.

  Il serait utile de bénéficier d’indications plus claires facilitant l’usage de l’arbre du plan.
  - peut être un ’+’ plus gros et plus contrasté que ce triangle
  - et en tout cas, un changement d’apparence au survol (+ un title ?)
  - une indication textuelle sur ce que permet cette page (le compagnon le fait il déjà peut être ?). Par exemple "Vous pouvez déployer les rubriques en cliquant le + ou le triangle à gauche, et vous pouvez déplacer les rubriques et leur contenu dans l’arborescence par glisser-déposer"

• ffmpeg azure function consumption plan low CPU availability for high volume requests

  27 novembre 2017, par The Lemon

  I am running an azure queue function on a consumption plan ; my function starts an FFMpeg process and accordingly is very CPU intensive. When I run the function with less than 100 items in the queue at once it works perfectly, azure scales up and gives me plenty of servers and all of the tasks complete very quickly. My problem is once I start doing more than 300 or 400 items at once, it starts fine but after a while the CPU slowly goes from 80% utilisation to only around 10% utilisation - my functions cant finish in time with only 10% CPU. This can be seen in the image shown below.
  Does anyone know why the CPU useage is going lower the more instances my function creates ? Thanks in advance Cuan

  edit : the function is set to only run one at a time per instance, but the problem exists when set to 2 or 3 concurrent processes per instance in the host.json

  edit : the CPU drops get noticeable at 15-20 servers, and start causing failures at around 60. After that the CPU bottoms out at an average of 8-10% with individuals reaching 0-3%, and the server count seems to increase without limit (which would be more helpful if I got some CPU with the servers)

  Thanks again, Cuan.

  I’ve also added the function code to the bottom of this post in case it helps.
