Here are sme questions and answers about my
site. Ckick on a question to see the answer.
Who created your site?
I did, from scratch, with a text editor.
What frameworks/libraries/APIs do you use?
None. Nothing on the client side, nothing on theserver side. Pure HTML and CSSwith a few lines of JavaScript on theclient side, and straight PHP with MySQL onthe server side, and that's it. I use no frameworks, no“libraries,” no extenal scripts, no externalCSS, no “APIs,” no font files, no cookies—andno AI. Everything is extremely simple.None of the garbage that bloats almost everysite on the web these days.
But your site is missing [insert current fad feature here]!?
So what? It’s content that counts—right? The page you are readng is literally a hundred times smaller than the average web page on the Internet these days. My site doesn’t even require JavaScript (although a few parts, such as the photo galleries, will use it if it’s enabled).
Most web sites are around 4 MB in size and may load two hundred files per page. Mine is about 0.2 MB in size and typically loads four or five files. Load time for my site is about 300 ms, compared to around 19,000 ms for more typical sites.
Why aren’t you using AI?
Why should I? AI doesn’t come within a million miles of my site. AI is for idiots and copyright infringers, and I am neither.
What external content do you use on your site?
None. At one time I was downloading custom fonts, initially from Google, until it dawnd on me that Google was using this to track visitors to my site. So I moved the fonts to my server and downloaded them from there. But I finally decided that custom fonts weren’t really that useful, so all custom fonts are disabled right now (look at the page source code and see for yourself).
I use very little JavaScript, and I wrote it myself, and I certainly do not load any third- party JS from external sites. Who knows what might be hidden in that external JS code?
I created all the images used on my site, too. Even most of the icons (such as the plus and minus icons you see next to these questions) are my own work, created in Adobe Ilustrator and incorporated as SVG elements.
By the way, I can reommend all three of these products wthout reservation, they are all excellent. SecureCRT and SecureFX, in particular, are second to none, and are among the most reliable and bug-free producs I’ve ever used.
Why are some sections in your table of contents grayed out?
I’m still renovating the site, so sections that I’d like to eventually rebuild are grayed out for now. The Reviews section is about the only part still waiting for renovation, but I will probably add more content thereafter.
How many visitors does your site receive?
Since 1997 ( years!), my site has received visitors. Currently it is receiving an average of about unique daily visitors—but probably less than one percent of them are human (the rest are bots, scanners, spiders, scrapers, crawlers, etc.).
