Low key tearing up because I found yet another screen reader inaccessible ebook website. I just want to read. Is that too much to ask? All I want is to be able to open a website and be able to read it.

Making text screen reader accessible is the easiest thing in the world. You have to do literally nothing. It’s text. Screen readers are literally build to read text on a screen.

If you’re a total noob who knows nothing about HTML and you just put your text in your document, nothing else, it’s accessible. You put it in a <p> tag? Accessible. Span? Div? All accessible. You can fucking echo it in a PHP file and it will be accessible.

Text is literally accessible by default. How do all these people manage to fuck it up so bad????? I wouldn’t be able to do that if I tried!

The only consistently accessible literature website, if you can call it that, is AO3. Fan fiction is great. I love fan fiction, but I don’t want to read only fan fiction. There’s a long list of books I want to read – fiction, but especially non fiction.

And there’s a long list of websites where these books are available, both legitimate and piracy. And yet! And yet I cannot read them, because I am disabled. Because I do not read with my eyes, but with my screen reader. Because nobody cares about us enough to even consider us when building and formatting a website. Because nobody cares about us enough to do a single manual test or run a free accessibility checker extension.

I just want to read. Is that too much to ask?

Vibecoding a production app

TL;DR I built and launched a recipe app with about 20 hours of work - recipeninja.ai

Background: I'm a startup founder turned investor. I taught myself (bad) PHP in 2000, and picked up Ruby on Rails in 2011. I'd guess 2015 was the last time I wrote a line of Ruby professionally. I've built small side projects over the years, but nothing with any significant usage. So it's fair to say I'm a little rusty, and I never really bothered to learn front end code or design.

In my day job at Y Combinator, I'm around founders who are building amazing stuff with AI every day and I kept hearing about the advances in tools like Lovable, Cursor and Windsurf. I love building stuff and I've always got a list of little apps I want to build if I had more free time.

About a month ago, I started playing with Lovable to build a word game based on Articulate (it's similar to Heads Up or Taboo). I got a working version, but I quickly ran into limitations - I found it very complicated to add a supabase backend, and it kept re-writing large parts of my app logic when I only wanted to make cosmetic changes. It felt like a toy - not ready to build real applications yet.

But I kept hearing great things about tools like Windsurf. A couple of weeks ago, I looked again at my list of app ideas to build and saw "Recipe App". I've wanted to build a hands-free recipe app for years. I love to cook, but the problem with most recipe websites is that they're optimized for SEO, not for humans. So you have pages and pages of descriptive crap to scroll through before you actually get to the recipe. I've used the recipe app Paprika to store my recipes in one place, but honestly it feels like it was built in 2009. The UI isn't great for actually cooking. My hands are covered in food and I don't really want to touch my phone or computer when I'm following a recipe.

So I set out to build what would become RecipeNinja.ai

For this project, I decided to use Windsurf. I wanted a Rails 8 API backend and React front-end app and Windsurf set this up for me in no time. Setting up homebrew on a new laptop, installing npm and making sure I'm on the right version of Ruby is always a pain. Windsurf did this for me step-by-step. I needed to set up SSH keys so I could push to GitHub and Heroku. Windsurf did this for me as well, in about 20% of the time it would have taken me to Google all of the relevant commands.

I was impressed that it started using the Rails conventions straight out of the box. For database migrations, it used the Rails command-line tool, which then generated the correct file names and used all the correct Rails conventions. I didn't prompt this specifically - it just knew how to do it. It one-shotted pretty complex changes across the React front end and Rails backend to work seamlessly together.

To start with, the main piece of functionality was to generate a complete step-by-step recipe from a simple input ("Lasagne"), generate an image of the finished dish, and then allow the user to progress through the recipe step-by-step with voice narration of each step. I used OpenAI for the LLM and ElevenLabs for voice. "Grandpa Spuds Oxley" gave it a friendly southern accent.

Recipe summary:

And the recipe step-by-step view:

I was pretty astonished that Windsurf managed to integrate both the OpenAI and Elevenlabs APIs without me doing very much at all. After we had a couple of problems with the open AI Ruby library, it quickly fell back to a raw ruby HTTP client implementation, but I honestly didn't care. As long as it worked, I didn't really mind if it used 20 lines of code or two lines of code. And Windsurf was pretty good about enforcing reasonable security practices. I wanted to call Elevenlabs directly from the front end while I was still prototyping stuff, and Windsurf objected very strongly, telling me that I was risking exposing my private API credentials to the Internet. I promised I'd fix it before I deployed to production and it finally acquiesced.

I decided I wanted to add "Advanced Import" functionality where you could take a picture of a recipe (this could be a handwritten note or a picture from a favourite a recipe book) and RecipeNinja would import the recipe. This took a handful of minutes.

Pretty quickly, a pattern emerged; I would prompt for a feature. It would read relevant files and make changes for two or three minutes, and then I would test the backend and front end together. I could quickly see from the JavaScript console or the Rails logs if there was an error, and I would just copy paste this error straight back into Windsurf with little or no explanation. 80% of the time, Windsurf would correct the mistake and the site would work. Pretty quickly, I didn't even look at the code it generated at all. I just accepted all changes and then checked if it worked in the front end.

After a couple of hours of work on the recipe generation, I decided to add the concept of "Users" and include Google Auth as a login option. This would require extensive changes across the front end and backend - a database migration, a new model, new controller and entirely new UI. Windsurf one-shotted the code. It didn't actually work straight away because I had to configure Google Auth to add `localhost` as a valid origin domain, but Windsurf talked me through the changes I needed to make on the Google Auth website. I took a screenshot of the Google Auth config page and pasted it back into Windsurf and it caught an error I had made. I could login to my app immediately after I made this config change. Pretty mindblowing. You can now see who's created each recipe, keep a list of your own recipes, and toggle each recipe to public or private visibility. When I needed to set up Heroku to host my app online, Windsurf generated a bunch of terminal commands to configure my Heroku apps correctly. It went slightly off track at one point because it was using old Heroku APIs, so I pointed it to the Heroku docs page and it fixed it up correctly.

I always dreaded adding custom domains to my projects - I hate dealing with Registrars and configuring DNS to point at the right nameservers. But Windsurf told me how to configure my GoDaddy domain name DNS to work with Heroku, telling me exactly what buttons to press and what values to paste into the DNS config page. I pointed it at the Heroku docs again and Windsurf used the Heroku command line tool to add the "Custom Domain" add-ons I needed and fetch the right Heroku nameservers. I took a screenshot of the GoDaddy DNS settings and it confirmed it was right.

I can see very soon that tools like Cursor & Windsurf will integrate something like Browser Use so that an AI agent will do all this browser-based configuration work with zero user input.

I'm also impressed that Windsurf will sometimes start up a Rails server and use curl commands to check that an API is working correctly, or start my React project and load up a web preview and check the front end works. This functionality didn't always seem to work consistently, and so I fell back to testing it manually myself most of the time.

When I was happy with the code, it wrote git commits for me and pushed code to Heroku from the in-built command line terminal. Pretty cool!

I do have a few niggles still. Sometimes it's a little over-eager - it will make more changes than I want, without checking with me that I'm happy or the code works. For example, it might try to commit code and deploy to production, and I need to press "Stop" and actually test the app myself. When I asked it to add analytics, it went overboard and added 100 different analytics events in pretty insignificant places. When it got trigger-happy like this, I reverted the changes and gave it more precise commands to follow one by one.

The one thing I haven't got working yet is automated testing that's executed by the agent before it decides a task is complete; there's probably a way to do it with custom rules (I have spent zero time investigating this). It feels like I should be able to have an integration test suite that is run automatically after every code change, and then any test failures should be rectified automatically by the AI before it says it's finished.

Also, the AI should be able to tail my Rails logs to look for errors. It should spot things like database queries and automatically optimize my Active Record queries to make my app perform better. At the moment I'm copy-pasting in excerpts of the Rails logs, and then Windsurf quickly figures out that I've got an N+1 query problem and fixes it. Pretty cool.

Refactoring is also kind of painful. I've ended up with several files that are 700-900 lines long and contain duplicate functionality. For example, list recipes by tag and list recipes by user are basically the same.

Recipes by user:

This should really be identical to list recipes by tag, but Windsurf has implemented them separately.

Recipes by tag:

If I ask Windsurf to refactor these two pages, it randomly changes stuff like renaming analytics events, rewriting user-facing alerts, and changing random little UX stuff, when I really want to keep the functionality exactly the same and only move duplicate code into shared modules. Instead, to successfully refactor, I had to ask Windsurf to list out ideas for refactoring, then prompt it specifically to refactor these things one by one, touching nothing else. That worked a little better, but it still wasn't perfect

Sometimes, adding minor functionality to the Rails API will often change the entire API response, rather just adding a couple of fields. Eg It will occasionally change Index Recipes to nest responses in an object { "recipes": [ ] }, versus just returning an array, which breaks the frontend. And then another minor change will revert it. This is where adding tests to identify and prevent these kinds of API changes would be really useful. When I ask Windsurf to fix these API changes, it will instead change the front end to accept the new API json format and also leave the old implementation in for "backwards compatibility". This ends up with a tangled mess of code that isn't really necessary. But I'm vibecoding so I didn't bother to fix it.

Then there was some changes that just didn't work at all. Trying to implement Posthog analytics in the front end seemed to break my entire app multiple times. I tried to add user voice commands ("Go to the next step"), but this conflicted with the eleven labs voice recordings. Having really good git discipline makes vibe coding much easier and less stressful. If something doesn't work after 10 minutes, I can just git reset head --hard. I've not lost very much time, and it frees me up to try more ambitious prompts to see what the AI can do. Less technical users who aren't familiar with git have lost months of work when the AI goes off on a vision quest and the inbuilt revert functionality doesn't work properly. It seems like adding more native support for version control could be a massive win for these AI coding tools.

Another complaint I've heard is that the AI coding tools don't write "production" code that can scale. So I decided to put this to the test by asking Windsurf for some tips on how to make the application more performant. It identified I was downloading 3 MB image files for each recipe, and suggested a Rails feature for adding lower resolution image variants automatically. Two minutes later, I had thumbnail and midsize variants that decrease the loading time of each page by 80%. Similarly, it identified inefficient N+1 active record queries and rewrote them to be more efficient. There are a ton more performance features that come built into Rails - caching would be the next thing I'd probably add if usage really ballooned.

Before going to production, I kept my promise to move my Elevenlabs API keys to the backend. Almost as an afterthought, I asked asked Windsurf to cache the voice responses so that I'd only make an Elevenlabs API call once for each recipe step; after that, the audio file was stored in S3 using Rails ActiveStorage and served without costing me more credits. Two minutes later, it was done. Awesome.

At the end of a vibecoding session, I'd write a list of 10 or 15 new ideas for functionality that I wanted to add the next time I came back to the project. In the past, these lists would've built up over time and never gotten done. Each task might've taken me five minutes to an hour to complete manually. With Windsurf, I was astonished how quickly I could work through these lists. Changes took one or two minutes each, and within 30 minutes I'd completed my entire to do list from the day before. It was astonishing how productive I felt. I can create the features faster than I can come up with ideas.

Before launching, I wanted to improve the design, so I took a quick look at a couple of recipe sites. They were much more visual than my site, and so I simply told Windsurf to make my design more visual, emphasizing photos of food. Its first try was great. I showed it to a couple of friends and they suggested I should add recipe categories - "Thai" or "Mexican" or "Pizza" for example. They showed me the DoorDash app, so I took a screenshot of it and pasted it into Windsurf. My prompt was "Give me a carousel of food icons that look like this". Again, this worked in one shot. I think my version actually looks better than Doordash 🤷‍♂️

Doordash:

My carousel:

I also saw I was getting a console error from missing Favicon. I always struggle to make Favicon for previous sites because I could never figure out where they were supposed to go or what file format they needed. I got OpenAI to generate me a little recipe ninja icon with a transparent background and I saved it into my project directory. I asked Windsurf what file format I need and it listed out nine different sizes and file formats. Seems annoying. I wondered if Windsurf could just do it all for me. It quickly wrote a series of Bash commands to create a temporary folder, resize the image and create the nine variants I needed. It put them into the right directory and then cleaned up the temporary directory. I laughed in amazement. I've never been good at bash scripting and I didn't know if it was even possible to do what I was asking via the command line. I guess it is possible.

After launching and posting on Twitter, a few hundred users visited the site and generated about 1000 recipes. I was pretty happy! Unfortunately, the next day I woke up and saw that I had a $700 OpenAI bill. Someone had been abusing the site and costing me a lot of OpenAI credits by creating a single recipe over and over again - "Pasta with Shallots and Pineapple". They did this 12,000 times. Obviously, I had not put any rate limiting in.

Still, I was determined not to write any code. I explained the problem and asked Windsurf to come up with solutions. Seconds later, I had 15 pretty good suggestions. I implemented several (but not all) of the ideas in about 10 minutes and the abuse stopped dead in its tracks. I won't tell you which ones I chose in case Mr Shallots and Pineapple is reading. The app's security is not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it for the scale I'm at. If I continue to grow and get more abuse, I'll implement more robust measures.

Overall, I am astonished how productive Windsurf has made me in the last two weeks. I'm not a good designer or frontend developer, and I'm a very rusty rails dev. I got this project into production 5 to 10 times faster than it would've taken me manually, and the level of polish on the front end is much higher than I could've achieved on my own.  Over and over again, I would ask for a change and be astonished at the speed and quality with which Windsurf implemented it. I just sat laughing as the computer wrote code.

The next thing I want to change is making the recipe generation process much more immediate and responsive. Right now, it takes about 20 seconds to generate a recipe and for a new user it feels like maybe the app just isn't doing anything.

Instead, I'm experimenting with using Websockets to show a streaming response as the recipe is created. This gives the user immediate feedback that something is happening. It would also make editing the recipe really fun - you could ask it to "add nuts" to the recipe, and see as the recipe dynamically updates 2-3 seconds later. You could also say "Increase the quantities to cook for 8 people" or "Change from imperial to metric measurements".

I have a basic implementation working, but there are still some rough edges. I might actually go and read the code this time to figure out what it's doing!

I also want to add a full voice agent interface so that you don't have to touch the screen at all. Halfway through cooking a recipe, you might ask "I don't have cilantro - what could I use instead?" or say "Set a timer for 30 minutes". That would be my dream recipe app!

Tools like Windsurf or Cursor aren't yet as useful for non-technical users - they're extremely powerful and there are still too many ways to blow your own face off. I have a fairly good idea of the architecture that I want Windsurf to implement, and I could quickly spot when it was going off track or choosing a solution that was inappropriately complicated for the feature I was building. At the moment, a technical background is a massive advantage for using Windsurf. As a rusty developer, it made me feel like I had superpowers.

But I believe within a couple of months, when things like log tailing and automated testing and native version control get implemented, it will be an extremely powerful tool for even non-technical people to write production-quality apps. The AI will be able to make complex changes and then verify those changes are actually working. At the moment, it feels like it's making a best guess at what will work and then leaving the user to test it. Implementing better feedback loops will enable a truly agentic, recursive, self-healing development flow. It doesn't feel like it needs any breakthrough in technology to enable this. It's just about adding a few tool calls to the existing LLMs. My mind races as I try to think through the implications for professional software developers.

Meanwhile, the LLMs aren't going to sit still. They're getting better at a frightening rate. I spoke to several very capable software engineers who are Y Combinator founders in the last week. About a quarter of them told me that 95% of their code is written by AI. In six or twelve months, I just don't think software engineering is going exist in the same way as it does today. The cost of creating high-quality, custom software is quickly trending towards zero.

You can try the site yourself at recipeninja.ai

What Is Linux Web Hosting? A Beginner's Guide

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, the choice of web hosting can significantly impact your online presence. One of the most popular options available is Linux web hosting. But what exactly does it entail, and why is it so widely preferred? This beginner’s guide aims to demystify Linux web hosting, its features, benefits, and how it stands against other hosting types.

Introduction to Web Hosting

Web hosting is a fundamental service that enables individuals and organisations to make their websites accessible on the internet. When you create a website, it consists of numerous files, such as HTML, images, and databases, which need to be stored on a server. A web host provides the server space and connectivity required for these files to be accessed by users online.

There are several types of web hosting, each designed to cater to different needs and budgets. Shared hosting is a cost-effective option where multiple websites share the same server resources. Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting offers a middle ground, providing dedicated portions of a server for greater performance and control. Dedicated hosting provides an entire server exclusively for one website, ensuring maximum performance but at a higher cost. Cloud hosting uses multiple servers to balance the load and maximise uptime, offering a scalable solution for growing websites.

Web hosting services also include various features to enhance the performance and security of your website. These can range from basic offerings like email accounts and website builders to more advanced features like SSL certificates, automated backups, and DDoS protection. The choice of web hosting can significantly influence your website’s speed, security, and reliability, making it crucial to choose a solution that aligns with your specific requirements.

Understanding the different types of web hosting and the features they offer can help you make an informed decision that suits your needs.

Linux Hosting vs Windows Hosting: A Comparative Analysis

When evaluating Linux hosting against Windows hosting, several critical factors come into play. Cost is a significant differentiator; Linux hosting is generally more affordable due to its open-source nature, which eliminates the need for expensive licensing fees. In contrast, Windows hosting often incurs additional costs related to proprietary software licenses.

Compatibility is another important aspect to consider. Linux hosting is renowned for its compatibility with a broad array of open-source software and applications, including popular content management systems like WordPress, Joomla, and Magento. These platforms typically perform better on Linux servers due to optimised server configurations. On the other hand, Windows hosting is the go-to option for websites that rely on Microsoft-specific technologies such as ASP.NET, MSSQL, and other .NET frameworks.

Performance and stability are also crucial elements in this comparison. Linux hosting often provides superior uptime and faster loading speeds due to the lightweight nature of the Linux operating system. The robust performance of Linux servers is further enhanced by the active community that continuously works on optimisations and security patches. Windows hosting, while also reliable, can sometimes be more resource-intensive, potentially affecting performance.

Customisation and control levels differ significantly between the two. Linux offers greater flexibility and customisation options, allowing users to tweak server settings and configurations extensively. This level of control is particularly beneficial for developers who need a tailored hosting environment. Conversely, Windows hosting is typically easier to manage for those familiar with the Windows operating system but may offer less flexibility in terms of customisation.

Security measures also vary between Linux and Windows hosting. Linux is often praised for its strong security features, which are bolstered by a large community dedicated to promptly addressing vulnerabilities. While Windows hosting is secure, it may require more frequent updates and maintenance to ensure the same level of protection.

Common Use Cases for Linux Web Hosting

Linux web hosting is versatile and caters to a broad range of applications, making it a popular choice across various sectors. One of the most common use cases is hosting blogs and personal websites, particularly those built on platforms like WordPress. The open-source nature of Linux and its compatibility with PHP make it an ideal environment for WordPress, which powers a significant portion of the web.

E-commerce websites also benefit greatly from Linux web hosting. Solutions like Magento, PrestaShop, and OpenCart often perform better on Linux servers due to their need for a robust, secure, and scalable hosting environment. The flexibility to configure server settings allows online store owners to optimise performance and ensure a smooth shopping experience for their customers.

Content Management Systems (CMS) such as Joomla and Drupal are another prime use case. These systems require reliable and flexible hosting solutions to manage complex websites with large amounts of content. Linux's support for various databases and scripting languages ensures seamless integration and optimal performance for CMS-based sites.

Developers frequently turn to Linux web hosting for custom web applications. The operating system supports a variety of programming languages, including Python, Ruby, and Perl, making it suitable for a wide array of development projects. Its command-line interface and extensive package repositories allow developers to install and manage software efficiently.

Additionally, Linux web hosting is commonly used for educational and non-profit websites. The low cost and high reliability make it a practical choice for schools, universities, and charitable organisations that need a dependable online presence without breaking the bank.

Setting Up a Linux Web Hosting Environment

Setting up a Linux web hosting environment can be straightforward with the right approach. Begin by selecting a reputable hosting provider that offers Linux-based plans. After signing up, you'll typically be granted access to a control panel, such as cPanel or Plesk, which simplifies the management of your hosting environment. Through the control panel, you can manage files, databases, email accounts, and more.

Next, if you're using a content management system (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal, you can often find one-click installation options within the control panel. This feature makes it easy to get your website up and running quickly. Additionally, ensure that you configure your domain name to point to your new hosting server, which usually involves updating your domain's DNS settings.

For those who prefer more control or are comfortable using the command line, you can manually set up your web server using SSH access. This method allows you to install and configure web server software like Apache or Nginx, as well as databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Regardless of the setup method you choose, it's crucial to secure your server from the outset. This includes setting up a firewall, enabling SSH key authentication for secure access, and regularly updating all software to protect against vulnerabilities. Regularly monitoring your server's performance and security logs can help you stay ahead of potential issues, ensuring a stable and secure hosting environment for your website.

Security Best Practices for Linux Web Hosting

Securing your Linux web hosting environment is paramount to safeguarding your website against potential threats. Begin by ensuring your server software and all installed applications are up to date. Regular updates often include patches for security vulnerabilities, making this a critical step. Utilise strong, unique passwords for all user accounts, and consider employing SSH key authentication for added security when accessing your server remotely.

Setting up a firewall is another essential measure. Tools like iptables or firewalld can help you configure firewall rules to control incoming and outgoing traffic, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorised access. Implementing intrusion detection systems (IDS), such as Fail2Ban, can provide an additional layer of security by monitoring and blocking suspicious activities.

Consider deploying an SSL certificate to encrypt data transmitted between your server and users' browsers. This not only enhances security but also boosts user trust and can improve your search engine rankings. Additionally, limit the use of root privileges; create separate user accounts with the necessary permissions to minimise potential damage in the event of a breach.

Regularly backup your data to mitigate the impact of data loss due to hardware failure, cyber-attacks, or human error. Automated backup solutions can simplify this process, ensuring your data is consistently protected. Monitoring your server's logs can also be invaluable for identifying unusual activity early. Tools like Logwatch or the ELK Stack can assist in log management and analysis, enabling you to take swift action if anomalies are detected.

Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them

Setting up and maintaining a Linux web hosting environment can present various challenges, especially for those new to the platform. One frequent issue is navigating the command line, which can be daunting for beginners. Engaging with online tutorials, forums, and communities like Stack Overflow can be invaluable for learning the basics and troubleshooting problems. Another common challenge is software incompatibility. Ensuring your web applications are compatible with the Linux distribution you choose is crucial; consulting documentation and support resources can help mitigate these issues.

Security configuration can also be a complex task. Implementing best practices such as setting up firewalls, regular updates, and using strong authentication methods requires a good understanding of Linux security principles. Managed hosting services can offer a solution here by handling these technical aspects for you, allowing you to focus on your website content.

Resource management is another area where users might struggle. Monitoring server performance and managing resources effectively ensures your website runs smoothly. Utilising monitoring tools and performance optimisation techniques can help you stay ahead of potential issues. Lastly, when it comes to server backups, regular, automated solutions are essential to prevent data loss and minimise downtime. Being proactive in addressing these challenges will ensure a more seamless and secure Linux web hosting experience.

Popular Control Panels for Linux Web Hosting

Control panels are invaluable for simplifying the management of your Linux web hosting environment. Among the most popular are cPanel, Plesk, and Webmin. cPanel is renowned for its intuitive interface and extensive feature set, making it a favourite among users who need a straightforward yet powerful management tool. Plesk offers robust functionality and supports both Linux and Windows servers, providing versatility for those who manage multiple server environments. Webmin stands out as a free, open-source option that allows comprehensive server management through a web interface, catering to those who prefer a customisable and cost-effective solution. Each control panel brings unique strengths, helping to streamline tasks such as file management, database administration, and security configurations.

Choosing the Right Linux Web Hosting Provider

Choosing the right Linux web hosting provider involves several key considerations. Firstly, evaluate the quality of customer support offered. Responsive and knowledgeable support can be invaluable, especially when troubleshooting technical issues or during the initial setup phase. Check if the provider offers 24/7 support and multiple contact methods such as live chat, email, and phone.

Another crucial factor is the security measures in place. Opt for providers that offer robust security features, including regular backups, SSL certificates, firewalls, and DDoS protection. These features help safeguard your website against potential threats and ensure data integrity.

Reliability and uptime guarantees are also vital. Aim for providers that offer at least a 99.9% uptime guarantee, as frequent downtimes can significantly affect your website’s accessibility and user experience. Additionally, look into the provider’s data centre infrastructure and redundancy measures, which can impact overall performance and reliability.

Scalability is another important aspect to consider. As your website grows, you’ll need the flexibility to upgrade your hosting plan seamlessly. Check if the provider offers scalable solutions, such as easy transitions to VPS or dedicated hosting, without causing disruptions to your site.

Lastly, consider the hosting plans and pricing structures available. While cost-effectiveness is a significant benefit of Linux web hosting, ensure the plans align with your specific needs. Compare the features, storage, bandwidth, and other resources included in different plans to find the best value for your money.

Reading customer reviews and seeking recommendations can also provide insights into the provider’s reputation and service quality. By carefully evaluating these factors, you can choose a Linux web hosting provider that meets your requirements and supports your online endeavours effectively.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Linux web hosting stands out as an optimal choice for both beginners and seasoned web developers. Its open-source nature provides an affordable, highly customisable, and secure environment, suitable for a diverse range of websites, from personal blogs to large e-commerce platforms. The extensive community support ensures ongoing improvements and prompt resolution of issues, contributing to its reliability and performance. Choosing the right hosting provider is crucial; look for robust security measures, excellent customer support, and scalability to accommodate your website's growth. By leveraging the strengths of Linux web hosting, you can build a resilient and efficient online presence that meets your specific needs and goals.

Fixing WordPress Update Issues Made Easy: A Beginner’s Guide to Smooth Website Maintenance

Keeping your WordPress website updated is one of the smartest things you can do for better security, performance, and features. But what happens when those updates don’t go as planned?

If you’ve ever seen your website freeze, crash, or show strange errors after clicking "Update," don’t worry—you’re not alone, and you don’t need to be a developer to fix it.

In this guide, we’ll explain why WordPress updates fail and share simple, beginner-friendly solutions to get your website back on track—quickly and safely.

⚠️ Common Reasons Why WordPress Updates Fail

WordPress is built on multiple moving parts—your core WordPress files, themes, and plugins. An update may fail if just one part doesn’t play nicely with the others.

Here are the top reasons why updates might not go through:

🌐 Weak or unstable internet connection

🔌 Plugin conflicts that interfere with the update

🎨 Themes that aren’t compatible with the latest WordPress version

🧠 Low server memory or execution time limits

🔒 Incorrect folder or file permissions

📁 Corrupted or incomplete update downloads

🛠️ Simple Fixes for WordPress Update Problems

✅ Step 1: Always Back Up Your Website

Before making any changes, install a backup plugin like UpdraftPlus or BackupBuddy and save a complete version of your site. This ensures that if something goes wrong, you can restore your site in minutes.

✅ Step 2: Clear Your Cache

Sometimes, the issue isn’t with the update—it’s with what your browser is showing.

Clear your browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+R or Command+Shift+R)

If you use a caching plugin (like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache), clear your site’s cache from the plugin dashboard

Then, try the update again.

✅ Step 3: Troubleshoot Plugin Conflicts

If an update causes your site to break, the issue might be a plugin.

Here’s how to find out:

Install the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin.

Enable “Troubleshooting Mode”—this temporarily disables all plugins for you only.

Try running the update again.

If the update works now, reactivate your plugins one at a time. The one that breaks the update is your troublemaker.

✅ Step 4: Check Hosting Limits

Your hosting environment might be too limited for updates to complete properly.

Ask your hosting provider these questions:

Is my PHP memory limit at least 256MB?

Is my maximum execution time at least 300 seconds?

Can these settings be increased if needed?

If not, consider upgrading to a better hosting plan for smoother WordPress performance.

✅ Step 5: Perform a Manual WordPress Update

When automatic updates fail, a manual update is a reliable workaround:

Download the latest WordPress version from WordPress.org

Unzip the files on your computer

Use FTP software (like FileZilla) to access your site files

Replace the wp-admin and wp-includes folders with the new versions

Leave the wp-content folder as-is (it holds your themes and plugins)

Open your site and follow any update prompts for the database

This process ensures a clean, fresh installation—without losing content or settings.

✅ Step 6: Fix File Permissions

Improper file permissions can block updates.

Use a plugin like WP File Manager or ask your host to set:

All folders to 755

All files to 644

These settings help WordPress update safely without risking your site’s security.

✅ Step 7: Remove Stuck Maintenance Mode

If you see the message:

“Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.” …your site update was interrupted and left in maintenance mode.

Here’s how to fix it:

Access your site files through FTP or your hosting file manager (like cPanel)

Go to your website’s root folder

Delete the file called .maintenance

Refresh your site—it should be back to normal

This takes less than a minute and often solves the issue instantly.

💡 When to Call in the Pros

If these solutions don’t work—or if you feel unsure about any step—don’t hesitate to get help from professionals.

Here are your options:

Contact your web hosting support

Hire a trusted WordPress expert

Reach out to a reputable company like Websenor for quick, affordable help

🎯 Final Word: Let Websenor Handle Your WordPress Maintenance

WordPress update problems are common—but they don’t have to be stressful. With some basic know-how and a methodical approach, you can often fix these issues yourself.

But if you'd rather skip the hassle, Websenor is here to help. Our team specializes in:

WordPress core and plugin updates

Website backups and security

The Evolution of the Full Stack Web Developer: Then vs. Now

Technology is moving at lightning speed, and so are the people who build it. One such pivotal role in the digital space is that of the full stack developer—a professional who juggles both the front-end and back-end of web applications. But like all things in tech, the role of the full stack developer has undergone massive transformation over the past two decades.

So, how did we get from the simple websites of the early 2000s to today’s complex, cloud-integrated, API-driven web apps? Let’s walk through the evolution of the full stack web developer: then vs. now.

Back Then: Simpler Times, Simpler Stacks

In the early days of the internet, being a full stack developer meant you were a jack-of-all-trades—but the stack was far less complicated. Websites were relatively static, and the tools were limited but manageable.

What defined a full stack developer then?

HTML, CSS, and a bit of JavaScript: These were the core technologies for building any web interface.

Backend scripting with PHP or ASP.NET: Most developers used server-side languages like PHP for form processing and basic database interactions.

Databases like MySQL: Relational databases were the go-to for storing content.

Little to no version control: Most code was shared via ZIP files or FTP uploads.

Solo development: Often, a single developer managed the entire website—from writing HTML to setting up servers.

This era was defined by simplicity, but also by limitations. Sites were slower, less interactive, and rarely mobile-friendly. Yet, in those early days, one developer could manage it all.

Now: Complexity, Collaboration, and Constant Learning

Fast forward to today, and the web is a different beast. Users expect speed, responsiveness, personalized experiences, and seamless integration with other apps. To meet these expectations, the full stack developer has had to evolve dramatically.

What does a full stack developer look like now?

Front-End Frameworks: React, Angular, or Vue are commonly used for building dynamic user interfaces.

Back-End Powerhouses: Node.js, Django, Ruby on Rails, or even serverless functions on AWS or Azure.

Cloud & DevOps: Modern full stack developers often deploy on cloud platforms and manage CI/CD pipelines.

APIs and Microservices: Today’s applications are modular, and developers must work with RESTful APIs and sometimes GraphQL.

Database Variety: From SQL to NoSQL (MongoDB, Firebase), data storage is more versatile.

Version Control and Collaboration Tools: Git, GitHub, GitLab, and platforms like Jira and Slack are essential.

Security & Performance: Awareness of cross-site scripting, data encryption, and performance optimization is critical.

Modern full stack developers don’t just write code—they’re architects, problem-solvers, and collaborators.

The Human Side of the Evolution

Let’s not forget the human element. Twenty years ago, being a full stack developer often meant learning by doing. There were fewer formal resources, and “Googling it” wasn’t even a thing. Now, developers have access to endless online courses, forums, and bootcamps—but they also face constant pressure to keep up.

Challenges modern full stack developers face:

Burnout from constant learning

Juggling too many technologies

Unclear job definitions in some companies

Need to balance depth vs. breadth of skills

However, despite the complexity, today’s developers are part of a global community. They share code, contribute to open source, and support one another. That’s something that has only grown stronger over time.

The Stack Is Evolving—And So Is the Developer

The definition of a full stack developer continues to shift. Some developers specialize more in either front-end or back-end, while still understanding both. Others become tech leads, DevOps engineers, or product-focused developers. But at its core, the role is about versatility and adaptability.

Key skills of a modern full stack developer:

Proficiency in multiple languages and frameworks

Problem-solving mindset

Understanding of UI/UX principles

Ability to work with databases, APIs, and cloud infrastructure

Strong communication and teamwork skills

Conclusion: From Hackers to Architects

The journey from the humble beginnings of web development to today’s sophisticated tech stacks is a fascinating one. The full stack developer of the past may have worked alone, but the modern developer thrives in collaboration, supported by tools, teams, and an ever-growing tech ecosystem.

The evolution of the full stack web developer: then vs. now reminds us that while tools and technologies will continue to change, the heart of development—curiosity, creativity, and code—remains the same.

Fix Security Misconfigurations in Symfony Easily

Symfony is a powerful PHP framework used by developers worldwide. But like all platforms, it's vulnerable to security misconfigurations if not set up correctly. These misconfigurations can expose your app to serious threats like unauthorized access, data leakage, and more.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how security misconfigurations happen in Symfony, how attackers exploit them, and how you can fix them—along with real coding examples.

And the best part? You can use our free website vulnerability scanner online to instantly detect misconfigurations and other vulnerabilities in your web apps.

🔎 What is Security Misconfiguration?

Security misconfiguration happens when:

Unnecessary services are enabled.

Default credentials are used.

Error messages leak sensitive data.

Debug mode is active in production.

In Symfony apps, this often includes exposed .env files, open profiler tools, or misconfigured firewalls.

⚠️ Common Symfony Misconfiguration Examples (and Fixes)

Let’s look at some real-world Symfony misconfiguration examples—and how to fix them fast.

✅ 1. Disabling Symfony Debug Mode in Production

Issue: When debug mode is enabled in production, detailed error messages expose internal files and paths.

Misconfigured Code (in .env):

APP_ENV=dev APP_DEBUG=1

Fixed Configuration:

APP_ENV=prod APP_DEBUG=0

Pro Tip: Never commit .env files with debug settings to version control.

✅ 2. Securing the Profiler Tool

Issue: The Symfony Profiler gives deep app insights but should never be exposed in production.

Risk: Attackers can view routing, services, and database queries.

How to Disable Profiler in Production:

# config/packages/prod/web_profiler.yaml web_profiler: toolbar: false intercept_redirects: false framework: profiler: enabled: false

✅ 3. Harden HTTP Headers

Misconfiguration: Default Symfony headers don’t include secure settings.

Solution (Using a Response Event Listener):

// src/EventListener/SecurityHeaderListener.php namespace App\EventListener; use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\ResponseEvent; class SecurityHeaderListener { public function onKernelResponse(ResponseEvent $event) { $response = $event->getResponse(); $response->headers->set('X-Frame-Options', 'DENY'); $response->headers->set('X-Content-Type-Options', 'nosniff'); $response->headers->set('Referrer-Policy', 'no- referrer'); } }

Register Listener in Services.yaml:

services: App\EventListener\SecurityHeaderListener: tags: - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.response }

🛡️ Prevent Directory Listings

Exposing directory indexes can leak source files or configuration data.

Apache Fix:

Options -Indexes

Nginx Fix:

location / { autoindex off; }

🖼️ Screenshot: Our Free Website Security Checker Tool

🔁 Extra Tips to Avoid Symfony Misconfigurations

Disable unused bundles.

Validate permissions in security.yaml.

Sanitize file uploads.

Never expose sensitive routes like /phpinfo() or /admin/.

🧪 Test Your Symfony App Now – It’s Free

Don’t wait for attackers to find your security flaws. Use our free vulnerability scanner to detect weaknesses in your Symfony-based apps in minutes.

Looking for more cybersecurity insights? Visit our main blog at Pentest Testing Corp. where we regularly share vulnerability breakdowns, tools, and remediation tips.

my search for the perfect twitter bookmarks manager (aka i tried 4 twitter paid manager apps and i still can't choose bc they're all expensive as hell)

i want to leave twitter ASAP BUT

i don't know how to do it

i've been collecting and organizing my bookmarks with "twillot" a freemium twitter bookmark web organizer. it costs 581 php/month (368 php/month if you do annual billing But you will be charged 4416 php right away.)

I have 3 candidates for my twitter bookmarks organizer, the main drawback for each is that i have to depend on them? but the monthly fee is wayyy too expensive, that's like 2-3 days of meals for me, and it's already 3% of my salary, and i have to make space to buy kpop stuff.

so far, i paid for 1 month of twillot basic plan which yeeted out 581 pesos from my credit card. ouch

so it's either find a higher paying job (i plan to leave my job by October so start applying around August) so i can afford to lose 600 pesos per month (that's like 30 pesos per working day. ouch!)

so the options are:

1. TWEETSMASH

PRICING: - $49 - exports pass (one time payment) - can export and auto sync bookmarks, organize into "smart" folders - reader pass: $14 monthly or $84 yearly (6 months off or $7 monthly) - can turn into newsletters, no export to pdf option - yearly pass: $99 yearly ($8.25 monthly) - full experience PROS: woman made #womenintech, can open in tablet browser ✅, it looks similar to notion so somewhat cleaner looking than dewey CONS: no nested folders?, and it's selling AI too much?

2. DEWEY

PRICING: - $50 - 48 hour export pass - all features for 48 HOURS ONLY - pro monthly: $10 monthly = $120 yearly - no export, notion & gsheet integration) - pro yearly: $7.50 monthly or $90 yearly (3 months off) - all features - last black friday they offered 30% off, then christmas they offered 35% off, then on new year they offered 25% off, so i'm waiting this year for either black friday or christmas for at least a 25% off discount (i'm talking $63 yearly which is still a lot but hopefully i'm $63 richer by november LOL)

PROS: nested folder, can open in tablet browser ✅, almost same interface as tweetsmash, i think this was the one i tried exporting to pdf and it came out nice, has an option to save the whole thread, auto groups by year and month CONS: interface is too noisy (too many gradients), the export pass is limited for 48 hours why why why, also the limited features when you do monthly billing instead of yearly billing is so nasty, when i first did their AI auto categorization it just threw out 200 different folders and that sucked, they

3. TWILLOT

PRICING - basic - $10 monthly or $78 yearly (3.5 months off or $6.5 monthly) - export 50000 tweets, up to 50000 bookmarks - pro - $20 monthly or - unlimited bookmarks PROS: prettiest interface (it looks like an excel file but cleaner), easy to tag tweets into folders, promises local backup (better than export to csv imo) but i tried it and it doesn't work so. CONS: idk if i want my money to go to a chinese dev and indirectly to the ccp lol, no sorting by date, doesn't open in tablets because it's a google web extension. (sad) ❌ but also, it's newer than the first 2 apps so i will give it some slack, the export to pdf doesnt put the username for some reason? but it numbers the tweets, and the images come out really HD, so that's nice.

4. FAVOURITES IO

PROS: cheap CONS: limited features, only search and tags, no export

i really want to like twillot but it was too late for me to get the early bird discounted subscription, and it's a younger app.

so i'm thinking of unsubbing to twillot after the 1 month, then waiting for the black friday/ christmas/ new year discount and subscribe to a dewey yearly plan; or if there's no discount, getting the tweetsmash 1 time export pass and hopefully it doesn't have a time limit like dewey has.

so far i've organized 833 tweets into folders (2%) in twillot, so i've wasted some time, but it's part of the exploration.

i want to do like a youtube video on this so i can monetize it a bit LOL but maybe i should send feedback to the devs first).

what's really cool is that both the tweetsmash and twillot devs are on twitter and reddit (they advertise their apps on there and seek advice and stuff). i think the dewey team are also on there. what i mean is you can see they built these apps because they were sick of seeing this problem and were like "fine, i'll do it myself!" which is inspiring as someone who once dreamed of building an app (for what? idk? like my own personal assistant on the phone lol). and they did it and these apps are running, albeit not perfectly, but they built it! and people pay for their apps! that's cool!

so my takeaway is maybe i want to shift my career to tech soon bc that's where the money is still at (pls don't flop soon)

How to Develop a Website Using PHP

How to Develop a Website Using PHP

In today's digital era, websites play a crucial role in business growth and online presence. One of the most widely used server-side scripting languages for web development is PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor). It is open-source, easy to learn, and widely supported by web servers and databases. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of developing a website using PHP.

Why Choose PHP for Web Development?

Before diving into the development process, let’s explore some key reasons why PHP is a great choice for website development:

1. Open-Source: PHP is free to use, making it cost-effective for developers.

2. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS without compatibility issues.

3. Database Support: Easily integrates with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other databases.

4. Scalability: Suitable for both small websites and large-scale web applications.

5. Large Community Support: Extensive documentation and active developer communities for troubleshooting and learning.

Prerequisites for PHP Web Development

To develop a website using PHP, you need the following tools:

1. Text Editor or IDE: VS Code, Sublime Text, or PHPStorm.

2. Local Server: XAMPP, WAMP, or MAMP for running PHP scripts.

3. Database System: MySQL or PostgreSQL for data storage.

4. Web Browser: Chrome, Firefox, or Edge for testing the website.

Step-by-Step Guide to Developing a Website Using PHP

1. Setting Up Your Development Environment

To begin developing a PHP website, follow these steps:

· Install XAMPP (or WAMP/MAMP) to create a local server.

· Using the XAMPP Control Panel, launch Apache and MySQL.

· Navigate to htdocs in the XAMPP directory to store PHP project files.

2. Creating the Project Structure

Organizing your files properly enhances maintainability. A typical PHP project structure:

project-folder/

│-- index.php

│-- config.php

│-- assets/

│   ├── css/

│   ├── js/

│   ├── images/

│-- includes/

│   ├── header.php

│   ├── footer.php

│-- pages/

│   ├── about.php

│   ├── contact.php

│-- database/

│   ├── db_connect.php

3. Writing Your First PHP Script

Create an index.php file and add the following code:

<?php

  echo "Welcome to My PHP Website!";

?>

Save the file and access it in the browser by navigating to http://localhost/project-folder/.

4. Connecting PHP with MySQL Database

To manage dynamic content, connect PHP with a MySQL database.

Create a Database

1. Open phpMyAdmin from XAMPP.

2. Create a new database, e.g., my_website.

3. Add a users table with fields id, name, email, and password.

Database Connection Code (db_connect.php)

<?php

$servername = "localhost";

$username = "root";

$password = "";

dbname = "my_website";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

if ($conn->connect_error) {

    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);

}

?>

5. Creating a User Registration System

A simple user registration form using PHP and MySQL.

Registration Form (register.php)

<form method="POST" action="register.php">

  <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Full Name" required>

  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required>

  <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" required>

  <button type="submit" name="register">Register</button>

</form>

Handling User Registration (register.php)

<?php

include 'database/db_connect.php';

if(isset($_POST['register'])) {

    $name = $_POST['name'];

    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $password = password_hash($_POST['password'], PASSWORD_BCRYPT);

    $sql = "INSERT INTO users (name, email, password) VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$password')";

    if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {

        echo "Registration successful!";

    } else {

        echo "Error: " . $conn->error;

    }

}

?>

6. Implementing User Login System

Login Form (login.php)

<form method="POST" action="login.php">

  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required>

  <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" required>

  <button type="submit" name="login">Login</button>

</form>

Handling Login Authentication (login.php)

<?php

session_start();

include 'database/db_connect.php';

if(isset($_POST['login'])) {

    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $password = $_POST['password'];

    $result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$email'");

    $user = $result->fetch_assoc();

    if(password_verify($password, $user['password'])) {

        $_SESSION['user'] = $user;

        echo "Login successful!";

    } else {

        echo "Invalid credentials!";

    }

}

?>

7. Adding Navigation and Styling

· Use Bootstrap or CSS frameworks to improve UI.

· Include a header.php and footer.php for better navigation.

8. Deploying the PHP Website

Once development is complete, deploy your PHP website using:

· Shared Hosting with cPanel for easy management.

· Cloud Hosting (AWS, DigitalOcean) for high performance.

· Domain & SSL Certificate for a secure and professional website.

Conclusion

Developing a website using PHP is an efficient way to create dynamic and interactive websites. By following this step-by-step guide, you can build a PHP-based website from scratch, implement database interactions, user authentication, and deploy your project successfully. Start your PHP development journey today and create powerful web applications!

How to fix Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance, please check back in a minute error in wordpress 20025 ?

The "Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Please check back in a minute." error in WordPress usually occurs when an update is interrupted or incomplete. Here's how to fix it:

1. Delete the .maintenance File

WordPress creates a temporary .maintenance file in the root directory during updates. If the update fails or gets stuck, this file isn't removed, causing the error.

Steps to Fix:

Access Your Website via FTP or File Manager

Use an FTP client like FileZilla or log in to your cPanel and open the File Manager.

Locate the Root Directory

Navigate to the public_html or the folder where your WordPress site is installed.

Find and Delete the .maintenance File

If you don’t see the file, enable "Show Hidden Files" in your file manager settings.

Reload Your Website

Your site should be back online.

2. Manually Complete or Restart the Update

If the issue persists, your update may not have finished properly.

Steps to Fix:

Go to the wp-content/upgrade Folder

Delete any files inside this folder.

Manually Update WordPress, Themes, or Plugins

If a plugin or theme update was interrupted, go to your WordPress Dashboard > Plugins or Appearance > Themes and retry the update.

3. Disable Plugins (If the Error Persists)

If your site still shows the error:

Rename the plugins Folder via FTP

Go to wp-content/ and rename the plugins folder to plugins-old.

Check if your site loads. If it does, a plugin caused the issue.

Rename the folder back and activate plugins one by one to find the culprit.

4. Check File Permissions

Incorrect file permissions can cause WordPress to fail during updates.

Correct Permissions:

Files: 644

Folders: 755

You can adjust these via your File Manager or an FTP client.

5. Increase PHP Memory Limit (If Updates Are Failing)

If the update was interrupted due to low memory:

Edit wp-config.php

Add the following line:phpCopyEditdefine('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Save the file and try reloading the website.

Final Step: Clear Cache

If your website is still showing the maintenance message after following the above steps:

Clear your browser cache and WordPress cache (if using a caching plugin like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache).

How to Install XAMPP for Windows 10 - XAMPP WordPress For Beginners

To install XAMPP on Windows 10 and set it up for WordPress, follow these steps:

Step 1: Download XAMPP

Go to the official XAMPP website.

Click on the "XAMPP for Windows" button.

Once the installer is downloaded, locate the .exe file (usually in the Downloads folder).

Step 2: Install XAMPP

Double-click the .exe file to start the installation process.

Choose the components you want to install. For WordPress, you need at least Apache, MySQL, and PHP. These are selected by default, so you can leave them as is.

Choose the installation folder (default is usually fine).

Click "Next" and follow the prompts.

During installation, the installer may ask if you want to start the XAMPP Control Panel. Leave it checked and click "Finish."

Step 3: Start Apache and MySQL

Open the XAMPP Control Panel (it should have opened automatically, or you can search for it in the Start menu).

Click the "Start" button next to Apache (this will run the web server).

Click the "Start" button next to MySQL (this will start the database server).

Make sure both Apache and MySQL show "Running" in green.

Step 4: Install WordPress

Download the latest version of WordPress from the official WordPress website.

Extract the WordPress ZIP file.

Move the extracted folder (the WordPress folder) into the htdocs folder of your XAMPP installation (usually located at C:\xampp\htdocs).

Step 5: Create a Database for WordPress

Open your browser and go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/.

In the phpMyAdmin dashboard, click on "Databases."

Create a new database for WordPress. Give it a name (e.g., wordpress_db) and click "Create."

Step 6: Configure WordPress

Open your browser and go to http://localhost/wordpress (or the folder name you chose).

The WordPress installation screen should appear.

Select your language and click "Continue."

On the next screen, enter your database details:

Database Name: The name you created (e.g., wordpress_db).

Username: root (default for XAMPP).

Password: Leave this blank (default for XAMPP).

Database Host: localhost (default).

Table Prefix: Leave as wp_ unless you want to change it.

Click Submit and then Run the Install.

Step 7: Complete the WordPress Setup

Fill in the site details (site title, admin username, password, and email).

Click "Install WordPress."

Once the installation is complete, you’ll see a success message. You can now log in to your WordPress dashboard at http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin.

Final Notes

To stop your server, go to the XAMPP Control Panel and click "Stop" for Apache and MySQL.

If you need to make your local WordPress site public, you'll have to configure port forwarding or use a tool like Local by Flywheel or XAMPP for public access.
