CraftCMS

If you know anything about CraftCMS; the pros and cons and how to start out, please share!

I would agree with the above.
I would add along similar lines: tends to be better for custom, higher end websites. Craft CMS does not come with themes so you will need a developer who can build a theme from scratch. The pro of that is that it rules out a lot of less skilled developers when you post Craft jobs on sites such as Upwork.
It does not require constant updating of versions and plugins. It is maintained by the parent company Pixel & Tonic.
Although the plugins are limited they tend to be of better quality then wordpress plugins. You don't really have to worry about them going out of date and if you are working with a good developer they can probably build what you need anyway.
As a content editor, the backend is quite user friendly.

CRAFT Content Management System:
Pros:
Godly fast load times
Lightweight and versatile
Yoast equivalent plugin : SEOmaticCons: Requires a higher end user which will involve more coding
Newer and less popular CMS than something like Wordpress, which means less themes and additions are available.
Utilizes Twigs which is a pain initially to learn the dynamics of the directories and how it's mappedConclusion:
If you got time to burn learning a new CMS, go with October CMS, that one is pretty sweet!

Reducing cumulative layout shift for responsive images - core web vitals
In preparation for Core Web Vitals becoming a ranking factor in May 2021, we are making efforts to reduce our Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) on pages where the shift is being caused by images loading. The general recommendation is to specify both height and width attributes in the html, in addition to the CSS formatting which is applied when the images load. However, this is problematic in situations where responsive images are being used with different aspect ratios for mobile vs desktop. And where a CMS is being used to manage the pages with images, where width and height may change each time new images are used, as well as aspect ratios for the mobile and desktop versions of those. So, I'm posting this inquiry here to see what kinds of approaches others are taking to reduce CLS in these situations (where responsive images are used, with differing aspect ratios for desktop and mobile, and where a CMS allows the business users to utilize any dimension of images they desire).

Have Your Thoughts Changed Regarding Canonical Tag Best Practice for Pagination? - Google Ignoring rel= Next/Prev Tagging
Hi there, We have a good-sized eCommerce client that is gearing up for a relaunch. At this point, the staging site follows the previous best practice for pagination (self-referencing canonical tags on each page; rel=next & prev tags referencing the last and next page within the category). Knowing that Google does not support rel=next/prev tags, does that change your thoughts for how to set up canonical tags within a paginated product category? We have some categories that have 500-600 products so creating and canonicalizing to a 'view all' page is not ideal for us. That leaves us with the following options (feel it is worth noting that we are leaving rel=next / prev tags in place): Leave canonical tags as-is, page 2 of the product category will have a canonical tag referencing ?page=2 URL Reference Page 1 of product category on all pages within the category series, page 2 of product category would have canonical tag referencing page 1 (/category/) - this is admittedly what I am leaning toward. Any and all thoughts are appreciated! If this were in relation to an existing website that is not experiencing indexing issues, I wouldn't worry about these. Given we are launching a new site, now is the time to make such a change. Thank you! Joe
