jack added a comment to T131: Sort HTTPS and make it available to everyone.

I'll throw in my favorite solution, which Skizzerz proposed the last time I spoke to him about this: Let's Encrypt SSL certificates for <lang code>.*.shoutwiki.com, i.e. fi.*.shoutwiki.com (possibly relevant: this StackOverflow question). Looking at /trunk/languages/i18n/, there are currently 371 files in there so it would mean about the same amount of SSL certificates, which admittedly is somewhat of an ops nightmare, but the renewal of Let's Encrypt certificates can be automated and I'm sure someone already made a script for that.
I would imagine that this is a solution that'll be painful to implement initially but which wouldn't need too much maintenance after that and it would allow us to keep the current URL structure.

Bouncepaw added a comment to T115: Optimize HTML-documents..

What do you mean by that? The feed stuff comes from MediaWiki core, so provided that it's not a configuration issue with ShoutWiki, we should report it upstream if it hasn't already been fixed there.

I heard that it is Chromium-specific error. See screenshot.

pasted_file (768×1 px, 357 KB)

The contents of the NewsBox are pulled from MediaWiki:Newsbox on the Interface Messages Wiki. It is true that the linked page is somewhat old and unfortunately named, but nevertheless we are always interested in hearing your thoughts!

To be honest, there aren’t any interesting things to link to them. Russian Wikia (and maybe others too) has monthly competition (users vote for best wiki on forum and on VK (Facebook analog) and staff votes too). I think, ShoutWiki needs competitions and other cool stuff.

This is partially true. However, I'm pretty confident we're not going to achieve a massive improvement in page loading times by removing all the spaces and whatnot from the source files. You're right in that optimization is needed, but I'd argue that back-end optimization will be more useful in the long run.

I found some whitespace-removing services. They removed 4KB from HTML. It isn’t much, I agree.

Looking at your site in particular, one third of the things Google has as a "Should fix" are actually nothing to do with us - your site loads an external stylesheet from Wikia which is yet another DNS lookup and request which has to be processed by their servers, and then rendered by your browser, after the stylesheet calling for it to be loaded has been processed by our servers.
