Browsers People Use to Visit Your Website – And the Surprise Visitor We Got This Week
It's Spring 2025. You might think everyone is browsing the web with the latest version of Chrome, Safari, or Firefox these days - but that’s not always the case. In fact, we recently had a surprising visit from someone using Internet Explorer 9.0. Yep, IE 9, which was released in 2011 and officially discontinued by Microsoft years ago, is still making rare appearances on the web.
This unexpected visit inspired us to dive deeper into what browsers users

Wix website builder does not offer clean & pretty urls
Update June 2016: Wix now offers clean & pretty urls to its customers on the main pages, but not all pages like product pages, as noted on their website.
If you choose Wix as your website builder, you will not have the benefit of clean & pretty urls. But on the other hand, the Wix website itself does enjoy this benefit. It is pretty clear they are not using their own website builder. You may be wondering, why not? ... Continue reading
