Speeding Up at Every Level: A Multi-Layered Approach to WordPress Optimisation

👥 This is an In-Person/In-Real-Life (IRL) event!

Once you’ve compressed every image, updated every plugin and deleted every old theme, what more can you do to speed up your WordPress websites? Quite a lot, as it happens.

Like any technical system, the WordPress sites that you build can only run as fast as the slowest component. The tricky part can be identifying that component and optimising its performance.

Luckily for us, that’s more or less been Quintin Russ’s job for the last two decades.

This presentation takes a full-stack view of WordPress performance - from benchmarking hardware components to debugging PHP and every layer in between.

Learn how to assess performance in different ways and techniques to speed up your stack at every level. The result is quicker websites, more efficient use of your infrastructure, and happier customers or managers.
