SSH to Speed-Up Wordpress & Joomla Migration
Moving instances of wordpress & joomla (just the files / not the MySQL) can be time intensive with all of the tiny file.
One method I use constantly to speed this process up is SSH to zip/unzip directories then simply move the single large file.
Logging into SSH is quite simple if it's activated on your server.
Open Terminal on OSX
ssh username@whatever.com
Command to zip a directory
zip -r filename.zip foldername/
Command to unzip
unzip filename.zipWritten by John jensen

PHP applications still send a browser full of JavaScript. Hardening the server does not inventory the payment, analytics, and plugin scripts that run after the HTML is delivered.
