Where to add defer tag to pages/script tags Started By tony bonn I used PageSpeed Insights to evaluate my home page performance. It stinks.

IP Filter (IPFilter) Proper Function? Started By Clifton Foster The IP Filter setting seems to only block admins/lhosts from IPs that are set to be blocked. Standard users can still login from the blocked IPs.

Errors before and after upgrade Started By dcpetterson DNN software was not working at all. I upgraded from 7.something to 08.00.04 as recommended here: https://dnndocs.com/conte...rade-path/index.html The website is running okay, but when editing a page it runs painfully slow - 5 or 10 minutes for any function at all.
