Just two weeks ago, my website had been hacked and what drove me crazy was I couldn't find out what was wrong, or which files were been hacked. All I knew was the site had been marked as containing malicious code by Google and hence visitors could not get to my site, which in another words, my site was blocked by Google!
Today I was reading Google's Webmaster Guideline regarding content duplication on the Internet and steps that Google advise webmasters to take care if the situation applies. It's quite interesting as I did not know some of these facts.
Today I was testing the loading time of my site, which I sometimes find it slow to access especially the first time loading. I knew there are a lot of images to be loaded especially those in portfolio sections but I also found that the biggest loading item seems to be ScriptResource.axd from Ajax. It was 330kb!
I have been using StatCounter, as my website tracking statistic provider for many many years, even after Google Analytic came out. I liked Google Analytics but there is just one thing that Google can't provide that StatCounter does and that is the most useful piece of information I get from the stat.
