Free CORS Proxy List To Use With JavaScript

Free CORS Proxy List To Use With JavaScript

Whenever if you have tried to use some API or tried to get some information from the GET reuest via JavaScript XMLHttp Request or fetch(), you must have encountered the error similar that of below.

CORS error in chrome dev tools console

You can use free CORS proxy servers to bypass same-origin policy related to performing standard AJAX requests to 3rd party services. Usually it is not recommended to use these proxies in production mode, simply because you might have no control over it. But you can set up your own proxy server and use it.

These free CORS proxy server list here is made to use their API for development mode.

You can use to prevent mixed content of images and JSON data proxying the resources to serve them under https.

1. Codetabs CORS Proxy

API URL => "https://api.codetabs.com/v1/proxy?quest=<url_to_http_resource>"

- Each request is limited to 5mb size download to avoid abuse.

- Only supports GET request.

- Limit : 5 request per second. Once reached subsequent requests will result in error 429 (too many requests) until your quota is cleared.

2. origin.maskoding.com

API URL => https://origin.maskoding.com/?url=<url_to_http_resource>

- Only supports GET request.

3. All Origins


API URL => https://api.allorigins.win/get?url=<url_to_http_resource>

Example With JavaScript Fetch =>

fetch(`https://api.allorigins.win/get?url=${encodeURIComponent('https://wikipedia.org')}`)

                    .then(response => {

                      if (response.ok) return response.json()

                      throw new Error('Network response was not ok.')

                    })

                    .then(data => console.log(data.contents));

Example

Now suppose I need to get a contents of a page on Wikipedia to show a user on my web page, I can call fetch() to that particular URL via JavaScript. But the request won't get completed because of CORS or Cross-origin Resource Sharing.

For which you need to fetch() the webpage data from your server and then show it to user.

Now fortunately, we have these free APIs so that we don't actually need to set up a server to make all request with them.

SO above were the list. If you know any more proxy sites, do enter the links in the comment section so that others would also get to know about them. 😊

Google turned down support for their URL Shortener, Here are the top 7 Alternatives

Google turned down support for their URL Shortener, Here are the top 7 Alternatives
url shortener alternatives
As of March 30, 2018, Google announced on their developer's blog that they are looking forward towards bright future and moved towards Fire Base, leaving behind the support for their URL shortener, Goo.gl.

Shortening the URLs is much of fun as they were giving you a track on traffic coming from different social media and apart from that, they were easy to share.

Hence, compressing large URLs into a small, we can't sit back and now need to find some other alternatives to URL shorteners. So, here, I've collected the top 10 alternatives for URL shorteners.
1.Bit.ly
Bit.ly is very good for Information Tracking.They are much powerful to deliver high engagement and real time insights. Bitly offers you to shorten, brand, track, and share links from its secure and intuitive platform.Account limits you for making 500 branded links and 10,000 non-branded links.
Bit.ly link shortener.
Enterprise account (paid service) can give you much more links as you want and you can analyze the information more accurately and get richer analysis than the free account.Over 3 hundred billion links are shortened by bit.ly (and counting).

2.Ow.ly
Ow.ly is User friendly.Ow.ly has a very user-friendly dashboard for shortening links and to track them.In order to create short links, you need to sign in to a Hoot-suite dashboard.The free version of Hoot-suite gives you unlimited access to the Owly link shortener. You can also upgrade to a paid plan if you need more features.
Owly URL shrinker.

3.TinyURL
Tiny URL is best for anonymous use. TinyURL is very simple and best for anonymous use somewhat like Google URL shortener.Once created a link by TinyURL, it didn't break in email postings or expires.
TinyURL homepage.

Just head over to their sire, enter your link to be shortened, add your custom alias if you want (this makes TinyURL better than Google URL Shortener.) and hit enter!

One down-point I found is that, if your custom aliases is not available, you need to add the URL and need to do the whole process again. TinyURL is good for simple URLs, but not for professional use.

4.Ouo.io
To make a little bucks out of your links.
Ouo.io can be used not only to shorten your links but also to make some cash.You can make nearly or more than $8 from 1000 clicks no matter from same or different IP or user.This makes this URL shortener a very simple and easy to use.At the date of writing this post, Ouo.io not uses https:// which may disappoint some people. Although, they can update it.

Minimum payout in Ouo.io is 5$ and paid 1st and 15th day of the month.
Ouo.io URL shortener.

There are many short-links sites like these which pays you through the means of advertising.When user will click on your short link, these site takes them to a page where there is an advertisement.After some time, they redirect the user to their original page.would suggest you not to go through this method, as the ads on the platform may be spamery, which may make the user disappointing and annoying cause to leave your site.It could also take down your reputation.

5.Buffer.com
Buffer is good at managing social media links.It is another short linking site which is free as well as paid.In the paid account, of course, you will get a lot more benefits.It has business plans to $399.

Buffer is simplest and most powerful social media tool, and to set the bar for great customer support.You can give it a try in its free plan first before upgrading in pro plan.

6.Cutt.us
Simplest URL shortener.Cutt Us is very simple to use.Just head over to cutt.us, paste a long URL, you can also add custom alias if you want and hit enter! You have a short link and Qr code ready.Must try!
Cutt.us URL shortener.

7.V.ht
Really very hot!If you don't prefer cutt.us, then v.ht is best smart service for you.It is simple, easy to use, and fast.
V.ht URL shortener.

I have tried to provide the best names of URL shortener with a varying need of different users.If you know more URL shorteners than these, you can comment down below.

Set any thumbnail for the blogger blog post

Set any thumbnail for the blogger blog post

While comparing WordPress and Blogger, the one down-point of Blogger is that there is no feature to set or choose any picture that you want as thumbnail of the post.Today, we are going to see how we can choose the random picture as thumbnail for the blog post.

To do this, first we need to understand that to which picture the Blogger makes as its first photo!It has been noticed that Google Blogger always takes the first picture in the article as its thumbnail.

So, the solution is to make a beautiful thumbnail and always add it as the first thumbnail of the post.

But, what if you don't want to put it as the first image?For that, there is a little hack!Let me show you that.


  • First, after writing the whole post, add  the thumbnail image at the top of the post like in the below image.
    Adding photos in Google Blogger.
Adding photos in Google Blogger blog post.

After adding thumbnail at the top of the post, it will look something like this.
Editing in blogger.
Now, Switch to HTML tab from compose tab as shown below.
Switch to HTML from compose in Google Blogger.
After that, you'll find the <img> tag.If you know HTML, you will understand this better.
Editing HTML of blog post.

Now, we need to hide the image using attribute style='display:none'.So, add it after '<img '.Then it will look something like this.
Adding style attribute in HTML.

BOOM!That's it! Now publish the post and you will notice that the
 thumbnail is Not visible in the post but is visible in the Home where all the articles are being shown,You will also com to know that while sharing the links on social media, such as Facebook, thumbnail is being shown.

If you preview this, then it will won't work.This trick will work only after publishing the article.This will not work if you did any mistake in between.There should be space left in front and back of the 'style='display:none''.If you have any problem, comment down below.I'l surely reply.

If you want demo, then check in this article itself.You won't find any thumbnail included in this post, but when you look it from the home, then it will appear.

Increase you Facebook page likes

Increase you Facebook page likes
Making a Facebook page is a very easy task, but gaining likes becomes difficult sometimes.So here we come up with some extreme tips that will help you in getting more Facebook page likes.

1.Make all the things set up
After creating a Facebook page, follow the tips give Facebook,i.e. Set up a profile , cover and then set a unique id for the page.Unique Id should be short, rememberable this redirects your page like https://wwwfacebook.com/your_id,. The reason behind it is-; Let me explain with an example.If you search Css-magz on google, the first result comes up is on our Facebook page then you'll see on somewhat 3rd or 4th link that this site is there.So, having social media accounts similar to the website name is better.
Another advantage is, the search engine will see your page as a little well known as it will see your likes on Facebook page.Make sure you've added your site's URL in your facebook page's about section.

The best way to target the right audience on your page is by promoting your Facebook page.You can promote any of the Facebook posts on your page, in minimum $1.It will bring true followers as Facebook targets their ads to the people of the specific interest.

Other ways are Quora and Facebook groups.These ways remain common as I have discussed that in this article.But, here I'm going to add some more Facebook groups.

2.Make Magical posts
Make some good posts like quote posts.You can easily make them very beautiful using Canva.
You can also make some other, such as did you know or comic post like below.You can take help of the tools like Meet Edgar to maximise your reach.



3.Add Facebook widgets to your blog or site
You might have noticed that when you leave a site, a popup comes like below and tells you to like their Facebook page.These are Facebook widgets.You can make then very simply here.These are plugins also called as Social plugins which helps you to maximize your reach to the people of you blog.
Make a Facebook like plugin for your website
First add your page URL like-'https://www.facebook.com/cssmagz'.Enter in tabs what you want to show.For e.g. timeline, message, events etc. You can also specify the width and height and then click on the 'Get Code'.Then you will get a code.You can embed it either through FB JavaScript SDK or an iFrame.

3.Invite your friends to like
You can, of course, invite your own friends to like your Facebook page.It is very easy way to get likes very early when you start your page.
Invite friends on Facebook.

4.Make two pages
This trick can also be used when you are unable to get expected likes.Make another page of nearly similar topic.For e.g. I have a brand page-'Tony Bakes' then another page will be-'Cake Lovers'.

Cross post across two pages to increase their likes.Try to touch the emotional feelings of the people towards their passion to get more likes.

Also, you can submit your posts to another page with lots of likes.Or can tell them to share your one of the post so that the people will also reach your page.

5.Share your Facebook page
There are many groups on Facebook a we've discussed here where users will exchange their Facebook page links and like each others posts.Join these groups and start sharing.

6.Try to use the following words in your Facebook page post.
To maximize your post reach, you expect to share it by your followers.So remember to use the following words next time-

Warns,Inspires,Unites,Amuses,Gives,Offers,Discount,Deals,Amazes,Advises.

It also seems that Facebook helps these posts to get maximum reach.

7.Post things at right times.

Avoid posting anytime .Its better to make a schedule.The best time to post are 12 PM, 3 PM and 7 PM. Although, this cannot be accurate for all the people because of different demographic and industrial factors.

10 Tips to Speed Up Your Blog's Loading Speed

10 Tips to Speed Up Your Blog's Loading Speed
Maintaining higher blog speed is also a factor in SEO. We constantly need to check if our blog is running at uniform speed or not and for that we need to apply some techniques to make it faster.

Today we are going to look at some easy to do techniques to boost up page loading time.
make blog load faster.
  • Take Look At Host
The very important thing if you have any blog, website or web app.It is okay if your bog is hosted on blogger.com as it runs on Google servers which are usually fast.

But if you are using any third party hosts, and your page loading speed isn't that great, then you need to upgrade your plans.If you are using shared hosting then upgrade it to VPS.
Server hosting websites.

  • minify CSS and JavaScript
If your scripts are not minified(compressed), then do it as it will surely increase your page load speed. Minifying or compressing this scripts will reduce the size of the files and thus, they will load faster.
If you use WordPress, you can use this or any other plugin.For non-WordPress users or bloggers, you can use some online tools like this.

  • Compress images
This is the most important factor responsible for slow page loading speed. Many bloggers use high -quality images(nothing harm in them) and their size is also high so it takes much time in loading.
You need to compress this images as they will reduce image size and there is no much need of using high-quality 1080x1768 px images if finally, they will be loading at 590x590px. Also at mobile phone level, there is no much need of using this high-quality images.

When the page is being loaded, the browser tends to load the text in the page first.If you have already specified height and width of the image in <img> tag, the browser will leave that space and will load the text first and then it will load the images.

For compressing images, you can use WordPress plugins such as smush or many online tools are also available like this.
If you are using Google blogger, the Blogger will automatically resize the image and will add height width.

  • Use CDN
Using content delivery network or CDN page will absolutely load faster as it would load resources from the nearest server to user. YouTube also uses CDN to deliver the video much faster to the user and cuts off much streaming time.There are many CDN available such as CloudFlare. It has 150+ data centers around world.
CDN worldwide.
  • Use a better theme
Use an SEO friendly, fast loading theme.If theme itself takes much time in loading, you need to change it immediately.
WordPress themes.

Choose a theme from well-trusted sources. It is better not to go much far for free themes in case of WordPress or similar as they can further create problems if there are any malicious code in it.In Blogger,theme  is made of simple xml yet you need to download from trusted sources.
  • Don't load unnecessarily
Check whether some resources are loading unnecessary such as unnecessary scrips etc. If they are, better to remove them.
  • Delete unnecessary plugins
If you find that a plugin is no longer useful to you, do delete it. Check for a plugin that would do the work of two or more different plugins(plugins substitute).
  • Show limited number of posts
Anytime if a user searched anything to set a limit of 10 results or like that.Loading posts way more will increase loading time.So load a limited number of posts or even comments.
  • Use JavaScript at end
When inserting JavaScript to the page, such as Facebook or any other sites, add it after <body> tag.SO it will not interrupt the existing things while loading.

  • Don't use too many Advertisements
We've seen many bloggers using too many ads from different ad publishers.Load all the ads after loading the page.Many times, in slower connections before loading the text and images, the ads start bonking up.This is because they have inserted the scripts at top of the page.These scripts take time to load and further the whole page loads slowly.
too many advertisement.


Well, Google seems to consider 0.5-1 sec as excellent page loading time. However,less than 3 sec are average for most of the websites.
Use the above tips to make your blog faster and move a rank up in Google search!

5 Golden Tips to Grow your Blog Like a charm

5 Golden Tips to Grow your Blog Like a charm
Here I'm going to share a direct 5 great tips to grow your blogs like a charm, both for WordPress or blogger, but the main focus is on blogger.If you follow these steps, your blog will turn out into a great success!

Grow your blog fast like charm.

  • Basic Things
After starting a blog, the most basic thing you should follow that will help you to make great impressions in SEO.First, you should set up an SSL certificate, or in other words, change your blogs URL from http:// to https: //. A good name also plays a role in SEO.A good rememberable name will remind people of your blog when they need any help.

Search engine optimization - SEO.
Another important thing is applying SEO friendly and mobile friendly theme, as 51% of Google traffic comes from mobile devices.So the Google ranks the websites higher which are mobile suitable while searched on mobile devices.In case of Blogger, you don't have to worry about the page speed as they are running on Google servers which are very fast.If you are blogging on WordPress with any third party hosting, try to maintain your speed high.

To increase your page loading speed, compress the images.Many images compressing sites are available online like compress jpeg.You can also use WordPress plugins like Smush Image or Lazy Load.

In case of WordPress, you can disable unwanted plugins or can use a better plugin that will do the work of two or three plugins together.I'll write a separate post on how to increase blog load speed.

  • Set up a good Niche
Sometimes, the major mistake that most of the bloggers make is they choose a niche that is unsuitable for them because they don't have that much knowledge about that topic.That doesn't make a perfect money blogging.If you are a money blogger you need to find your niche about which you are passionate about, you have more knowledge about and which is profitable.

Here, the profitable means you have to check some factors such as-

    ✔ Whether there is enough reader base for that topic.
    ✔ How many resources you have and will they increase in feature?
    ✔ How you can attract advertisers.
    ✔ Are there any affiliate marketing programs available?
    ✔ Are other making money?
    ✔ How will be the competition between you and other blogs?
  • Avoid Plagiarism
This is really matters and I think most of the bloggers follow this.You should not copy anyone's content, even images, and other media.You can of course images etc. by their permission giving them a proper credit.Or else use free stock image sites like Pixabay to get images.You can download free images from there.

If you want to copy the little piece of text from Wikipedia etc. , cover them with quotes.
But it will not completely save you from the stamp of plagiarism.
  • Let people know about your Blog
You started a blog and wrote many of your original articles, but how people can know about your blog and niche and how would you catch your right visitors?

The answer absolutely is advertising, but there are many ways to do this free also.You can do this with social media sites and use them as your advertising or marketing platform.I had written a post on this here.

If you are thinking of making a paid promotion, Facebook may be the right option for you as it provides a cheap advertising starting from $1.
  • Create an Ecosystem
An ecosystem is yet another great marketing strategy.The healthy ecosystem between you and your visitors generates an ecosystem.
Social media is a great way to connect your visitors.Try to make the official accounts of your blog or websites on social media.For example, you can make a page of your blog on facebook with the same id.So if anyone searched about your blog in starting days, the user will get the link to your facebook page and from there he will redirect to your page.There are many more changes that people came to know about your blog because of social media.Lots of traffic can be gained through social media.
social media

You can add the widget or provide the links to different social media accounts on your blog.It will keep the readers and your blog connected.
  • Bonus Point+
Here I'm going to share a bonus tip that most of the bloggers lack.It is of Google Search Console.After writing few articles on your blog, how you will know the statistics of traffic through Google?You can track it by using Google Search Console - a tool which tells you about the number of impressions and clicks your blog or website gained.
Google search console.

It also shows you the queries on which the impressions occur or clicks gained.To start, all the heck you have to do is sign up.It is, even more, easier for the bloggers with Google Blogger.I just amaze how people leave this important thing!

Finally, Now you about the 5 (6 actually :p) Golden Tips to grow and get better impressions in SEO point of view.Thanks for reading by now and do Like our Facebook Page.

Facebook, which is the biggest social media platform with millions of users, takes first place on this list.After creating a blog, the better is you create the facebook page for that.Go instructions step by step, and setup an id as same as the blogs name.So that, if anyone searched the blogs name on google or any other search engine, can get your social page first then he can go to your blog in case your new blog hasn't come in the SEO rankings.For example, if you search for css-magz on google, you'll find that its Facebook page is coming at the top.

Along with this, you can invite your friends to like the page and they'll get the links to the new articles you're posting on the page.If you want to make this more effective and want to draw more people's attention, you can promote a specific post on the Facebook page which will act as an advertisement.But for this, you have to pay minimum $1 to Facebook.The more you'll pay, the more audience you'll get.
