Workshop: Front-end Web Performance Clinic 2020

Michael Herchel

 

We all know that your website’s performance is critical to the success of its mission. Conversion rates are proven to plummet if with every second of page load time. What can we do about this? Why is the web still slow in 2020? In this clinic, we’re going deep, deep into modern web performance, and you will learn how to identify and fix performance bottlenecks in your website / webapp.

Workshop: Caching and performance deep dive 2.0

FabiAn Franz

 

Drupal has the most advanced caching system of any CMS out there right now. This leads to many opportunities to create the fastest Drupal sites ever and easily cache content directly at the edge, but there are also many challenges, problems and learning curves to overcome. This session wants to provide every participant with the tools and knowledge via practical exercises to understand caching and performance optimization deeply.
