The whole transformation journey has been framed not as a one-time episode bu...

 Site Owners Can Optimize Website Speed use this 10 ways 1. Use a content delivery network. A content delivery network, or CDN, is a system of servers distributed in different places around the globe, that deliver web content to each user based on their location. The usage of CDN will, of course, make it faster for visitors to see the page, wherever they are in the world. And that usually comes with your hosting provider. But if you don’t have it set up, make sure you ask your host about it. 2. Leverage browser caching. Caching is storing data in a temporary storage area (known as a cache). Browser caching is the process of storing data files on your computer when visiting sites. These files are downloaded from your browser and delivered to you in the form of a web page. But in reality, it’s a ton of images, CSS, scripts, html files, and more. That process of storing happens so that you can save bandwidth and reduce server load. And that’s why we are often pro...

 Why is there a Google Doodle in her memory? On her 151st birth anniversary, Google Doodle honours Cornelia Sorabji, India's first female advocate, who went against all odds to fight for her education, and then for the people who couldn't get a lawyer. Here is all you must know about her. While it is nothing new of Google to come up with artistic homepage designs in some great soul's memory every other day, more than often we don't know who (or what) they are talking about. Like today, on November 15, for example, Google is honouring Cornelia Sorabji with a doodle. How much do you know about her? India's first female advocate. Returning to India in 1894, Sorabji started fighting for the rights of Purdanashins; the Hindu women who were not allowed to communicate with any male apart from their husbands. Thus, those women were not able to communicate and fight for their own rights in courts. Women were also not allowed to fight in courts or be barr...
