Introduction
Hello folks
I've found some great links this week. They include an image optimiser add-on and a video of Rachel Andrew's talk about building the Perch 3 Admin UI.
A quick reminder that if you are writing up your work with Perch, please let me know and I'll do my best to include the link here. This is a great way of getting more readers to your blog :-)
Just reply to this email or find me on Twitter.
See you next time.
Add-Ons
Perch Image Optimiser
The Perch Image Optimiser will compress images that are generated by the CMS.
This new add-on by Red Finch (James Wigger) looks very useful. Settings to enable or disable optimisation tools, set the compression amount, strip meta data, enable or disable SVG optimisation. Scheduled Tasks are used.
Perch Shop now in Chirp SEO
The latest release of the Chirp SEO add-on now supports Perch Shop. It already allows you to analyse the content of pages, blog posts and collections. Now, it can check your product pages as well. Great work by Ryan Gittings.
