Performance and security topics in the web
The significance of website performance is constantly increasing. Over the past few years, I have been committed to enhancing website speed and security. The initial irony lies in the fact that this website is constructed using WordPress, a platform not particularly renowned for its speed or security. I am fully aware of this paradox. However, for the purpose of ease of use and experimentation, it has been built on WordPress. Notably, as of December 2023, 43.18% of websites on the internet were based on WordPress.
This website documents my journey and the things I am learning about while working in the field and in my free time. A significant focus in the recent time has also been on Microsoft Azure, including its tools like Azure DevOps, Pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (primarily Bicep).
Due to a lack of free time, my blog posts might not be the most comprehensive. However, I try to journal interesting findings and occurrences and to share knowledge across the world, as I also benefit a lot from other people sharing interesting solutions online.
