I was recently asked about object caching in WordPress and what that looks like on Kinsta. This blog pretty much sums up all the caching strategies available to the web in general but specifically to WordPress: kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-ca…

Not all records you’re happy about breaking: @Cloudflare recently mitigated the largest ever reported hyper-volumetric #DDoS attack. 3.8 terabits per second (Tbps) and 2.14 billion packets per second (Bpps). Handled automatically any without any customer impact. Details to come.
Always good to have perspective.
If you want to subscribe to just MotoGP and F1. That's R700 a month. DSTV streaming only is R799 and you get football, rugby, cricket, other racing, boxing and so much more.

What an absolutely beautiful, kind and classy tribute to Siya Kolisi by Squidge Rugby. This is not only a tribute to Siya but in some ways, a love letter to the Boks and maybe, just maybe, to us as South Africans too.
Been running our little business (side hustle called
@AutomateItZa) for a little over a year and finally getting into our groove.
We still do online orders for smart devices and I don’t know if that feeling of waking up to a sale will ever go away.
