URLs and SEO URL Redirects
Same URLs
Allowed extensions
Canonical Links
Page Not Found
Robots, Google Sitemap and Google Analytics Thinking about multiple cultures would help with
this
HTML structures and syntax
Structured data e.g. Schema.org (https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/)
@ileshmistry | #KenticoConnection
Performance
Kentico documentation for speeding up the website
Web part performance best practice
Only render what is required for that section not unrequired items (e.g. non mandatory fields markup showing up)
Bad backend coding
@ileshmistry | #KenticoConnection
Performance SQL Debugger
Real time SQL debugging
Looking at columns you needto use and not all
Different places to view it
Performance benefit
You know what to do when you have finished with it!
@ileshmistry | #KenticoConnection
Performance SQL Debugger
Under Debug SQL Queries
Example of a Hierarchical Viewer withmultiple Page Types
@ileshmistry | #KenticoConnection
Performance KInspector
@ileshmistry | #KenticoConnection
Performance - Recommendations
I would recommend to always check the SQL Debugger / Kinspector
Then if things look bad, use the web part with SQL Query in them so you define what the query / data source is and it is not something you just let Kentico handle
There are always and will be different scenarios to use some options over others, it all depends per project
@ileshmistry | #KenticoConnection
Caching What are you
going to cache?
Main types Output caching Partial Caching CacheHelper.Cache
Debugging cache
Output cachesubstitutions
To cache or not to cache that is the question
@ileshmistry | #KenticoConnection
private void BindGridCachedSection(){
DataSet ds = null;using (CachedSection<DataSet> cs = new CachedSection<DataSet>(ref
ds, new CacheSettings(60, "UsersDataset"))){
if (cs.LoadData) { ds = LoadUsersFromDB("UserEnabled=1"); }}grid.DataSource = ds;grid.DataBind();
}
private void BindGridTheBest(){
grid.DataSource = CacheHelper.Cache(() => LoadUsersFromDB("UserEnabled=1"), new CacheSettings(60,
"UsersDataset"));grid.DataBind();
}
