One month since the iGuRu.gr integration – SecNews.gr

In a few days we will close a month since the integration of iGuRu.gr into the SecNews site. Essentially we can say that the merger of the two websites has been completed, except perhaps for some details that are not and will not be visible on the screens of our visitors.

We would like to share with our reader friends – all of you who have supported us all these years some changes that have been made during this period, as well as some that will be made in the future.

Let's look in detail at what we have been occupied with recently:

ChangeLog

1. Transfer of all iGuRu.gr publications to the SecNews database .
2. Insertion of code for the automatic redirect from Google results that appear below the domain secnews.gr to the corresponding Secnews post after merging the databases.
3. Cleaning old and installing new plugins.
4. Cleaning the wp-options table from the trash of older installations and settings.
5. Cleaning the database from tables that were not used.

To Do

Naturally, the list of tasks that need to be done for optimizing the page and the experience you, the friendly users, experience is extensive.

One of the main topics that concerns us right now, besides your daily updates, is the stabilization of the CDN.

Changes such as improving the loading time of the page and its speed are issues that will be discussed and we will make sure they are resolved immediately afterwards.

What we would like from our side is for you to tell us what changes you would like to see made to ensure you receive the best possible experience. We look forward to your feedback.

Stay tuned!
