Sometimes the database might work slowly and one of the reasons is a large log file. Tracking database activity is crucial for performance and issues monitoring. However, the log file may grow and therefore may cause the performance issue because of more and more writing and reading on a larger and larger log file. We may avoid such problems by scheduling regular log rotation and keeping the log file size below a defined threshold. Let’s get started on figuring out how to address this issue.

Performance and accessibility are two important aspects of web development. Since they are related, optimising one might result in improvements in the other.

More resources to download also mean more data that needs to be transferred through the network and processed. Let’s explore the user and business impact and how this could be improved.

Accessibility focuses primarily on making websites usable for people with disabilities. However, many accessibility requirements also improve usability for everyone. For example, good color contrast means all users can see your content no matter what device they’re using or the lighting in their surroundings.

The click-through rate (CTR) can be influenced by the meta description. That is, they can impact whether a person visits your page. As a result, it is the critical on-page SEO factor.
