#ketnico API use, web part or widget configuration - SET THE COLUMNS FOR QUERIES you lazybones. Use #kinspector https://t.co/TF0hV9VDe6

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Make sure you disable the #kentico scheduled tasks of modules that
you don’t use. No point spending the effort on useless processing :-)

DB settings 2 : set recovery model to FULL for #kentico sites where changes to the system between backups ARE critical... or it's ecom :-)

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Database settings - set your recovery model to simple for #kentico sites where changes to the system between backups are not critical.

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Don't look like a page / act like a page? Get it out of the #kentico content tree. Use module custom entities. Custom tables if you must :-)

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Happy #HumpDay #kentico peeps! Your teams doing code reviews? If not - START, and add #kinspector to your review https://t.co/TF0hV9VDe6

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

So I told you to use #kentico SQL debugger while developing. In PROD make sure you set 'Disable debugging' = true, otherwise site = slooooow

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Custom caching in #kentico? Make sure you have a strategy to invalidate when editors update - and an inexpensive one https://t.co/y0rRMflZ48

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Don't just use default 10m for 'Cache page info (minutes)', 'Cache content (minutes)' and 'Cache files (minutes)' in #kentico. Try hours!

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Limit columns of every SQL query, repeater, API call. Use #kentico SQL debug to audit your SQL use in development - https://t.co/cvldVQfwVc

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Optimize the performance of a dynamic page with #kentico partial caching if you can't use output caching - https://t.co/L5KfeK6skW

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Non-dynamic page, or page that doesn't change much per request? Configure #kentico output caching - https://t.co/yT4zUftO23

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

This evening's #kentico smarts are brought to you by the letter 'C' for caching. No caching strategy = epic fail. https://t.co/pbCGsa37aR

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Keep your production #kentico site toasty warm and always running : https://t.co/RGD0b7rzJW

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Morning #kentico solution partners. Let's start the day with some potential controversy - ALWAYS setup a new project as a web application.

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

Next for the prod box. Exclude the following from antivirus - .Net temporary files directory, #kentico website bin and web.config file.

[Kentico Smarts @Kentico_Smarts]

The theme today for #kentico smarts - the web server. Make sure your prod box is in retail mode : https://t.co/KNZzBQNEMj

TWEET #1! Hmmm - what's one of the first things I change in #Kentico settings? Save files to disk, not DB - https://t.co/Q0r0PhEPyX
