Yesterday, the WordPress Performance team announced the first beta release of the “Performance Lab” plugin, a proving ground for future performance improvements built into WordPress.

On Thursday, June 3 at 3:30pm EDT, I’ll be presenting “Editorial Experience: An Important Part of the Full Stack” at Click/Deploy, an event presented by Jamstack Toronto.
