UI Admin Customise dashboard and

applications list

Roles and permissions

Page Types child items

Workflow

Resize image on upload

Build all Smart Search indexes that are needed across site?

Cleaned up the content tree and removed any unwanted items?

Page type icons

Forms & Form Layouts

Switched on various settings

Clean up templates and widgets they can select

Kentico Editor output styling e.g. Bullet point list

Use the new Version 9 Web Parts and Widget Usages to locate


New in Version 9

EMS configuration

Set-up Widgets where you can?

Turned on/enabled Online Marketing options?

Enabled A/B Testing and MVT option

Enabled Content Personalization option

Thought about tracking conversions, if so use the conversion form control field

Mapped Form fields to allow for contacts within Kentico


Front End Optimisation Techniques Image optimisation

URLs and SEO URL Redirects

Same URLs

Allowed extensions

Canonical Links

Page Not Found

Robots, Google Sitemap and Google Analytics Thinking about multiple cultures would help with

this

HTML structures and syntax

Structured data e.g. Schema.org (https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/)


https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/

Performance

Kentico documentation for speeding up the website

Web part performance best practice

Only render what is required for that section not unrequired items (e.g. non mandatory fields markup showing up)

Bad backend coding


Performance SQL Debugger

Real time SQL debugging

Looking at columns you needto use and not all

Different places to view it

Performance benefit

You know what to do when you have finished with it!


Performance SQL Debugger

Under Debug SQL Queries

Example of a Hierarchical Viewer withmultiple Page Types


Performance KInspector


Performance - Recommendations

I would recommend to always check the SQL Debugger / Kinspector

Then if things look bad, use the web part with SQL Query in them so you define what the query / data source is and it is not something you just let Kentico handle

There are always and will be different scenarios to use some options over others, it all depends per project


Caching What are you

going to cache?

Main types Output caching Partial Caching CacheHelper.Cache

Debugging cache

Output cachesubstitutions

To cache or not to cache that is the question


private void BindGridCachedSection(){

DataSet ds = null;using (CachedSection<DataSet> cs = new CachedSection<DataSet>(ref

ds, new CacheSettings(60, "UsersDataset"))){

if (cs.LoadData) { ds = LoadUsersFromDB("UserEnabled=1"); }}grid.DataSource = ds;grid.DataBind();

}

private void BindGridTheBest(){

grid.DataSource = CacheHelper.Cache(() => LoadUsersFromDB("UserEnabled=1"), new CacheSettings(60,

"UsersDataset"));grid.DataBind();

}

Server/content cache Code from Petr Svihlik slides Kentico Developer Roadshow - London

Testing during site development Kentico validation

CSS

Link checker

Accessibility

Online validation


Testing during site development JS Unit Testing

Jasmine & Karma


Testing during site development .Net Unit Testing

Selenium automated testing


Security Run site through HTTPS

Stress Testing / Concurrent Testing e.g. Seige

Penetration Testing

Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 Security Vulnerabilities Injection Cross Site Scripting Anti CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) Etc…

Now improved in version 9 protection against CSRF by employing anti-CSRF tokens Great article by Juraj Komlosi on this


Staying alive

There are tools out there that check sites UpTrends

Uptime Robot

StatusCake

Pingdom

Get alerts before the client does so you can resolve them quickly
