Preparing MODX Evo and Revo Sites for DDoS Pressure
A CMS alone will not absorb multi-gigabit junk traffic, so DDoS resilience starts with hosting, edge protection, and request-layer strategy rather than snippet tweaks.
Release notes, extras updates, guides, videos, and practical Evolution CMS knowledge in one place.

Because TV values are stored as text, numeric comparisons need explicit ordering logic if you want true maximum and minimum results.
A catalog with 1,000–1,500 items needs more than a simple list snippet — it needs a content model that stays manageable as filters, images, and prices grow.
Dev Manager was built for developers first: tabbed editing, quick element actions, and a much more efficient workflow for working with templates and code in the manager.
If an analytics package creates only an empty manager node, the installation likely finished only partially and the account or connector setup still needs review.
Reminder emails do not require taking the whole site offline — they require a controlled batch process with sane limits and a cron schedule.
A company account area is easiest to build when registration, moderation, profile editing, media uploads, and reporting are treated as separate responsibilities from the start.
A “global” search across several travel sites is not just one snippet call — it is a federated search problem that needs a source strategy, normalization, and ranking rules.
This donor captured an interesting ecosystem idea: using XML-RPC to edit and publish Evolution content from external tools such as Sublime Text or mobile clients.
If a documented API example does not work in your build, check the runtime context and the exact user/document scope before assuming the function is broken globally.
If a manager can edit existing resources but cannot create children inside a container, the issue is usually the resource policy type, not the role rank alone.
A zero query count in parser stats does not always mean truly zero database-related overhead; some measured timings can still include framework or connection-layer work.
If AjaxSearch falls back to the whole site when a category has no direct keyword hits, the category constraint needs to stay part of the query even in the empty-result path.
If an AJAX-heavy catalog starts turning into a maintenance nightmare, moving the front-end state into an SPA and treating Evolution as the data provider can be the cleaner architecture.
Watermarks are easy when the position presets match your design, but centered overlays require understanding how the gallery tool interprets placement codes.
A blog listing becomes easier to scan once each post has a dedicated preview image strategy instead of relying only on text.
If a region switch is driven by URL parameters, the best event is the one that sees the request early enough to store the choice before page-specific logic depends on it.
Turning a form submission into a new resource becomes much easier when the field-to-document mapping is declared in one readable array.
A test server is useful only if deployment back to production is deliberate, repeatable, and does not overwrite live data blindly every night.
If antispam seems to “do nothing”, verify what fields it actually injects and whether your template or theme is hiding them.
