Websites, SEO, and redirect questions

Sparkum

The url would move move from www.okotokscakes.ca/cakegallery/cakes to www.okotokscakes.ca cakes but where the pictures are stored would not.

scottalanmiller

The pictures are stored in the folder rather than in a single media location? Are you not using a content management system?

Sparkum

@scottalanmiller
I'm gonna go with no.

There simply stored in folders.

Reading up on it right now though.

Oh man, move to WordPress right now. All of your headaches are coming from trying to hand build what everyone else gets right out of the package. No one has built websites like you are doing from nearly a decade. There is so much power in a CMS and all of the hard work is done for you. And things like SEO are considered from the beginning.

scottalanmiller

Even without a CMS, you would put your images all in a single location like /media so that no matter what changes, the image locations never do.

Sparkum

Ya they are in /media

So no matter what you change in your folders, the image locations won't be changing.

Isn't Wordpress also one of the most hacked webpage type?

Dashrender

I'm only familiar in making webpages in the same way that @Sparkum is... clearly we are both way out of touch.

Sparkum

@scottalanmiller

Oh ok sorry then yes I am completely using a CSM!

Sparkum

@Dashrender

Sorry nope not on the same boat as you, just have no idea what I'm talking about haha.

Currently looking into Boilerplate for a random task at work though, slightly more towards how you probably know I assume

Sparkum

By that definition, is Windows the most hacked OS?

That's kinda a given.

Now the question is, are there more windows computers in the world or linux ones? (server and home users both are part of this question)

according to this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems
Linux by far - which makes sense when you consider Android phones/tablets/etc

Just think about all the websites out there. I'm sure a vast majority of them run on Linux or Unix. Very few run on Windows.

Are there more websites on the internet than people on the planet? How about this, are there more websites on the internet than connected people on the internet? Probably not, probably not by a long shot.
Plus when you consider that a single webserver can host hundreds or more websites, you're reducing the number of linux boxes you need to run those websites.

I'd guess there are probably more websites then people connected to the internet. I'm not sure though I wonder if there is stat for that somewhere. You're right about the webserver thing though...
