Which of these are good recommendations? A: Cache the website to improve the site but need to move the responsive logic to CSS. The conditional logic might not be cached if the cache provider does not trigger the conditionals B: Cache the website to improve the site. No need to move the responsive logic to CSS C: jQuery is very commonly loaded on live sites multiple times due to poorly written plugins/themes. Ensure required JS files are enqueued only once and when they are needed D: CSS in <head> file will affect the speed of the site since the entire CSS file has to be loaded before rendering the site. It is advised to load only the CSS that is mandatory in the <head> and move the rest of the CSS to the later portions of the HTML

Easy Registration Queue Logic	Solve
We want to register students for the next semester. All students have a receipt which shows the amount pending for the previous semester. A positive amount (or zero) represents that the student has paid extra fees, and a negative amount represents that they have pending fees to be paid. The students are in a queue for the registration. We want to arrange the students in a way such that the students who have a positive amount on the receipt get registered first as compared to the students who have a negative amount. We are given a queue in the form of an array containing the pending amount. For example, if the initial queue is [20, 70, -40, 30, -10], then the final queue will be [20, 70, 30, -40, -10]. Note that the sequence of students should not be changed while arranging them unless required to meet the condition. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note: - The first line of the input is the length of the array. The second line contains all the elements of the array. - The input is already parsed into an array of "strings" and passed to a function. You will need to convert string to integer/number type inside the function. - You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases. For the example discussed above, the input will be: 5 20 70 -40 30 -10 Your code needs to print the following to the standard output: 20 70 30 -40 -10
Medium Longest Road logic hashmaps	Solve
A startup company E-Motors is building driverless automated cars. The car contains a sensor that checks the road quality for the next N meters to decide the optimal speed at which the cars should move. We are given recorded data by the sensor in the form of an array, where each element of the array is the rating given to 1 meter of the road in sequence. The rating given by the sensor is from 1 to 100, where 100 represents the road with the best condition, and any rating above 60 is optimal. Find the longest stretch of road in meters that is categorized as optimal by the sensor. The input is an array of "strings" which needs to be converted from string to integer/number inside the function.
Medium Visitors Count Strings	Solve
A manager hires a staff member to keep a record of the number of men, women, and children visiting the museum daily. The staff will note W if any women visit, M for men, and C for children. You need to write code that takes the string that represents the visits and prints the count of men, woman and children. The sequencing should be in decreasing order. Example: Input: WWMMWWCCC Expected Output: 4W3C2M Explanation: ‘W’ has the highest count, then ‘C’, then ‘M’. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note: - The input is already parsed and passed to a function. - You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases. - If the input is- “MMW”, then the expected output is "2M1W" since there is no ‘C’. - If any of them have the same count, the output should follow this order - M, W, C.

Reason #4

1200+ customers in 75 countries

With Adaface, we were able to optimise our initial screening process by upwards of 75%, freeing up precious time for both hiring managers and our talent acquisition team alike!

Brandon Lee, Head of People, Love, Bonito

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment PHP & WordPress Online Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

Reason #6

1 click candidate invites

Email invites: You can send candidates an email invite to the PHP & WordPress Online Test from your dashboard by entering their email address.

Public link: You can create a public link for each test that you can share with candidates.

API or integrations: You can invite candidates directly from your ATS by using our pre-built integrations with popular ATS systems or building a custom integration with your in-house ATS.

Reason #7

Detailed scorecards & comparative results

Reason #8

High completion rate

Adaface tests are conversational, low-stress, and take just 25-40 mins to complete.

This is why Adaface has the highest test-completion rate (86%), which is more than 2x better than traditional assessments.

FAQs

Can I evaluate PHP, JavaScript along with WordPress?

Yes. You can review our standard PHP Online Test and JavaScript Online Test to get a sense of what kind of questions will be used to evaluate PHP and JavaScript. The final customized test will have MCQ questions to evaluate PHP, JavaScript, WordPress and coding questions to evaluate hands-on PHP and JavaScript skills.

Can I evaluate SEO skills along with WordPress?

Yes. You can review our standard SEO Online Test to get a sense of what kind of questions will be used to evaluate SEO skills. The final customized test will have MCQ questions to evaluate WordPress and SEO questions.

How is the test customized for junior WordPress developers?

The difficulty level and topics of the questions will be customized for junior developers. The questions will be relatively easy and focus on basics of HTML, CSS, WordPress and PHP.

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify.

Do you have any anti-cheating or proctoring features in place?

We have the following anti-cheating features in place:

Non-googleable questions
IP proctoring
Web proctoring
Webcam proctoring
Plagiarism detection
Secure browser

Read more about the proctoring features.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

What experience level can I use this test for?

Each Adaface assessment is customized to your job description/ ideal candidate persona (our subject matter experts will pick the right questions for your assessment from our library of 10000+ questions). This assessment can be customized for any experience level.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.
