All of them are indeed viable and really effective ways to speed up your site performance. However, they may not be equally applicable for everyone and there are cases in which they can actually break your website. In this presentation I will cover what actually can go wrong with each of the most popular and widely accepted performance optimization techniques, how to implement them without breaking your site and how to fix the most common issues with different speed boosters.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation is aimed at people who have a deeper understanding and experience with WordPress both playing with the codebase or setting up WordPress-friendly server environments.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='625' height='348' src='https:\/\/video.wordpress.com\/embed\/I9rKx77A?hd=1&amp;cover=1' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1674852142'><\/script><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-216967\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tUsability Testing: Have Fun and Improve Your Work\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 129\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>WordPress itself shows how important usability is.

It&#8217;s seems that functional programming is here to stay. This talk will explain what it&#8217;s all about, how it looks like in different languages and what we can learn from it. It&#8217;ll show a bunch of weird code, a few strange languages and a couple of take-aways you can apply everywhere \u2013 even in C.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-216955\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tRethinking content creation\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Content creation is at the heart of the web and yet we fail to deliver experiences that match todays needs.

In this presentation we&#8217;re taking a look back at its origins, its successes, and most importantly, its most recent improvements. Including a feature update that supercharges Underscores.me, and will change how developers will interact with WordPress starter themes for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-216943\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tStyling the WordPress admin\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Technical look, from a front ender perspective at the process of tweaking the admin styles or building a completely different look for it.<br \/>\nShowcasing a real-world example of the process and application of styles.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-216941\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tWordPress: Bringing Ideas to Life\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It&#8217;s said that ideas have power, but an idea&#8217;s power lies in its capacity to have an impact on our lives.

In reality the migration process of an active website has some challenges that, if not addressed properly, may result in downtime and data loss. Needless to say this could affect your business badly &#8211; revenue stream loss and bad reputation being just some of the implications.<\/p>\n<p>I plan to walk the audience of the presentation through the different steps in the migration process with examples how each step can be optimised so that the risks of data loss and downtime are minimised.<\/p>\n<p>The following will be covered in details:<\/p>\n<p>1. How to plan the migration, especially when you have to move a complex enterprise site.<br \/>\n2. How to perform each step of the real website move. I will stress on the need and will explain how to test if everything is ok, before changing the DNS settings.<br \/>\n3. How to handle the domain propagation issues as part of the migration.<br \/>\n4. What to do if you noticed missing data after the process.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-216907\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tBeyond the Code\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;Beyond the Code&#8221; is a practical guide to doing more with WordPress; developing yourself to work on things that matter, getting in the habit of shipping and finally contributing back to this great open source project.
