WordCamp Jacksonville 2016

Updated: February 5, 2019 //

I was happy to have the opportunity to present at WordCamp Jacksonville. It was held for the first time at Florida State College of Jacksonville on April 16th and 17th.
My talk was for the User track about Improving Website Speed.

We discussed:

  • Why you should care about your website’s speed
  • How improving website speed impacted well known big companies
  • What affects page speed
  • Several online tools to measure website speed and interpret the results
  • How fast is fast enough?
  • How to compare your website speed to your competitors

I mentioned several plugins and tools. I thought to compile a list here:

    Your talk at the 1st annual Jacksonville WordCamp was extremely informative. These tools, techniques and best practices are essential to providing a functional website. In fact, load speeds are the main reason why the new AMP project is underway. Unfortunately it is not going to be enough to be responsive, websites will have to be quick as well.
