  • If “agile marketing” is your bread and butter then @webkindaguy at @WCEurope is about to deliver you a tasty #WCEU sandwich. #WCEU2022

  • Hosting companies & developers need to be aware of building for performance. “Unfort. metrics at scale show performance in WP isn’t doing so well right now so there’s a lot to do.” @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • “#WordPress performance is a marathon, not a sprint. More important than surpassing commercial CMS is the experience for the users big or small.” Notice 2023 and 2024 years on the slide. @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • A WP plugin checker tool is being proposed. Great potential here for those having concerns about performance in #WordPress plugins. @felixarntz – link to proposal? #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • “Using modern image formats is the single performance enhancement with the GREATEST impact in improving web performance in #WordPress.” @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • I like how @visanju ON PURPOSE uses a bad contrast slide at @WCEurope to make his point during his accessibly talk. Raise your hand if you’ve seen your fair share of bad constrast conference slides. ✋🏻 #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • The Performance Lab plugin is a collection of modules focused on enhancing performance of your site, most of which should eventually be merged into #WordPress core. wordpress.org/plugins/perfor… @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Goals for the #WordPress performance team: 👉🏻 improve core performance so it migrates to all sites eventually 👉🏻 facilitate decision making based on metrics 👉🏻 raise performance awareness in the ecosystem. @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Most common performance problems in #WordPress sites. Images and JavaScript are the biggest low-hanging fruit, and what the performance team first focused on. #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • “This is where we as a #WordPress project certainly need to have performance a priority. As a start, the WordPress Performance team was officially formed.” @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Controlled stack + limited ecysystem + company-operated = performance. @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • “Another reason why proprietary CMS do better at performance: they come with their own CDN.“ #WordPress as a whole obviouslly doesn’t @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • “Proprietary CMS have detailed and lengthy approval processes that make it almost unfeasible for some individual contributor to make just any (bad performance) extension.” @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • “Proprietary CMS lead performance over #opensource because they use a controlled stack and have a limited extension ecosystem.” @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • #WordPress is still the fastest growing OPEN SOURCE CMS but the commercial ones are growing faster (Duda small amunt, hence the high %). @felixarntz #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Interesting numbers from @felixarntz on CMS performance improvements. #WordPress has improved a bit but Wix has had a massive 970% jump since March 2020. #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Time to talk #WordPress performance on stage one at #WCEurope w/ @felixarntz, who is a member of the official WP performance team. #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Accessiblity time. On stage two now at @WCEurope: @visanju explains what color contrast is and the current/future #a11y standards. #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • When it comes to working for #WordPress companies, don’t worry about working and then moving on if it’s not a good fit. “Fail fast, move on to learn.” @pbearne #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Armchair WordCampers can get their #WordPress on and watch the last day of @WCEurope via the livestream: Track 1 youtube.com/watch?v=Qq1SBF… Track 2 youtube.com/watch?v=Da1Jmi… #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Good breakdown from @pbearne at @WCEurope on the pros and cons of working for a corporation in the #WordPress space. It might be more stable with ebenefits, but often it’s hierarchical and constrainted. #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Up now on stage 2 at @WCEurope – @pbearne discusses the “#WordPress lifestyle”… practices, methods, pay, benefits. #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Live now at @WCEurope stage 1: @vasvalch on building data-driven content personas. #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • The next hosting company that puts a “flush your cache” ad in a restroom at a WordCamp like #WCEU or #WCUS gets my business.

  • What feels right and good for customers and employees vs. money: “We had bigger offers from other people with more money but it came with hooks that I just see keeping me up at night.” @justlikeair #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • “There’s no such thing as the #WordPress ecosystem. There a million different system that connect users with their particular cases.” @justlikeair #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • “I think because of this big domination or consolidation in #WordPress, it legitimizes the works of thousands of people over the last 16-17 years.” @strebel #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • Question on COVID at @WCEurope: Panelists agree It didn’t accerlate the #WordPress acqusition pace. In fact, many on the panel suggested it slowed it down. #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • “How many times did you say no [to being acquired]?” “I said no twice to @GoDaddy before I said yes once. Those no’s were added to a pile of 15.” @strebel #WCEU #WCEU2022

  • On the right tools: “They help answer the questions acquisitors ask ($$$ made, etc.) but they also help you run a business. You aren’t using them to BE ACQUIRED but to make SMART decisions.” @justlikeair #WCEU #WCEU2022
