Show HN: Website Performance Scanner Specifically for WordPress

https://scan.gethyperpress.com/

Hi HN, Kevin Gilleard here from GillyTech. I run a digital agency that deals with a lot of WordPress sites and have always been interested in optimizing my WP instances (going back 16 years).I love to find ways to optimize for speed, security and stability and found myself using a ton of different tools to do performance audits. GTmetrix and Google Page Speed Insights are my go-to's as a...

I'm 38 and 10x more productive than when I was 22. You'll be fine.

Do the hard work and seek headaches. Don't quit learning and practicing until the headache resolves. That builds your value.

The latter, the school boys, are nearly to a one on some kind of psychiatric drug.

Can you please explain your source for this work of fiction?

Regardless, the 2nd Amendment will not be repealed in our lifetimes and that's a fact.

School shootings in the USA have not been normalized at all. Our institutions and social degradation have caused these mass violence events. We've had an armed populace with very powerful guns for a long, long time. The elevated violence is not date coincident with more guns. Psychotropic drugs are though.

Remind me why we should be like England? We left there and fought a war with you for our independence. We celebrate it every year on 4 July.

Sorry this really is a weak argument. First of all, "free speech" is not and shouldn't be considered absolute. Freedom to express your ideas, yes. Freedom to be obscene? No.

We are not granted rights by the Government. We have natural rights and they are not to be infringed by the Government. That's how our Constitution is supposed to work and that's why we left England in the first place.

100% agree. Right now, when something "happens" I leave it alone for a couple days until the real information comes out. Remember the "terrorist attack" at the Rainbow Bridge on the Canadian border a couple days ago?

Speaking as an American, I can tell you that pictures of dead kids is not going to do anything to further the gun control agenda. Nobody but a madman supports murdering children. In fact, murder is illegal in this country, as is assault and brandishing firearms. These laws don't stop insane people from using weapons to murder people. Just like strict knife laws don't stop stabbing. The problem is society is degrading to a point where people are willing to take lives.

The more I see dead kids from a school shooting, the more I will advocate for armed guards at schools to help dissuade would-be shooters from attempting anything. I would also advocate for the abolition of "Gun-Free Zones" as they only advertise to criminals that nobody is likely to be armed in these areas.

Unfortunately history has shown us time and time again that oppressive leaders disarm their populations before subjecting them to horrific abuses of their power. We aren't falling for it again.

Anything these papers publish has an associated agenda. Big Journalism is not simply funded, it's purchased as an investment product.
Junk food manufacturers depend on the addictive nature of the sugar and fat they cram into their products. I don't see how this is any different than cigarette warning labels.

You got it exactly right. Simply stating a fact is not an attack on anyone. In any scientific inquiry one needs to consider all the similarities and differences in the data. Most notably, if HIV is spread through sexual contact, why was it most prevalent in gay men of a particular lifestyle in a particular place? If it were straight white Amish people that it was attacking, I would say the same thing.

Not that it matters, but my sister is gay and I am going to be in her wedding this October. I have a much more nuanced understanding of homosexuality as my twin falls into this category.

Marginalized people? What are you talking about? The first cases of AIDS was identified in homosexuals. That's a fact.

My position is not that there have been no breakthroughs in the treatment of HIV at all. My argument is that HIV does not cause AIDS.

When you don't have empirical evidence to support your fake claim that HIV causes aids then yeah, you need to go authoritarian. Hence endless government and para-government agencies dictating truth through biased and hopelessly flawed studies.

When your argument is built on BS you need to argue at the upper levels and never look at the foundation.

Have you not been paying attention? The AIDS drugs themselves were causing the AIDS symptoms.

Where are the untreated AIDS deaths? Show me ONE documented case of a person found dead from AIDS which was undiagnosed before death. ONE.

Well if this isn't more big pharma simp nonsense I'll lay it out.

The claim that HIV causes AIDS is fundamentally wrong. True, it was detected in the bodies of men in the late 70's who were on party drugs and "poppers" to dilate their rectums for gay sex.

These drugs and this lifestyle suppressed their immune systems so much they were sick and dying from pneumonia.

It was purported by the "consensus" of some medical authorities that it must be the HIV virus that caused the AIDS symptoms which spurred research and grant money toward the eradication and study of the virus. Any dissent from this was crushed by the head of the NIAID and "the science".

Who was the head of the NAIAD at the time of the first clinical trials of AZT (a failed anti-cancer drug that was repurposed to "treat" AIDS)? None other than Anthony Fauci himself.

AZT was so toxic to human life it killed AIDS patients 100% of the time. It became common that an HIV diagnosis was certain death because you were rushed on to AZT or another similar toxic poison that would guarantee your death. An AIDS death.

The Remdesivir scandal reminds me of this, as a matter of fact.

The trials for AZT were so poorly done they were thrown out by the AMA, yet the authoritarian view that HIV caused AIDS never went away.

Today it's a multibillion dollar grift with very convincing looking research coming out promising that a cure is "just around the corner".

Look, I am alive today because of modern medicine. I was born with a heart defect and my cardiologist and the Gore Cardioform Septal Occluder saved me from certain death from heart failure. I am VERY grateful to modern medicine in this regard.

HOWEVER, the drug cartels running the Western medical industrial complex are very clearly working in their own interests and not in the interest of the common good. There are evil people in high places raking off easy money and serving their friends.

So now questioning medical authoritarianism is racist?

I guess I'm not surprised.

Unless it threatens the medical cartel's profits and yacht ownership.
Yes the FDA is immune from all the harm id does the the population.
And I'm just gonna say it, Europeans are MUCH LESS happy than populations that don't drug away their feelings.
It's a multibillion dollar industry and 0 progress in the treatment of AIDS for decades.

Every 20 minutes they change their story about how HIV "causes" AIDS. They never question or look into any other possible correlation between patients with AIDS symptoms. None of the research conclusively proves HIV virus causes AIDS.

HIV is a retrovirus and there are no retroviruses in the world known to cause ANY symptoms of any kind in humans. SO how is this one retrovirus so deadly?

I like how you consider a claim credible (this PP drug is a scam) by the way of pointing out they lied for decades and raked in billions off SSRIs through false claims and intentional overprescription. But then your opinion changes because the very next claim does not comport with your version of reality.
Facts:

- They directly lied about the chemical imbalance in the brain theory for decades - They got America addicted to opioids - They have been lying about AIDS for decades - They intentionally suppress food quality and nutrition

Keep dreaming, it's another scam. The FDA is little more than a rubber stamp for hire and the principals all get sweetheart deals with drug companies after their tenure.

How many times do you need to be lied to and harmed until you start seeing things as they are?

Here we go again with another drug scam foisted on a vulnerable population.

Worldcoin puts off extremely bad vibes. I'm glad Africa is ejecting this mess.
