• Ad Blockers Hiding ImagesWe rate this tip B tier: an image that vanishes for some visitors may be blocked by its file name alone. George Vanous lost one to a name starting "adsense-" in 2020; today's EasyList no longer blocks that name, but it still blocks others, such as any name containing "-728x90.".
• Buying an Aftermarket DomainWe rate this tip S tier: a listed price on a domain marketplace is an asking price, and an offer by phone can beat it. George Vanous's notes record a .gg domain listed at $8,540 that he bought for $6,700 in two days in July 2020, with the seller paid only after the domain was his.
• WordPress Cron on Every Page LoadWe rate this tip B tier: turn off WordPress's page-load cron with one line in wp-config.php and let the server's own cron call it on a schedule. George Vanous's host counted 27,272 requests for wp-cron.php in his logs, and his notes add a trap of their own, a plugin's cron script that only runs from crontab after a cd into its folder.
