If you want your WordPress website to be as fast as possible, you should start by updating the programming language that powers it's server-side logic.

Each new version of PHP is faster than the previous one. Plus it usually comes with patches for security vulnerabilities.

Here's how you can check it directly in your WordPress admin dashboard, and update it if needed through your hosting's settings:

I'm surprised that debate about the length of unskippable ads didn't originate from an European country.

If the access to information is treated like a basic #humanRight (as it should be), then regulation of #ads should definitely be imposed.

The argument that it will affect the already absurdly high revenue of #bigTech, is a poor one.

As for #ai, I'm not sure how easy it is to track the data apart from the referral percentage from their individual web locations.
