A new blog just landed - fixing an issue with slow page load speeds due to querying the Member Service in #Umbraco

Missed the Umbraco community chats? They’re back 💙

After a pause since December, Community Hour returned last week and now takes place every other Wednesday from 12:00 to 13:00 GMT and 13:00 to 14:00 CET.

There is no fixed agenda, and that is very much part of the charm! Most of the time, it is simply a friendly hour to share ideas, swap stories, and enjoy a bit of lunchtime community magic ✨

If that sounds like your kind of break, join in next on April 8 at https://www.meetup.com/umbraco-virtual/events/313849926/

#Umbraco

Securing @Umbraco media doesn't always need complex packages.

We just implemented a custom .NET middleware that intercepts all /media requests. If the request is missing our custom auth header, it's an immediate 401.

Clean, fast, and keeps the private assets private.
