"All I did was edit my page—I didn't touch the original image" While we've always advocated for properly optimizing images for the web, it's only since we instated a consistent limit of 3MB file sizes for every attachment region in SiteFarm that the impact of that change in our 5.0.0 release has brought to light how that truly affects our users and their sites. Maybe this has impacted you or maybe you haven't come across it yet, but let's take a look at how you can review your site's files to identify and replace culprits before they become a real problem.

Configure Content Audit Audiences

In SiteFarm 5.0.0 the team added 'Audiences' to your Content Audit panel. The purpose of this addition to is to give you a way to identify internal or external audiences that are either a target of the information or perhaps have ownership of it, respectively.

Content Auditing

Stale, out-of-date content is always a problem on websites, especially those that have been around for a long time and have grown in size and content. SiteFarm gives you the ability to implement both an active and passive review system to help you keep an eye on content that needs a touch-up, a complete rewrite, or to be entirely removed.

Performing these audits brings great benefits:

Block regions

A block region is a defined location on a content type. Regions are typically created as part of a site's overall theme and represent a structured section of the content type, however it ultimately is displayed.
