Not sure how I lived without it. 🤯
Long story short, I was just pointed out by the incredible guys at BigRedSEO that our site wasn’t loading with HTTP/2, which allows for multiple TCP requests to download at the same time. Having just enabled it, not only our WordPress install has gained significant speed, but the forum is FLYING. Everyone knows XenForo is fast, but with HTTP/2 enabled, it is so fast that I can barely even see a page refresh. This made my day.

Microsoft defended its cloud licensing rules against the UK’s CMA. They argue these terms aren’t unfairly squeezing competitors. Despite the tension, Microsoft strongly believes that Amazon and Google should appreciate the access to its software. They emphasized Google’s 29% rise in cloud revenue as proof that their fees are justified, compared to Amazon’s steep cuts on book sales. At the same time, Google and AWS are pushing for a fairer playing field.
