The blog discusses how strict Content Security Policy (CSP) settings blocked 51Degrees' device detection script, which required 'unsafe-eval' for dynamic JavaScript execution. The solution was to temporarily enable 'unsafe-eval' to restore functionality while managing security risks.

The new 51Degrees IsArtificialIntelligence property helps identify whether a web crawler is being used to gather data for AI training. This property gives the user greater control and can be used to block certain crawlers from accessing content, particularly when AI training doesn't serve their interests.

We’ve retired the HAProxy git.51degrees.com service. We recommend you get started with Version 4 which retains features such as in-memory data upgrades and multi-threading support.

DLL and GAC errors, blocked requests, or the IIS application pool keeps stopping. This blog provides solutions for some errors you may see if you are using 51Degrees with IIS and .NET Framework.

Version 2.6 of the OpenRTB specification introduces the Structured User Agent. This new Object: Device attribute addresses Google’s changes to the User-Agent and the new User-Agent Client Hints.

Google has made preparing for the User-Agent reduction complicated, but 51Degrees provides the tools to make implementing User-Agent Client Hints simple.

The 51Degrees UAParser provides comprehensive device data based on User-Agent Client Hints and the User-Agent, and can reliably detect Apple iPhone models.

This blog explains the reasons for optimizing your images and presents just one approach that can be used to serve next generation image formats to compatible browsers.

User-Agent Client Hints return device information in the second request rather than the first; this can cause latency issues. We discuss why Google need to address the latency and offer a work-around.

In our previous blog, we spoke about the key features and practical benefits that can be achieved with our new Optimize by Device & Location WordPress plugin. But for the web developers out there, our plugin can be further adapted to your needs.
