MLOps
Practices for maintaining machine-learning models, data, deployments and monitoring. They address changes in data and model quality after production launch.
Definition and sourcesMobile-first indexing
Google's use of mobile content for indexing and ranking. It does not mean a separate phone-only index; content parity between views matters.
Definition and sourcesMockup
A visual presentation of a design in context, such as an interface inside a device frame. It need not be interactive or prove a working product exists.
Definition and sourcesModSecurity
A web-application firewall engine analysing HTTP through rules. Effectiveness depends on rulesets, updates and control of false positives.
Definition and sourcesMODX
A content management system with flexible content and presentation tools. Implementation needs careful extension selection, permissions and updates.
Definition and sourcesMongoDB
A document database storing structures in BSON. Flexible modelling does not remove the need for schema design, indexes and consistency rules.
Definition and sourcesMoodle
An open-source platform for learning, courses and assessment. Maintenance also covers plugins, learner accounts, data backups and security updates.
Definition and sourcesMozRank
A historical name for a Moz link-related metric. Old scores should not be treated as current Google metrics or compared without checking methodology.
Definition and sourcesMozTrust
A historical Moz metric concerning link relationships to selected trusted sources. It is a vendor metric, not a Google security or trust certification.
Definition and sourcesMRV
An entry retained from the old glossary with uncertainty flagged. “Maximal Revenue Value” was not confirmed as a standard blockchain term. Ethereum documents MEV, Maximal Extractable Value. The abbreviations should not be treated as verified synonyms.
Definition and sourcesMTA Strict Transport Security
A policy allowing domains to require secure SMTP transport to designated servers. It needs valid certificates and configuration and is not end-to-end email encryption.
Definition and sourcesMultimodality
An AI system's ability to work with different data types, such as text, images and audio. Supported inputs and outputs depend on the model.
Definition and sourcesMyBB
PHP-based discussion-forum software. It provides accounts, discussions and extensions; keeping plugins current is part of security maintenance.
Definition and sourcesMySQL
A relational database-management system using SQL for data storage and queries with access controls. Licensing and capabilities depend on the distribution and version. The product name alone does not guarantee reliability.
Definition and sourcesn8n
A workflow-automation tool connecting applications and services. Connection permissions, secrets and error handling need controls, including in self-hosted deployments.
Definition and sourcesNatural language processing
A field of computational language processing, including classification and information extraction. Not every NLP method requires a large language model.
Definition and sourcesNegative SEO
Actions intended to harm another website's visibility, such as link spam. A ranking drop alone proves no attack; investigate evidence and alternative causes.
Definition and sourcesNet Promoter Score
A recommendation-intent metric: percentage of promoters minus percentage of detractors. Survey results do not replace observation of customer behaviour.
Definition and sourcesNetiquette
Guidelines for considerate online communication, respecting context and privacy. Historical guidance should be interpreted for modern channels rather than treated as immutable internet law.
Definition and sourcesNewsletter
A message or series sent to subscribers, usually by email, to inform, teach or present offers. Readers should understand what they subscribe to, how often messages arrive and how to unsubscribe.
Definition and sourcesNext.js
A React framework offering routing and multiple rendering approaches. Rendering and caching choices affect SEO, data freshness and infrastructure cost.
Definition and sourcesNFT
A non-fungible token identified within a system, often linked to metadata or a resource. Buying the token does not automatically transfer image copyright. Link persistence and permissions depend on the specific project.
Definition and sourcesNGINX
A web server and reverse proxy supporting proxying, caching and load balancing. Response performance and privacy depend on configuration.
