Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

prerender-bot-monitor

Simple prerender plugin for writing access logs based on prerender-access-log originally published by Andrei Demian.

So what's the difference?

This prerender plugin works absolutely the same way, with these little improvements:

  • works with current version of prerender based on Headless Chrome
  • there is a bonus pac.js log parsing script helping you extract particular bots from a given log file
  • all original dependencies are updated and npm audited

How to use

In your local prerender project run:

npm install prerender-bot-monitor --save
or alternatively you can clone this repo and run npm install

Configuration

Then in the server.js that initializes the prerender:
server.use(require('prerender-bot-monitor'));

The plugin uses the morgan for creating logs and file-stream-rotator for managing file names.

  var server = prerender({
    botMonitor: {
        // Check out the file-stream-rotator docs for parameters
        fileStreamRotator: {
            filename: '/var/log/prerender/access-%DATE%.log',
            frequency: 'daily',
            date_format: 'YYYY-MM-DD',
            verbose: false
        },

        // Check out the morgan docs for the available formats
        morgan: {
            format: 'combined'
        }
    }
  });

pac.js log parsing script

This tool is located in utils/pac.js along with two test files.

Simple script which can extract access log records for particular bot. For your convenience I recommend to copy this to the folder where your access logs dwell.

Usage

$ node pac <file-name> [switches]

file-name - the full path to the access log file (thus this is convenient to copy pac.js to the log file folder)

Possible command line switches:

-g filters for Googlebot Desktop
-gm filters for Googlebot Mobile
-gi filters for Googlebot Image
-gv filters for Googlebot Video
-s filters for SeznamBot
-b filters for bingbot
-h or --help prints this help
--short prints short version
