TYPO3 Newsletter - November 2021

We are running a UX Workflow Pilot Program, and invite all TYPO3 users to test the new Page Module with your version 11 projects. This pilot will allow us to test the UX workflow, and collect your feedback before integrating changes into the Core.

With the new Verified Extensions and Integrations program, TYPO3 takes an important step forward in strengthening the TYPO3 ecosystem. A greater emphasis on system stability and transparent release cycles enable better long-term planning for your TYPO3 project.

In recent years, larger Git-based solutions (such as GitHub and GitLab) changed the primary development branch name from master to main. TYPO3 Core Development uses the Git versioning system and its review system, Gerrit. When people create their new repositories on GitHub or GitLab, their default branch is called main, and TYPO3 is now keeping in sync with the common standard.

In this episode, we hear from Susi Moog, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the TYPO3 GmbH. Today we learn about how she first came to know and use TYPO3, what her day-to-day role consists of, and how the TYPO3 GmbH enhances the CMS technology and supports the community, agencies, and professionals within it.

TYPO3 is the ultimate CMS. It's no surprise then, that you may be interested in building a career in TYPO3. There are lots of career opportunities for those who want to work with TYPO3 CMS. In fact, TYPO3 can be a very lucrative area within the web, application, and software development industries.

TYPO3 is a content management system (CMS) with which websites, microsites and intranets can be realized well and, above all, extremely individually. As TYPO3 can be easily operated by editors, necessary updates can be made without detailed technical knowledge and regardless of location. Thanks to front-end editing, content can be edited directly while browsing.

However, this alone is not enough to achieve top rankings on Google. TYPO3 already comes with some necessary extensions that can facilitate search engine optimization. In addition, further relevant optimizations can be made using other extensions. In this article, we will show you the best tips for Typo3 SEO.

A long time ago, I wrote an article about how to speed up your TYPO3 project and achieve scores of 100 in PageSpeed Insights (aka Lighthouse). A lot has happened since then. The technology has developed further and TYPO3 itself has also become faster. But anyone hoping that an update will be enough to increase the score will soon be disappointed.
