51Degrees

51Degrees is delighted to announce its agreement with Seznam.cz, leader of the Czech online market.

Seznam.cz selected 51Degrees Enterprise solution due to the superior accuracy, speed, coverage and frequency of updates.

With the continuing rise of mobile usage for web and apps, companies like yours need to integrate Device Detection into your analytics, strategic decision making, programmatic advertising and content optimisation process. Device Detection is the process of capturing accurate real-time intelligence about the devices being used to access online information, including web and native apps. This Device Intelligence provides more granular analytics to identify where online content is performing best on any device, regardless of screen size.

The 51Degrees Device Detection software allows an application to determine the exact details about a user’s device. We support many programming language versions and have made some recent enhancements that are relevant for anyone using PHP, LUA and Go.

There are many 3rd party tools that can be used to test and validate builds. In this article, we will be focusing on the use of Valgrind alongside the 51Degrees API as a memory leak detector.

51Degrees are often asked how our data compares to other Device Intelligence providers. In this blog we highlight the key differences between the data you can retrieve from Google analytics and the granular device data we can provide.

In July 2017, after eight long years of deliberation, the European Patent Office (EPO) finally granted Afilias Technologies Ltd patent EP2245836B1 "Determining a property of a communication device". 51Degrees, the company I founded and still run, opposed this patent not because we think it affects any of our current products but because it attempts to monopolise the earlier WURFL (Wireless Universal Resource FiLe) solution now run by ScientiaMobile along with other well-known computing techniques.

It has been 7 years since web professionals went mad for mobile first, Responsive Web Design (RWD), single URL, one size works for websites on every device. Every major publisher in the UK got swept along. Adtech and advertisers had to fit in. Have web professionals forgotten the power of server-side optimisation or the techniques available to them?
