Images look stretched down on Android browsers

Magento order emails not working

Since Magento 1.9.1, it seems that the emails are added to a cron queue that needs to be set up and can cause the emails to not work before that is done. As a developer, I have added

$isShellDisabled = true;

to my development site file cron.php after the last isShellDisabled declaration and it seems to be working, but is not the solution for live websites, only development purposes

Pagespeed does not like @imports in style sheets?

I didn't confirm 100% whether this is a pagespeed issue, but it seems like the server pagespeed module didn't allow the use of @import in the style sheet and thus didn't include any of the styles that were suppose to be imported. To solve this I simply copied the other styles over into the style sheet.

Magento Cross Domain Font issue

I recently dealt with an issue on fonts where the font face fonts would load from a static... url instead of www.. To fix this I've added a more direct url in the font.css file

//www.something.co.za/skin/frontend/default/theme/fonts/something-webfont.woff and added the following code

<block name="fonts" type="core/text">   <action method="setText">     <text><link href="//www.something.co.za/skin /frontend/default/theme/fonts/font.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></link>     </text>   </action> 

to the page layout with the CDATA tags around the 'text'
